What size hydraulic hose for 7320 rear remote?

[UpON]

Morning All,

I’m looking to install a hydraulic top link to use with my box blade. Found a top link at a local dealer but I’ll need to get pre-made hoses and unsure of the size to get. The 7320 is using 19gpm so I’m thinking 1/2” lines will work, but wanted to confirm here. TIA

I used 1/2" on mine but 3/8" would be just as good.

For a top link you could go as low as 1/4” if you wanted. It will not make much difference except for the speed of which the cylinder moves.

As has been mentioned most any size will work just fine. A quarter or 3/8's will be nicer to work around then a half inch hose.

I recommend 3/8" hose. Pretty much every top & side link supplier that build these units provide-recommend 3/8" hose.

1/4 or 3/8, no way 1/2.

I have 1/4" hoses on my TnT. They operate too fast for my liking. I plan on getting some restrictors to slow them down.

1/4 or 3/8, no way 1/2.

Why not 1/2" Kenny? I'm running 1/2. Fits and works fine. I run 1/2 on everything. It makes it easier to have everything the same size.

Greatly appreciate the support all!

I’ll probably run the 3/8” and call it done

And "single wire" will be more flexible and be plenty strong enough for most anything especially a top link.
