Where to order top and side (tilt) cylinders?

[napabavarian]

Aparently the guys in "hydraulics" don't know I already have the Kubota valves mounted and ready to go, but opted to avoid the absurdly overpriced name on the Kubota cylinders, can someone point me in the right direction? I don't need any gimickey extra valves, just the cylinders and hoses!

Thanks!

You can go here and get them from CCM.
CCM TNT Systems
They have the double pilot operated check valves hard plumbed on them. A plus IMHO.

Or you can go here to buy and make your own. Go to the hydraulic cylinders for the size and lengths you need for your machine.
Surplus Center
You can get all the hoses and fittings there too.

The question I ask myself every time I look at CCMs check valve is...why? If it is so important then why havn't I seen it on any other machines? The neighbor just spent a year and a half devoloping his 68 acres, and not one of those machines had it, nor does any other machine or package I've seen...

I have read all the posts and info from CCM, but it is based on circular logic, a great marketer though!

As far as surpluss center, that place is awsome! Thanks for the link

There are many here who have posted, "why"
It is a must have if you have a bit of leaky hydraulic.
I have the top and I'm glad it has the check valve. If I encounter and sudden shock load, (for whatever reason) the valve and not my tractor will handle it.

At least that's my logic.

That I understand, old valves or hoses on the tractor

I should have said, "if your hydraulics leak"

It's not only that, it is stack tolerance build up. Given that the factory valves that are put on compact tractors or even utility tractors have leak down. It even applies to after market valves unless they are the very expensive ones with almost no seeping past the spool. This a normal problem with hydraulic valves.

Do you think you could give people a chance to read it in the hydraulics section before you shoot off a repeat of the question in a different section???

I take it you did NOT do a SEARCH of the forums to see if this question had been answered before...

On #1, 15 hours 44 minutes, and no replies, not usual... I figured that would be the best place, but most likley there arn't as many people surfing over there, more minds = more knowledge not trying to offend any one

On #2, actually I have searched endlessly, but it seems that CCM has this site locked up, almost all TNT threads go to the CCM product, I have even tried google, and discovered on smaller boards CCI is considered a spamer, but I believe they are an advertiser here, I'd like to see the options, and I've only found one other serious option so far, here perhaps someone other than myself likes options and research?

Cheers

You could wing it and make your own using components from Surplus Center like I did. I did buy the CCM top link when I first got my tractor, but added a 3 spool rear remote and 2 hydraulic side links myself.
