Winton WVF130 Verge Flail tilt cylinder size

[Quarryscapes]

Bit of a long shot as I don't suppose there are many owners of these on here, however worth asking. I've recently acquired one of these brand new and very cheap on account of the Hydraulic cylinder operating the tilt having been replaced by a Cat 2 top link. Easy solution is replace it with a Cat 2 Hydraulic link, but I'm not sure what size I need and due to the weight of the thing I can't phyiscally tilt it and measure! (285Kg vs office job Engineer is a very short and one sided battle). If any kind owener of one here could tilt one up 90 degrees and let me know the centres of the cylinder I would be msot grateful ineed!

Can you upload pictures of the flail mower please? I need to see the cylinder mounting points.
The tilt cylinder has to be the right size to allow it to travel below horizontal and also be fully
retracted to vertical.

You need the "exact" cylinder for this flail shredder/mower otherwise you will not be able to use it.

Whoever owned this flail shredder/mower miss used it and damaged the tilt cylinder by breaking
or bending the cylinder rod and damaged the stuffing box and did not replace the cylinder.
