Need heavier hydraulic top and side link suggestions JD 6120M

[Dadnatron]

Looking for a pretty beefy hydraulic top and sidelink for JD 6120M.

Rear lift is around 5500lbs and I want to ensure the links handle that weight easily. Need to feather out my land plane better, but want it to be able to handle anything else for the machine. I’d also like to have it spec’d with internal flow preventor to keep it locked under pressure of the implement.

I have 3 rear hydraulics, so want to put the links on one with an electronic selector so I can keep it hooked up and usable. I had them on a previous machine and was constantly removing the hoses to attach other things. I’d like to avoid that and keep 2 connections open for other use.

So if anyone has any recommendations or connections for heavier duty links and selector switches, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks, I thought he’d stopped at some point. I had him do the same on my previous tractor, but forgot the name.

You are looking at about $3K for everything. Cylinders will dead lift just over 11,000lbs for your tractor.

Do you have the measurements for a 6120M?

It’s not currently on your list.

I do, just not a common machine to build for. It's been a few years since I have built a set for this model.
I'm assuming that yours is a cat 2 hitch?

Need to fill out the Fit Rite contact page.

Which electronic selector are you planning?

Which electronic selector are you planning?

I haven’t delved to deeply into options, just know that I definitely want one.

Any recommendations?

I have one that you have to hold a button down to divert to the second output, I don’t like it because you have to hold it down instead of toggling a switch. I was hoping you were going to tell me about an awesome one I can switch to.

If you think that you want a particular function to remain on instead of auto returning to the default position, simply install a maintained switch instead of the momentary switch that you have.

The idea of having the momentary switches is so that everytime you go to use that function, you always know where you are starting from. With a maintained switch, it's always a guess unless you have other ways of identifying what diverter is on.

It's not like you have to hold the switch on for minutes, typically only seconds.
But then I suppose it depends on what exactly you are using the divertered funtion for.

That’s a good point I can just swap out the electrical switch. I had the diverter for my snowblower wings. I replaced my with a tee fitting so both wings operate together and it’s a much better experience. It was super awkward to control them independently with the momentary switch.
