If you decide that you want the best T&T set, $1419.49 tax & shipping included.

Thanks. A couple questions:

  1. Do you fabricate your own hydraulic cylinders?
    • If yes, do you sell seal kits or do they use common off the shelf kits available all over?
  2. For the M59 I believe the 3PT can lift right under 4000lb, would you go with the 2.5" or 3"?

  3. Which brand and model hose do you use?
    1. 3\8 or 1\4?
  4. I use skid steer quick connects, so I won't need the AG style, not sure if that's part of your kit or not, but maybe save me some money :D if It is, ha ha :)

Looks like kubota has T&T kit, I never knew... but I don't see dimensions either :/


I found spares on Messicks, for sure not paying 2000+ for their kit when the Summit kits are under 700$ total, and I'm thinking I can DIY it around 400-500$ depending if I can find surplus center RAM that works for the bore\stroke I need. They're such tiny rams they should be cheap.
The Summit kits have electronic valves. You might want to consider this. The factory kits have manual valves with levers. The manual values allow for more finesse when operating. I much prefer the manual valves.

Ah yes good thing to note! Thanks

I bit the bullet last summer and installed three factory remotes with valve levers. It wasn’t cheap but I’m glad I did it. I really wish I would have ordered the remotes on the new tractor because it would have been a lot cheaper.

Yes, I build all of the top & tilt cylinders that I sell.
I do not sell seal kits, they are warrantied for as long as I am in business.
You can get about any cylinder seal that I use from MCmaster-Carr. Seals are always available, you just have to look.
2 1/2" cylinders with 1 1/2" dia rods. I have built many of these sets for the M59 & M62 TLBs, have had ZERO issues to date.
I use flexdraulic R17 hose. The cylinder hoses would be 3/8" hose.
I do not supply flat face couplers, maybe you should just take care of all of the hoses needed for this installation. A $178 credit including the shipping cost.

I'm fairly sure that I sent you a quote last year. Maybe take another look at the quote from Oct 26 2024.

Right on! And yeah, you probably did as I've bounced back and forth on these attachments and when I got a quote for repair that was more than both attachments ... well that made the decision for me.

Let me see what I need for hoses\connections and I'll be in touch, I'm more likely to get work done if I don't have to spend time figuring it all out so I may just get it all from you, and swap parts in the future LOL!

@MtnViewRanch been out with the flu, sorry for delay...

I had another question, since you're building these is there the option for different wall thickness on the cylinder body or do you only buy honed tube in one size to work with? With that question, I have another :D can you make a ram to my spec for another project or two?
 
   / New Attachments coming this week!! #18  
Wall thickness is 3/16", I am in business to make T&T sets, not custom one-off cylinders that require ultra custom ends. I can't keep up with doing what I do without going down a rabbit hole for a one off that takes who knows how much time.
It would be different if I was not so busy, but I am and it would only be a $$$$ loser for me.
