Quick Hitches 3rd link

[SPYDERLK]

The speed is not a problem. I have found a DC actuator that has a 1000# operating load and a 3000# static load, and it is under the price of the hyd top link itself. If this would not be enough. What would be?

It would be going on a JD 3320. The lift capacity is around 2600#.

I would also like to get away from adding more hydraulic lines to the bake of my machine. Just thought it may be a good idea.

I am glad that people will still take the time to help someone else and give them some advice. I for one come up with alot of strange ideas so don't expect this to be the last. Thanks for the advise.... hydrolic it is. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, what the advice did not tell you was that forces are far beyond what you had in mind. Static [not bouncing] forces in tension could easily go well beyond the rating of that link from just lifting an overhung load with the lift arms -- much less a loaded boompole. Forces from bouncing would exceed the already marginal static forces many times over. And the 1000# adjusting limit would usually require any implement of size to be set down while making the adjustment or the screw drive would stall.

I have planned to add a diverter to the front and the rear(I need a remote for the grapple) I do have a snow blower that i need the rear remote to swing the shoot. Other than that I don't really need any more remotes. I think if I put short 1/4" lines to the top link and tie them back they won't get in the way anyhow. Now I just have to decide if I want the front diverter on the tractor or the loader:confused2:
