Aux hydraulics for DK45

Lawnmasters · Sep 9, 2017

Hello all,

I have a DK40SE that I want to at least take advantage of the aux. hydraulic lever that comes stock on the machine to use a hydro top link. Can I buy any hydraulic cylinder from a place like tractor supply and a couple of hoses/quick connectors that will mate with tractor and be good? Or is there a specific type/size of cylinder I have to get? I am also interested in going ahead and getting the top and tilt going with the extra valve and controller. Anyone have outlets to buy this from, my nearest Kioti dlr. is miles and miles away.

I got my hydraulic top link from Agri Supply relatively reasonable in price, as far as adding more Hydraulics I think I would trust Michigan Iron Equipment to make sure you get the right parts for what you're trying to do, they're very easy to deal with over the phone.

Thanks Mike, I get catalogs from them, I'll google it up.

I notice they have different strokes and lengths, looks like the most popular is 3" X 8" stroke 22" closed and 30" open cat 2 is that what will work? The hoses that are required for it, what is a good length? I don't have my tractor here to measure it.

Thanks for the help.
