It would be a great application, yet I have never seen one.
I have a hyd coupler which is GREAT, but still often need to deal with hoses and electrical connections.

Some OEMs use them I hear. I had decent results when I made my power SSQA with one. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/321704-linear-actuator-power-ssqa.html
I have most of the parts to build a new one for my new machine. It will be hydraulic this time. I have a 3rd function already plumbed in up there now, so there will be minimal extra cost for hydraulics. Hydraulics will be a bit more durable & faster. But I wouldnt recomend against a linear actuator to anybody. I might have used one again if I didnt have the 3rd function.
The latches on the back are going to be unique to each OEM, unlike the front which conforms to the SSQA standard. So either you need to use the OEM solution or build your own. You might be able to get lucky or modify a different OEM one to fit your machine. The cylinder alone for a Kubota power SSQA is over $800. I got a small cylinder with the proper stroke for $50.

As I noted above, it was over $800 for just the cylinder when I looked. Couple hundred for other brackets, guards & stuff. That didnt even include the control valves. It's an option on the Grand Ls, although I'd guess it might fit on the economy Ls & probably others as well.
Curious to hear if FitRite comes up with a cylinder & brackets before I get around to fabbing something up. Might be worth it, I'm happy with his TnT on my previous & current machine.
