Hydraulic top link assembly for CK20

Hydraulic Top Link Assembly CK20

During winter time I use a lot my box blade. I have to get off each time I need to adjust the angle. Is there an option to replace the manuel top link with a hydraulic one. It for a 2015 CK20, I already have 2 set of valve available at the rear.

Many thanks for your input!

Remove your current (manual) top link and measure it both fully retracted and extended...use the measurements to search the typical suppliers for the closest match...hose sets (with restrictors) may be available...you will need compatible quick disconnect connectors to match your rear remotes...

The hydraulic top link makes a box blade MUCH more usable. Not only can you tweak the angle on the fly but you can quickly go between forward and reverse. Being able to push backwards without turning around is like day and night. I also found hydraulic tilt very useful to grade cross slope for drainage so the dirt roads don't turn to mud. I got mine cylinders and hoses from Fit Rite and I can recommend them too.

I've got one on my Ck20 - I can measure it tomorrow. And yes, I couldn't imagine being without it. Snowblower, blade, forks to name a few things I've got that are transformed having a hydraulic toplink.

Measured my hydraulic top-link - measuring from the center of the eye to the center of the eye it's approx. 18 inches retracted to 26.5 inches extended.
Perfect size for the Ck20.

I have one on my ck2510 and couldn’t be more happy. I love it. I bought mine from Fit Rite Hydraulics

Can the hydraulic top link hook into the backhoe valves mounted on the tractor?

 

[Everhard]

Depends on how your backhoe is hooked up to the tractor - if the backhoe uses a set of your regular rear remotes then yes but if you've got a dedicated connection I would think not? I've not had personal experience with those but my understanding is they are essentially a power beyond connection so they plumb hi pressure in/out and a low pressure return - is there even a control valve to allow the flow to reverse direction on the high pressure lines?

I only have experience with the mechanical top links and can't help but wonder how people go about hooking a hydraulic top link to an implement. Reason being that I always find myself holding the top link in place as I lengthen/shorten it to line the holes up. How do people do this with a hydraulic top link? Seems I'd end up pinching my fingers!
