I want to order a CCM toplink this week and I am unsure of the hose length to order. The rear remote is very close to the toplink area. I have to allow some length for the link to move and also enough for good bend radius, but I don't want to have tons of excess. I would assume it somewhat depends on the hose size and type that CCM supplies.

Anyone done this and have length that works well? Attached are a couple pictures of the toplink area. The remote tubes are just lightly attached for length measurements. I will install the rear remote next weekend.

Thanks!
Jay

I get my hoses made locally for this very reason. Get the cylinder mounted then figure exactly what you need.

I think 36" will be perfect and allow a nice loop with plenty of flex for the full movement of the 3PH throughout its range. Here's a picture of my TC45D with 36" hoses.

Got the CCM Toplink and 30" hoses in today. The hoses look like 1/4" and are pretty flexible. Got 90deg fittings for the QD end also.

I am installing the rear remote, changing the hyd fluid and filter and installing the CCM toplink this weekend....Can't wait!
