Electric Actuators

[edale]

Anyone out there using electric actuators for things like 3 points or sleeve hitches? How about an electric front-end loader. I found this site that sells them for pretty cheap. Some have 400lbs of force, enough for the above applications I would think.

Everett - I use one on the front of my 1882 for a blade lift. As for a loader ... NOPE !
If you take the 400 pound limit you mention and use it for a loader that would be 800# for a 2 arm loader BUT then figure the bucket is way out further multiplying the force against the actuators.
I've got a pic somewhere of a loader with them , so does Charlie as he showed it to me. Maybe one of us it run across it and post it for you to see it. Looks goofy !

Oh by the way , What's this to do with MTD Cubs ?

Another thing those would be slow and a big drain on the battery for loader use.
