Linear Actuators

Recommended Posts

tdearstine

Has anyone tried to use these Linear Actuators ? I saw them while browsing thru my Northern Tool catalog, they have 3 different sizes, just wondering if they might hold up to raising a grader or plow or maybe for a side to side adjuster, they are on page 105 or look up 125010, 125011,125012on northerntool.com, any thoughts?

Yes, these can be very useful.

In fact they are sometimes used for Clevis Hitch lifts (there is a thread about the Johnny Products clevis hitch on this board).

I am currently experimenting with using the much cheaper (due to volume) Actuators that are made for use with satellite dishes.

For more on that see my thread here:

Incidentally, regarding the above, I have purchased the actuator and will be doing tests fairly soon, so stay tuned.

i saw them in the catalouge and got an evil idea to use at least one to help in building a 3 point hitch without the need of hydraulics off the rear of my GT-14 since i cant seem to find any readily near by ones for my tractor
