Revolution SS Hydraulic Top Link: Fine-Tuning Post Contour on a Skid Steer

A movable tower, four mounting positions, a handle pin and up to 57° of hydraulic angle — this is how the top link on the Revolution Telescopic SS sets post contour without moving the machine.

In this video you'll see where the top link mounts and why the tower moves. Four bolt-up positions, held by a handle pin, so it lifts out and relocates without tools. Where you mount it sets the range of angle you're working within.

You'll also see what the hydraulics buy you on a skid steer. Drive the machine into wherever the ground and the access allow — the spot that suits the skid steer, not the spot that suits the post — then lower the mast and dial the contour in at the top link. You're driving exactly where you want the post to sit, without reversing and re-lining up.

And one detail worth knowing if you run both mounts: the top link ram on a skid steer is roughly 200 mm / 7.87" shorter than the tractor ram. Swapping the SS between machines means changing the mounting plate and the ram — a few minutes' work.

The Telescopic SS is a side-mount post rammer with 970 mm of side shift, a mast extending to 5.4 m, and 11 tonnes of pulling power. Designed by fencing contractor Tony White. Made in New Zealand.
