Lift for front of Kubota RTV

[RSI]

I am working on a lift for the front of my Kubota RTV. I started it a couple years ago for lifting a plow but then we didn't get much snow that year so I didn't have to get it done. Then got the Toolcat so don't really need the plow on the RTV anymore.
I made a mount for the front of the RTV with ears for connecting a plow and a 2" hitch receiver for the lift.

I had lost one of the pieces of steel I cut for the lift and didn't do anything since. I am trying to get it working so I can use the broom the get gravel off the lawn. Hopefully I can get it working before the grass is grown up too much.

I got it welded up today and now need to pickup pins and hoses.

Hopefully it works out somewhat decent. The hydraulic connections are all the way at the back. I need to string lines up to the front. I got an electric selector valve that I am planning on adding so can lift and turn the plow. I will skip that for now since the broom only needs the lift.

I would prefer to use metal line but will probably just run hoses since it will be quicker and easier to get.

Looks like this project will not be completed any time soon. I was having trouble finding the correct fittings locally for the hydraulics. I need to run lines all the way from the back to the front.

I just cobbled the broom together and used the winch to lift it.

I think I will move on to fixing the broken brush mower. Gearbox gears stripped. Going to have to pull it and see if I can find something that can replace it. It is around $700 for one from Bradco.
