Overview
A deep-dive installation walkthrough of Summit Hydraulics' top-and-tilt kit on a 1025R, with honest critique throughout, noting the missing check valve, the limited two-inch stroke on the subcompact cylinder, hose routing headaches, and speed-control fixes using flow restrictors. The creator also compares the 1025R kit to larger 2R/3R systems and names the only two known suppliers. Best for owners seriously considering buying and installing this kit.
