    Syil X4 Pneumatic Drawbar

    Greetings,

    I convinced Syil Canada (Keith) to allow me to complete the Syil X4 Pneumatic Drawbar project. Keith designed and built 5 kits before he shelf the project. I got one working and 4 other kits available. What a great upgrade!

    That is a very neat looking setup. What is the price of this?
    Would love to fit something like this to my X4+

    power draw bar kit = $550
    pan cake Cylinder (you order, I have part number) = $175 (full retail)
    1/2 Aluminum scrap = CHEAP
    3/8 ready rod = $10.00
    2 way 5 port switch (you order, I have sample part number) = $25.00
    Air lines and fittings (you supply)
    1/4 / 20 bolts (you supply)
    set screws (you supply)
    one spring pin

    I have all pictures of the process. You have to fabricate the install brackets yourself, as I did not make any drawings. Very simple fabrication, took me couple evenings to complete.

    If you get the pan cake cylinder off ebay and switch you can build this cheaper than full retail around 700 cnd all in.

    Greetings, See picture that indicates IN KIT. You get that machined part and the machined insert with the 5 belleville washers. You have to build the brackets, purchase the cylinder, rod and button.
