543 Auxiliary Attachment Help

[DaveO]

Hello All, I have a Bobcat 543 I am retrofitting a blade/plow to. I need attachment side couplers, hoses and a cylinder/ram. I am hoping to be able to run just one cylinder to get by blade to pivot to the right and left. I am uncertain how the auxiliary system works, it is a two hose system. With the right cylinder will I be able to push and pull the piston? or is it like some plows where I will need two cylinders/rams to work the blade back and forth. Is there a name for one cylinder that can perform 2 actions. Do I need a specific bobcat cylinder. I hope this makes enough sense for some assistance. Thanks DaveO

You should be able to do it with 1 “double acting” cylinder as long as it has enough stroke.
