I would like to add a hydraulic top link on my Kubota L3430. How do I know what length and diameter cylinder to purchase

A 2" diameter cylinder bore (the rod will be about 1" or 1.25") is pretty much standard for a CUT and will work just fine. Anything larger is simply overkill for a top link application. If you want ease of feathering use 1/4" hoses.kubotabilly said:I see that C&C use a 2" dia. cylinder for the top link is this substantial or would you go with a beefier 2.5" dia cylinder??? I also noticed that there is no check valve on the Surplus Center cylinder like the one from C&C has, could one be added???

Thanks for the info. My toplink is 19 1/2" closed and 32" open. Based on those measurements, I will probably get the cylinder with a retracted length of 19 1/2" and a stroke of 12". That should work.
