I bought a top n tilt set up the other day. The hyd. cylinder that causes the blade to angle, say for cutting a ditch or something, is too long. However it is the shortest one made. The part of the cylinder that attaches to the lower 3pt arm( I am not sure of the name of this "part", so I took a picture), has plenty of room to drill some holes to make it the right length. My question is this. Should I drill the hole so that the 3pt arms are level when the cylinder is at its shortest stroke length, or drill it where the 3pt arms are level when the cylinder is at the exact middle of its stroke length.
The way I see it, if I drill the hole where the 3pt arms are level at the cylinders shortest stoke length, I will only be able to angle the blade one way, but I will be able to angle it twice as far as I could if I drill the hole where the 3pt arms are level in the middle of the cylinders stroke length, which would give me the ability to angle the blade both ways.
