Would this work for my L3300?

Surplus Center Item Detail

Anybody recomend a certian size or model?

If your going to pay that much for one, get it from Carter and Carter for about the same money. It will be a Cat. 1 (right length and ball ID) like you need instead of Cat. 2. The C&C cylinder also has valves on board to keep it from drifting down.

Your right that is a good deal. Looks like they offer several differant lengths.
What would be the best size for my L3300? I have landscape rake, moldboard plow, disc harrow, box blade, subsoiler, bush hog, tiller.

If you look on their website and open the pdf called:

Top-N-Tilt: Information needed to install
INSTALLATION QUESTIONS PDF

it should answer most of your questions. If you still have some, call them and they will happily help you out. I'm very happy with their top and side link cylinders and their service.

Your tractor uses a Cat. 1 size link. The one that you more than likely will need will be the 18-26.5". Unless you have a Pat's quick change, then you might need the 21-32". I know I had to go to the longer size when I put Pats on. Measure your top link with it at it's shortest length and then fully extended. Compare that to the available link sizes.

Nuthin' but good advice here. I can only 2nd the motion (3rd the motion?) of getting your HTL from CCM.

Ditto the above about Carter and Carter. I just bought one from them for my L3130. $255 delivered with the hoses and quick connects.

Hi Guys,

Quick Q. I'm looking at a hydro top link from CCM as I'm very impressed by all you've had to say about them.

I run a Speeco quick hitch on my JD 4720 and was wondering if that changed the length of TL I should order?? I noticed that the Pat's Quickie unit changed the required length.

Thanks for your help.

You won't need a longer TL with that style QH...Only the Pat's style need the TL longer.

Thanks Kenny.

What is it about the Pat's that requires a longer TL???
