I'm lucky that I can adjust my top link from the seat by reaching around back. I know where the max angle is, and set the stop nut there. Then at the end, to lessen the angle of attack for smoothing, back off from the nut by a certain amount (eyeball it). Over time, I bet you'll know where/how to set it by eye.
I could probably reach the top link from the seat if I raised the implement, but the weight of the blade is enough that it requires some muscle to turn the link. I have found that there is a sweet spot where the box blade is perfectly balanced, and I can easily turn the link. I raise or lower the lift arms until I see the tension come off the top link retainer pin, then adjust the link until it gets tight again. Move the arms. Adjust the link. That way I'm not wearing out my forearms torqueing at the link.
