I've got a pretty basic question, but hydraulic top links are pretty rare in England for compact tractors, so I can't go to a dealer and have a play with one!
I'd like to install one of these on my new Kubota L4240, but can't get my head around connecting implements with the hydraulic top link. Say I have a mower on the tractor and I need to take that off to put a box blade on, the length of the top link has to be adjusted, otherwise I can't get the pin in. On a standard top link, you just turn the screw to adjust. With a hydraulic one, do I need to get back into the cab and adjust the link length (and repeat until I get it just right!). Or is there another way on the top link itself? If there isn't, it seems like connecting up implements is going to take a lot longer than with a standard top link.
