A hydraulic and manual/standard toplink installed at same time?
I like my hydraulic toplink for box blade, but it is an absolute nightmare for a bush hog - leaks down so fast the bushhog ends up riding on the tailwheel over rough terrain and mangling the fork. So I'd like the hyd toplink in place for times its useful, but for bush hog or tiller that I want to set once and forget, I want the standard kind of manual toplink.
Seems it would be cumbersome to keep swapping them out, but don't really see a way they could both fit without one being in way of other. If they could coexists side by side, that would be sweet!
What would really solve my problem (and no idea if such a device exists) is a hydraulic toplink cylinder that can lock. Set it, then lock it with a set screw or something so it can't move. Would probably just hit the control & break that if it had it....
