HydrauLink- a self-contained air over hydraulic top link

Sorry for the delay. Yes, absolutely. I'll add you to the contact list for the category 0. My suggestion for anyone wanting to be added to the category 0 waiting list, send an email with contact info to sales@hydraulink.net . That goes directly to our primary distributor, sales team and our corporate president.

Just so you all know, the new category II units are due in next week! We've already got a waiting list for them so if you're looking for one, email us at sales@hydraulink.net . You'll be directed you to dealers who will be stocking them.

Take a look!
We just got our new prototype in for the SCUT tractors... TBN-ers are the first ones to get a look at it. Sorry the picture quality isn't as good as usual.

Cool. Any way you could take some measurements for min/max lengths? Really hoping this will work for me and be in stores by the fall. Thanks for the update.

Can you all tell me what length requirements your various SCUTS need and if you are using a quick hitch or not? It'll help us determine what screw length's are in demand.
The screw on this prototype is very short to meet the needs of smaller tractors but an extended screw for it would close the gap between it and the category I that we have.

Just saw your request when I sat down tonight. I will get you my measurements first thing tomorrow. Don't presently use a quick hitch of any sort.

OK, sorry for the delay. My day didn't go as planned but we all now how that is :laughing: Anyway, the top link on my BX measures 14" closed and 20" full out pin center to pin center. If I could design my own however, I'd give up one or two inches on the short side for more extension. And again, I don't use a quick hitch. Hope that helps.

When will we see the 25% price reduction? I can't find them any where for 25% off. Reg. Price was $249.99 at 25% off that would make them $187.50 Where can I get one for $187.50?

Our price reduction already kicked in through the supply chain. I know that Tractor Supply Company is selling HydrauLink (category I) at $199 now, bringing it down to a 20% discount for you. Sorry it hasn't reached that $187 mark yet but we're getting closer. We aren't able to dictate to our dealers what to sell them for BUT good ole competition should drive it down.

Thanks for the info. So, you'd rather see one go down to about 12"? How often do you need it at the full 20"? I ask because our protoype is fully functional but a little on the short side. We may need to change it to be useful to a wider range of tractors. Still too early to tell though. We're working on it.
