A picture is worth a thousand words, and after seeing the install and quality and remembering how many times I have gotten on and off the tractor to fine tune. this will make things simple.
On question, and this may sound dumb. Currently when I hook up I have the tractor off and adjust the top link to the size needed as I work the top pin in. I also usually have the lower quick adjust links extended too. Once hooked up I raise the unit to get the lower extension to lock home, lower the unit and then re adjust and lock down the top link.
I'm guessing how I need to leave the tractor running to extend or shorten the top link as needed, or can it be pushed in by hand with the tractor off if it is extended? I am a little hesitant to hook up with the tractor running. I'm guessing all other adjustment will be from the seat.:thumbsup: Am I thinking correctly? Depending where I park the attachment, sometimes it is a time consuming process to get the top hooked up

A (related) little easy modification that is nice with a hyd. toplink and is a big aid in attachment hook up is a little lever so that you can actuate your rear remote's from the ground (behind the tractor). I did this to all 3 valves to operate the log winch from the back, it might not be as big of an issue with a smaller tractor that you can reach over the fender to operate the rear remotes. It was pretty simple to do, at least with Kubota's valve arrangement. Yes, those are old sockets for handles:laughing:
