$100 Hydraulic Top Link

[MtnViewRanch]

Brian, to say nothing of (1) your knowledge of particular tractor brand and model issues (2) your personal service before and after the sale, and (3) your willingness to share your expertise with folks who may not even have ordered from you. I'm a case in point. You helped me with the right flow restrictors and couplers even though I'd sourced my top and side links from two different vendors. I'm not surprised that your business has grown so much.

Thanks, I have no problem simply helping out someone. Unfortunately, (or for me fortunately) I simply do not have the time to do so as often as I use to.

Brian, you simply need to do away with everything else that takes time out of your life. Eating, sleeping etc.

I first bought a hydraulic top link, from Brian, for a Kubota B2710 about 4+ years ago, to make a box blade work better. I’ve since bought two more TnT sets for LS XR4046HC and LS XR4155HC, and an angle cylinder for my LP 96” rear blade, from Brian and happy as can be with all of them.

Hope the OP will see the “value” in buying an engineered, proven, system over trying to design something that he may not really understand. No offense intended. It takes just a few mis-steps to jack your costs beyond what you can buy as a “complete solution”.

Sermon over.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. The parts arrived and the install was straight forward. There is a restriction orifice built into the link so adding one is unnecessary. The range is great and movement is slow and steady. I attached the parts list below. $181.29 shipped.

I feel like a VICTIM of The old BAIT AND SWITCH, I want the "Advertised" One Hundred Dollar One! lol

Lol. My apologies. The grand total was $181 but the hydraulic cylinder was only $99. The rest of the cost was for hoses and fittings.

Yes Sir...same Grizzly cylinder and total of $179 so I beat you by a couple bucks. So far it works just fine and for a 10 minute install it's time well spent. I have my box scraper on the back now and it is really nice to sit in the warm cab and adjust angles of attack for the box. I've wanted one of these suckers for 20 years...can't believe I waited so long.

If you have two remotes add a tilt cylinder. It's more valuable than the top cylinder when using a box blade.

Roger that Ovr! I do have an unused lever and empty QD's and that's on my mind for the next addition. I do need to cut a couple ditches when the ground thaws. Forgot to mention but I also got new wiper blades...old ones were just smearing the snain.
