Shortest hydraulic top link

[dwalk19]

It's the box blade, not the tractor. Move top hookup back so it is straight up and down with the box blade. You can go back even back past center. The blade looks like it might have the holes there to do just that.

Are you saying top hook on the quick hitch, move that back, if so i think it may hit the box blade frame, i had to extend/weld it out further because i was having that problem with most of my implements

No the box blade, the top hookup is leaning fwd. Move the kickers back.

Ok i think that is ehat i started to do i was going to drill new holes so the diagonal supports would be mounted back almost to the rear plate

Sorry for all the pics but here's my set up, i've tried moving tractor end of top link in either hole, current hole is best i believe, i may buy shorter top link and still cut it shorter, just seems like i can't get enough pitch forward, and have way more than i would ever need going back(extending), i started drilling holes in box blade to move diagonal suports back further to create down pitch, but started thinking i shouldn't have to do thatView attachment 572224View attachment 572225View attachment 572226View attachment 572227View attachment 572228

After seeing the pictures and now knowing that we are not talking about the 2538 Mahindra that you have listed, but an LS tractor, you need a 17"-23" unit.

That is what I provide for the LS (R & XR) models. No complaints as of yet.

Heres another pic with brush hog on and no quick hitch, seems like i remember the back wheel being higher up with my other tractors, could that also be because top link is to long

Most likely.

Looks like you could get a couple of inches by cutting both ends of the cylinder a bit. You still have room to do this if you can get a good weld on the cylinder ends.
