The one I ducked goes to NT but doesn't really explain how it works, though it shows two hydraulic hose connections.

As in my post #5.
There are NO hydraulic HOSE connections to a "HydrauLink".

I had not seen the Hydralink before - very cool. The biggest issues that I see are the limited adjustment range (4") and no on-the-fly adjustment. However, if the Hydralink will work for the OP, it is definitely the cheaper and simpler way to go especially if he does not already have the rear remotes.

FYI, for my Victory flail mower on the Kioti NX5010C, I need about 29" on the top link to cut my rough pastures to a few inches tall. Most Cat 1 hydraulic top links use cylinders with 8" - 10" throw. I am looking at hydraulic links that go from ~21" to ~31" for my setup.

The HydrauLink would definitely not work for your application.

What about this one?

Category 1 Hydraulic Top Link 20 7/8" - 31 7/8" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EMH0HA/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_2nYcEbT5Q18HC

That is an interesting alternative. I DO have rear remote hydraulics( one ) and a Fit Rite top link. This is such a universally useful addition - surprised this is not a standard feature. My only down side - I waited four years before adding this feature.

Everything about a hydraulic top link is a plus. Particularly as one gets older - the procedure for adjustment of a manual top link get real old, real quick.

The point of a board like this is to discuss things and provide information on how to use items, not to say 'Go Fish'.

Just saying 'Go Fish' kind of defeats the need for discussion boards and help forums. Is anybody willing to explain how this Hydraulink thing works, here, on this board, in detail, without just saying 'go to another site'?
