I would like to share my excellent experience with FitRite Hydraulics (aka Brian Scudder).
I have a 2006 Kioti DK45s. It is awesome but that model had a short production run so it is not the most common tractor out there. Making accessories for my tractor is something of an experiment unless the builder has access to a similar tractor. So I sent measurements and photos for Fitite for them to work from. But I think FitRite already has proven designs for the more-common tractors.
When I started using a box blade I realized how a hydraulic top link would save massive time/work (climbing up and down to adjust). I ordered one from FitRite and it was great until I broke off the eye at the tractor end while screwing around with different mountings. Fit rite fixed it for free with a redesigned eye that could not interfere in any position. Then I ordered a tilt cylinder to expedite crowning and sloping trails. The cylinder was great and FitRite provided additional hydraulic fittings to achieve the best hose routing. I subsequently bought and installed a FitRite diverter kit for my grapple and it is great too. FitRite stuff is first rate IMO and the prices were better than competitive (and I am descended from Scotsmen).
Last summer, the tilt cylinder developed a very slow leak under load. That cylinder must be 10 years old, at least. I contacted FitRite (not expecting good news) and he offered to fix it free if I would ship it to him. He fixed it and repainted it, in less time than the shipping.
The bottom line is I can't say enough good about FitRite Hydraulics. I have no connection except as a customer.
