Anyone make a ratcheting wrench for a cat 1 top link?

Not as cheap but easier, if you have aux hyd.

At $166 it’s very cheap. The ratcheting solution that the person was suggesting would cost at least half that, probably more. So getting hydraulic link for an extra $80, especially when you’re not getting younger is a no brainer.

He said he can't afford to add rear hydraulics.... this is the cylinder. Now find the rear hydraulics for his tractor.

This thing is pretty cool, and not too pricey, and I have a spare SCV in the back, so it would be perfect. I'll post a picture once I get it installed.

I just ordered one from John Deere. It is a true Cat 2 cylinder, and the price is about $300.00. I just have to make hoses for it.

My dad is 80 this month and up until a couple years ago he carried 2 five gallon buckets of water every day to his sheep -- about 150' (in the summer he would use a hose and fill up the water trough). after I bought a tractor/backhoe we put in a waterline to his barn. He constantly says, I wish I would have done that 40 years ago. He struggles to even walk now because of this self-inflicted torture (saving money). He was too cheap to put it in and now he's paying for it. Same thing for hauling the manure out. We kids helped each year. Finally this year we convinced him to widen the door for his tractor (that he also finally purchased a couple years ago.

I may be crazy but why wear yourself out just for a toplink adjustment? It's easy, it's cheap, and worth every penny in time, hassle, and wear on your body.

Yeah, I wish I knew about these before. Mine should be here Weds. I'll post a pic once it's installed.

Yes, Deutz gives you remote 3pt control, has for years as some other manufacturers do now, but that is for hooking up implements.

Here’s a ratchet kit that’s made to pin on a top link. View attachment 4302641

Where did you find that? And do they make one for a cat 2 ?

I think larger US brands have had rear 3 point controls for at least a decade and maybe two.

You can’t man handle CAT IV 3 point arms or equipment.
