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

Just run the lines to the rear.

Low buck 3rd function.

I was trying to figure out why they seem to cost so much and decided to put my own "kit" together. Looks like the tractor in question has ~8gal/min on the circuit I wanted to tie into so I ordered this solenoid I then set it up on the FEL where I wanted it (and would clear the parts welded...

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.

I carry a 14" pipe wrench in my tool box to adjust the top link.
It has a hole through the center, with a 3/8" rod, but the rod is always in the way when unused.

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

This looks like a good option to me

Agreed.

Intial cost felt expensive but now that I have it, it's worth every penny.

I've seen pictures of people using chains.
I have several top links and keep one with each piece of equipment. no need to adjust every time you swap something.
