Mike,
I haven't got to them yet between work and the holidays.
I plan to begin working on them very soon, I did recently get some forward facing lights on the ROPS.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Does the top n tilt help a lot with snow removal? )</font>

When I angle my backblade I use the tilt cylinder to level the blade for snow plowing which is better than cranking it level by hand.
But for most attachments I use the hydraulic top link far more than the tilt.

Mike,
I highly recommend the hydraulic top link. I use it a lot on several differant attachments.
I used a 2 1/2" x 8" tie rod cylinder from Tractor Supply, cut off the ends and welded ends on from a bent top link I had laying around.
Cylinder, hoses and quick couplers were under $120.
