Anyone using WR Long Inc top and tilt hydraulic actuators?

[Farmingthefarm]

Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing a top and tilt hydraulic actuator kit for my Bobcat CT2035 Tractor (I already have 2 remotes on the back). I checked out a few companies that sell top and tilts, and WR Long had the fastest reply and best match for the strange Bobcat side link (pic below). I haven't heard of the company before and struggling to find in depth reviews of the kits.
Is anyone using their top and tilt hydraulic kits? How's it been using it?

Really appreciate the info

I just bought a set a few months ago for my Yanmar YM347. Both kits fit like a glove and were easy to install. I have plenty of range of motion and am very pleased at this point. I’ve only done small work with the box blade since, but got lots of road to do on ranch this late winter/early spring. Great folks to work with. It did take a while to get as they were back logged.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question.. But with a hydraulic Top and tilt... Does it stop the implement from free movement upward ? The piece I use most on the 3PH is my grading scraper. It will bounce up if I hit something.. Wouldn't a hydro top eliminate that ?

No. The 3 pt system will still be the same, only difference is how your implement is connected to the 3 pt with the hydraulic cylinders instead of manual adjustment connectors.

WR Long has been building T&T kits for about 2 years now. They build good kits, maybe provide hoses that are a bit long for some applications.

I'm guessing that you are from Australia?
If not, I'm happy to provide a quote.

WR Long is a well-established company. Many dealers use their parts for 3rd functions and the like.

Top and Tilt is one item I am considering for purchase in the next year. Long are among the most expensive.

On most tractors, the 3 point hitch does NOT have any down pressure... There are some but I don't know which models. Also, Draft Control MIGHT help but I don't know much about it, either. But bottom line, Hydraulic topNtilt will not give you down pressure (per-se).

As for W.R. Long, I've had great experience from the company. I lost a bolt from my grapple. I went to the factory in Tarboro, NC and to see if I could buy one, owner looked up the part number - we walked into the factory and he pulled one out of the bins and would not take a dime for it... I tried to pay!!!
