My 2485 does have a spot for a top link as well, also under the BH seat. And one of the pictures (drawing) in the BH manual does show a top link attached. The picture only shows the tractor end so I'm assuming the other end is attached to the BH.
I will plan on contacting Kioti this week and get an answer straight from the horses mouth. I can see how a top link could help with the "flex" issue but certainly don't want to damage the tractor.
While we're on this, does anyone use the kit to return the hydraulic fluid directly to the filler plug? And if so, does it make a significant difference in the speed or power of the backhoe? Just curious.
