I've been waiting for the SCUT version also. They still have never come back and updated their sticky thread, so I assumed they just never did make one for the SCUT.

Eh... Well, I can't rightly remember what model I ordered??I know it works fine on my BX-25 running Land Pride implements. Got a 4' Box and Plane (model numbers in the sig block) and also have a just calibrated FIMCO 40gal sprayer that it works with too.
Make ya a deal... If you can sit tight for a couple of days, I'll get you the model number I'm using and some pics of it compressed and extended so you can get a good idea of the range of motion it will support. More to follow...
Appreciate it Eagle. I'd be more interested in the minimum and maximum lengths than model number. Last I checked they only made one version for Cat 1 hitches and were working on a Cat 2 version as well as a SCUT version.
For anyone interested in reading up on it, here's the lengthy thread on it. If you cut through all the BS on whether they advertised or named it correctly, it's not so bad. At one time they were an official advertiser but are MIA now.

Ron,
The chains to a solid unit was addressed in this thread;
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/.../212135-pics-my-bx-telescopic-stabilizer.html
A nice aftermarket unit I thought about after breaking my welds on turnbuckle from backblading in reverse. Tremendous force on them when doing this so a solid link was the answer. Then I thought where would the next weak link be. I do not backblade in reverse other than snow now.

Artisan & CHDinCT,
Took some photos this weekend, along with some measurements... I never could find the model number for my Hydraulink, my order is buried in an email someplace and I filed it away and now I can't find it?!?! Sorry for that...
Anyway, enclosed are some pics of my setup... First pic is the 'Link itself. I zoomed in on the pic, but this is in the fully compressed position. I've got just two or three threads showing past the lock nut on the adjustable end and it measures 19" center pin to center pin. 2nd photo shows the orientation of my Plane in that position.
3rd pic is showing the HydrauLink all the way extended. Center pin to center pin measurement in that position is 25". The last pic shows what an extreme angle that puts the Plane on. 'Course, it's unusable in that position but the point I'm trying to make is that to get it in that position, I opened the valve on the 'Link and raised up the 3pt hitch and then closed the valve. Simple...
Hopefully this will give you gents an idea of the range of motion the HydrauLink will support. I got mine from Greenwell when I ordered a set of Pat's Easy Change QD's.

Thank You for the pics...
It explains it well. Now how about some good pics of that land plane
and PATS stuff!
It kinda looks a little to long. I wonder if you could make an extension to
the rear top link bracket, not the hydralink but the receiver for it at the
rear. That would give you more usable range of motion yes?

Welcome Sir!
No photos of the Plane or Pat's gear handy, but if you are looking for something specific let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.When you say "too long", I guess I can see your point, but why would you want it shorter?? If the toplink was shorter, then you'd have the "nose" of the implement angling down... What kind of implement would you use that way?? Both my Plane and Box Blade wouldn't work nose-down, that's why I'm asking...
What I do not know about 3 point implements and attachments will
fill volumns and volumns... Having said that;
I simply look at it and see it is all one way, one angle. An auger or a
boom or a subsoiler where you do not want an agressive angle, a
carryall, a pond digger, back blade, all could benefit from the ability to angle to AND fro, for lack of better words I thunk...
Also I look at your profile and when it is totally compressed you still have
a bit of a rearwards angle yes? I would think you would want that land plane level at times, maybe it settles down to level when you plop it earthwards...

Hey, I hear ya on that! :laughing: Still learning myself... And you've got some valid points there, all I can speak to is the Plane and Box Blade. I don't have any other implements other than a 40gal boom sprayer and the 'Link works fine with it too.
That photo is a bit misleading, the ground falls away where I had the Plane parked. If you look at the profile when it's on the concrete floor in the shop the Plane shoes are flat on the ground.

Thanks Eagle. One difference I see is you use yours with a Pat's quick hitch which probably adds 3" to where the implement sits relative to the tractor. I do think without that the current Hydraulink would be too long for sure. If I knew they were going to offer a shorter version, I'd wait for it, but it looks like I'll probably add a 2 spool valve that hooks into the BH ports. Oh, love that grader blade by the way.
