hydraulic top link - is it worth it?

[KiotiJohn]

I can tell you that as many times as I adjust the top link for when I'm doing serious box blade work, it would be worth it, and I'm going to add it.

I have to get on and off many times during the course of fair-sized job as I alternate using rippers, inside rear blade and rear outside blade to do different leveling or digging actions. A top cylinder alone would save me a LOT of work.

With regard to selecting the right top-link length: Keep in mind that if you go to Pat's EZ-Hitch, it'll move the implement about 3" further back from the tractor. Therefore your top-link will have to be longer to get the same results.

After going to Pat's I find that my hyd. toplink is close to full extension most of the time.
