Can someone tell me what length hyd cylinder I need, or best way to figure? I have a 2019 XG3140... Do I just run my manual adjuster all the way in and take a measurement? Then the same all out?

Thanks for any info.

I doubt that you will be able to match the overall working range of manual link to a hydraulic link.

Get the asked for dimension of the following link and determine for yourself.

Typically a 17"-23" working length works well for your tractor. ;)

I have an XR3135 that I had the dealer install top and tilt on. I’m out of town right now but when I get home tonight/ tomorrow I’ll measure what they put on mine for you.

You set your top link so the implement is in a "normal" position and take a measurement from center of pin to center of pin. Then find a top link cylinder where that measurement falls in the center of it's range of motion which will allow you an equal amount of forward or back tilt with the top link.

In my case the "normal" measurement was 24" so I got this one from Agri Supply. The range was 20" to 28" and it works perfect.

I got my hydraulic top link from Fit Rite. If I did loose any range - it certainly hasn't been noticeable.

FWIW...
The top link cylinder cited above from Agri Supply can be shortened by several inches without losing any of the travel length...i.e., the rod end swivel eye can be cut off and re welded after shortening the rod...there are several inches of rod exposed when the cylinder is fully retracted...

And to further complicate a simple issue, I have two different cylinders. I have a shorter cylinder that I use for my disk.

Here are the two measurements on my XR3135. 15-20 inches
