3-Point Hitch Hydraulic top link

[LS Tractor Owner]

WOO-HOO! Finally got a hydraulic toplink and installed it today. Works great! Next will be a hydraulic side link, but that will be a while.... they are crazy expensive!

Awesome! :thumbsup:

Is that from the fella on here who builds them?

(sorry, I forget the guys name. )

Curious about the proportioning or diverter shuttle valve that's on there. Can someone tell me it's purpose. How much was that setup?

 

[workinonit]

Just as a price point, Agri-Supply is where I got mine. It doesn't have that valve setup and I'm struggling to figure out why that's needed. But a Cat II is $176 and the hoses there were about $25 each. I had to get 2 NPT to ORB fittings.

The valves on top are double pilot check valves...they prevent the cylinder rod from moving when there is no fluid flowing in or out...it keeps the top link rigid... A hydraulic top link can be made to do the same without a check valve by disconnecting the hoses from the remotes...

Mine doesn't move. Of course my tractor is new. Why would it move? Leak down?

No, it is from Agristore. With free shipping, I got it in about 4 days. Here is a link:

Not a bad price at all.

Is that the 18 1/8" - 26 3/8", 06003? I see that number in the 2nd picture.

Sorry if I'm hijacking here, but perhaps someone can explain.

Can you do a hydraulic side link with a rigid top link? It seems to me a hydraulic side link would be more useful than a top link (primarily used for road grading).

I only have one free rear remote, so ...

Or, is there a way to get top and tilt with only one valve?
