Well stated Jim wish I could write like that....
Ok, I'm no old hand when it comes to tractors, but I have NEVER had an easy time with a screwjack. Mine fought me every step of the way when it came to adjusting or installing the awful thing. I was all too happy to hang it up in the shed when I bought this. I keep it incase something goes wrong but I havent needed it yet. My biggest gripe with hydralink was the price but I'm using the heck out it and gettin my moneys worth.
Is there any reason that an average individual could not make up a similar unit using a hyd cyl filled with fluid and an air space, and then couple the two ports together with a needle valve in the middle, and essentially do the same thing. Parts maybe about $120, or use a spare cyl you might have laying around. A swivel eye cyl would work well.

I suppose you could do this....but then not as neatly and in a tried and true design as these guys have done it.
I say....give em a break!! It's an intresting new concept and would work quite nicely for those guys that dont have hydraulics at the back of thier tractor to operate a cylinder. There are many times I could wish for such a top link. :thumbsup:
I do agree on the mis-read of their advertising....but if it were my product I would be tempted to do the same thing. :laughing:
