HydrauLink- a self-contained air over hydraulic top link

[djradz]

After seeing the video, I can assure you the "cusion" effect of the HydrauLink is not enough to take the place of a floating top link in the case of bush hogging. You will still need to use your floating mechanism. While the floating top link mechanism (I say mechanism because some use a chain instead of the factory float) is in use, there is probably not enough force on the HydrauLink to cause it is "cusion".

I'm not real sure what purpose the "cusion" serves. It isn't enough to really do anything.

Yes, I agree that the cushion effect is not adequate to take the place of a floating top link. I did not mean to imply that. Instead, what I was saying is that folks were claiming the need for a rigid connection (apparently in all cases) and I was arguing that such is often not necessary or maybe even desireable. The floating top link was just one example of such a case/

Even with a floating top link however, like the small one on my RFM, it sometimes is bottomed/topped-out and so a little cushion (and thus more flexibility) would still be advantageous.

Interesting concept. Defiantly has some place for some users.
Like any implement, part or modification- it may work for some and not others, each of us has to research and experiment to find the most appropriate set up for our needs.

One thing I am not clear on- how can anyone "assure" that something will or will not work based on viewing a video or reading a product description. I am fairly confident that many hours were spent on R/D on this product before being marketed. Not sure anyone can make such a definitive statement like that.

I appreciate the educated information provided by TBN members. Unfortunate at times when some embark on what appears to be a personal crusade.........

"Defiantly" ? Hmmmm.

It is POSSIBLE to evaluate many things quite superficially and form opinions on how well they work, how exaggerated the ad copy claims probably are, etc.
Patent office employees do it, venture capitalists do it, engineering managers do it, purchasing managers do it.
MANY OF US have to do it to protect our employers, our businesses, our jobs.
If nobody did it there would be even more junk produced, even more companies producing crap and rapidly going out of business.

Now, can I interest you in my new and improved perpetual motion machine ?
This one is DIFFERENT, it really will work.
How about cold fusion ?
or my "clean up the spill" device ?
Ahh, but you think I am being frivolous - maybe, maybe not.

Last I knew We had not started spell checking other members on TBN.......

That being said, how do you account for not one person who has purchased one of these units complaining that they did not like it or that it did not perform to the level that the vendor has claimed it would.

I swear some of you guys are worse than (Im sorry gals) little old ladies

It isn't about spell checking, it is about communicating CLEARLY using the intended words - or not.

WRT your other "point" (if it is one).
I don't have to "account for" no complaints.
I haven't seen the data on how many TBN readers have in fact bought them, or how many are suffering buyers remorse (to the point of shame) and aren't coming forward.
IOW - no data.

Yeah, I didn't understand your need for sexism or age'ism either - mayhap you could work on that ?

I guesss if you did not get the analogy, mayhaps you arent as smart as you think you are..... Just a thought

I'm not talking about this product but in general I'm pretty sure that there is a unspoken rule here that if you don't like/had a bad experience with something you bought your not supposed to say anything because it might damage the company's image.

unspoken rule here

They could write a book. :shocked:

Ooops.... So I made an error.
If that is what you need to open up a reply to someones statement then...well..I'm taking my toys and going home!!!

Give me a break. If you have something intelligent to say, say it. I have known many people who are very intelligent and skilled in mechanics- that cannot read or write. No need to bring spelling or grammar into these discussions.

Communication is not based on exact spelling. The brain processes the information based on only part of the written word and interprets what word it is. There is a very interesting paragraph written incorrectly that demonstrates this.

As for the unwritten rule, I believe the intent is for members to leave specific names of dealers off the forum when complaining- to prevent civil liability and such.

Seems like some personal crusades extend beyond the forum...
