LOL...ROTFLMAO!! I see im not the only one to scream when I priced a new toplink for my B3030. I had bent the rod end shank ( I know..I know...lol). I call and the guy tells me $212 and it cant be removed..??...to replace the rod end..( LMAO) I told him..Yeah..RIGHT!! ( some dude in Japan put it together..Im ****** sure I can get it apart!!) I didnt even have to do that. Took it to my farm buddy an he straightened the threaded end for me..and it works fine.
! bought a spare "Hong Kongs Best" for $19.95 and its every bit as good..
Seems liek a lot of tracter guys have MANY toplinks..? Adjust for a particular impliment and then leave it WITH that impliment..so the more impliments..the more toplinks...BUT...after the first time...no time spent in adjusting any of them. I plan to pick up another from TSC ( looks like the same identical spare I already have) jjust to have around

If anyone has a BX and is looking for replacement top link this thread will help. The top link for a BX is $115.44 from Kubota. The one below was $20 and works as good or better then the $115 version!

Well a nice guy on the site is selling me his toplink for $40 including shipping. He said he switched his out for a larger one years ago and it has been just sitting collecting dust for several years now.
At least I'm not paying too much of a premium for it being gray that way. I kind of like the idea of having a toplink set for different pieces of equipment though.
I still don't understand why the OEM toplinks are so much more expensive. Most of the other parts don't seem that far out of line but I guess maybe they are.
