Does anyone know the correct top link length for a Massey GC2300? I need to replace a missing one on my tractor. Thank you in advance for your help.

The stock adjustable top link on my 2022 GC 1723EB is about 14-1/2" long at its shortest to maybe 22" at its longest.

Looking at my 2008 GC2300 the distance from the 3pt hitch to the top link tractor mount is 18" center to center. Does this sound right?

I can find top links that have center to center lengths from 17.5 to 26 or 28" or shorter ones with 13.5 - 20 inches. Which one would be better, ones that can be adjusted shorter or ones that can be adjusted longer

I should mention that I mainly will use this for a ballast box attachment but also will consider a York rake in the future. I am assuming I want the shorter top link so I can adjust the ballast box slightly forward for better ground clearance when loading on trailer of hilly surfaces. But would I need the longer one so I have more down pressure for the York rake?

I am using an hydraulic top link cylinder from agristoreusa.com: #37299 $289.99 14-3/16 > 18-1/2" on my GC1723EB and it works pretty well. But I wouldn't mind one slightly longer.
