I got a hydraulic top link for the 3pt hitch and now I am having a difficult time finding a good solution for the side link for tilting the 3pt

Wondering if anyone has already solved this?

I have been to tractor supply, and searched agristore.com

Thanks for any help.

For a side link look on A and I ag parts. Only place I could find one.

I ended up going with agristore.com and modifying the cylinder to our set up

So they had something that matches? :unsure:
For the OP, your current hyd top link is a bit on the small side for the capabilities of your tractor.
The hitch has lift capabilities in excess of 6600lbs, you should really have a 3" dia cylinder IMO.

Good luck with what you have. ;)

I used the Fit Rite Hydraulics. I figured for cylinder size and to have the factory style slotted end it was a easy pick. Pin on and go.

FitRite is an awesome way to go for sure, I don’t want to wait or spend that much.

The route I went works for light duty implements we use.
Thanks for posting all your options for others to see and also something for me to upgrade too if need be.

Yeah the wait was the only down side. I ordered last fall so I got my kit in the spring. One thing I liked was no check valve but flow restrictors. I like to use them in float sometimes.
