CHECK VALVE /TUBING KIT FOR AMA TOP-LINK CYLINDERS

Could you use a kit like this ?

I have that very kit in my hand right now, and I don't think so. Don't get me wrong: if I can use that valve, I will use it--but I sort of need everything to show up so I can see it (if you know what I mean) to make the determination.

 

[countrybumpkin]

Yep, I understand. Do you like having the check valve on your toplink , I am going to go ahead and get one. I've heard some people say they find it hard to "feather" the toplink due to the need to over come the pressure against the check valve first before it lets the cylinder move.

To answer your question: absolutely. I've got 1400 pounds bouncing 9 feet behind me with the rotary cutter and quick hitch attached.

My NX6010 factory top link collapsed measurement was 21.25" and extended all the way 29.5" so anything around that range is good.

You can order just about any Cat 2 check valve ram off of ebay for that. Avoid spending too much money unless you find a ram with replaceable ends (and extra ends) because the ball ends peen out if you have something heavy hooked up. Threepoint and I both went to Haytools who gave us a good top link and hoses to boot! If you find a ram with replaceable ends, let me know as my top link is beginning to peen out its non-replaceable ends.

Here is one that'll work: HYDRAULINK CATEGORY 2 TOPLINK

Here is another that'll do too: VFM3005 Hydraulic Top Link Cylinder Cat ll 2 3 Point Fits Several Makes | eBay

Ok thanks.

Did mess with a 5085E a minute yesterday.

What was your reaction time? Smile.

They're cool tractors. Must have been a 2014 or newer.

 

[countrybumpkin]

Yeah, it's a 2014 , I looked at the 55E when I was shopping for my new tractor but the over all size was just a bit bigger than what I wanted.

You must haves been running a sweeper off of the rear remotes.

I came to the same conclusion: the Massey 4000 and Deere 5000 frames were just too big to be winding around trees in the woods.

The left , right of the broom runs off one rear remote, while the broom motor runs off a hydraulic tank and pump off the pto.

In anticipation of chasing up north to continue land clearing before things bloom out making it impossible to see further than two feet, I broke down and purchase a blue-stick Jameson pole saw. I believe the blue stick is the lightest professional pole available and considering I have hundreds of not thousands of trees that need to be trimmed, I could justify the over $200.00 entry price.
