Ok, I figured out how to extend my top link, now its perfect. I'm a newbie when it comes to 3 point attachments, this us my first actually. I would love a reversible rear blade to compliment my FEL when moving snow.

Hi Kerton,

I just bought one of the Titan 2" receiver / triangle type attachment. I got it all attached to my L3600 and quickly realized my top link is too short. This causes the receiver to be at the wrong angle (pointing up at approx. 45 degrees) for hooking up a trailer. My top link is not hydraulic like you were planning on doing so I guess my only option is to find a longer top link. Unless someone has a better idea?.?.?.

Thanks,
Shawn

Forgive me if this is too obvious, but you do know that you can adjust the top link by spinning it, right? OK, just checking.

My dealer sent me home with NO top link. One idea I used while I was waiting for the link to get shipped was a 2"x2" pine board, with holes drilled out. It acted as my top link for a couple of weeks. Obviously not as strong as steel, but if you are using just the Titan receiver, all the forces are on the lower 2 arms of the 3ph, the top link just sets the angle, and has plenty of leverage. My 2x2 worked fine with that attachment.

Thanks Kerton... I figured that out... Like I said, this was my first 3pt implement... if you can really even call it that.
