Worth the wait! This hydraulic top link far exceeded my expectations, it's a lovely piece of work. I'll let the pictures do all the talking.

You will be amazed with versatility of the top link.

You'll be equally amazed at how well a side link helps...

I have the same top link from Fitrite for my Kubota M6040. Bought two years ago - $395.

I totally understand the money obstacle in tractor additions like TnT. And I would never pressure anyone to spend that money uncomfortably.

With that said, in my case, it's frequency of use is only second to 3rd function on the FEL. And that is certainly open for debate.

Congrats on the addition.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and after seeing the install and quality and remembering how many times I have gotten on and off the tractor to fine tune. this will make things simple.

On question, and this may sound dumb. Currently when I hook up I have the tractor off and adjust the top link to the size needed as I work the top pin in. I also usually have the lower quick adjust links extended too. Once hooked up I raise the unit to get the lower extension to lock home, lower the unit and then re adjust and lock down the top link.

I'm guessing how I need to leave the tractor running to extend or shorten the top link as needed, or can it be pushed in by hand with the tractor off if it is extended? I am a little hesitant to hook up with the tractor running. I'm guessing all other adjustment will be from the seat.:thumbsup: Am I thinking correctly? Depending where I park the attachment, sometimes it is a time consuming process to get the top hooked up

You might be able to extend the cylinder, leave the lever in the "float" position if you have that function, then shut the tractor off and retract the cylinder by hand?? Depending on how strong you are.
