I measured my CT2025 top link lengths yesterday and it seems to me that it is sized poorly for the tractor. I took the following measurements with 3pt at about 6 because it put lower link level with tractor so I could use it as reference for quick hitch angle (didn’t have flat ground to park on):
Minimum 18 3/4”
Maximum 29 3/4” (approx because no stopper to prevent link coming completely apart)
Quick hitch 90 degrees to ground 22”
From level implement there is only 3 1/4” of travel to tilt top forward and 7 3/4” to tilt it back.
Shouldn’t this be more centred? It’s like the top link was sized for longer lower arms.
The down side is that I can’t get very aggressive with a box blade and looking to the winter I won’t be able to reduce the aggressiveness of a rear angle blade while plowing snow on gravel driving forward.
Anyone have different experiences with this? I’m trying to decide on the length of a hydraulic top link.
