3-Point Hitch top link question

[ncviauk]

I have a BX1800 with a set of pats Quick Connector. My factory top link is just a little short to work the box blade and tiller. I purchased a top link from tractor supply but it is too long. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do next.

Get a hydraulic top link from Brian[mountain view] that should do it.

is the OEM toplink not adjustable?

Yes it is but the add distance is out side the range of the oem top link

They make top links in different lengths. I always measured my old top link and then took the tape measure to TSC to pick the length that I needed.

Take the one you bought back to TSC and get the next shorter size. They should have several different adjustable lengths.
When i first bought my Pats, I had the same problem. Stopped at a Green dealer since I was driving by and priced a longer one. $70 Since I had no idea of how much one should cost I was feeling down BUUUT on up the hwy was a TSC so before paying $70 I thought I'd check at TSC. They had a rack full of them in different adjustable sizes for $19 each.

Just checking Agri-Supply catalog that is laying on my table and it looks like they carry Cat I in body lengths of 13",16", 19", 20" and a special Kubota one of 14.5". This is body length not minimum/maximum adjustment. Measure the two you have and pick one in between. The link MVR sent has about the same sizes but about $10 higher average cost. TSC should have similar sizes available

Try this Tisco JSA1009 it is a replacement for the BX top link for about $20 and I think it is a bit longer Adjusts 13" - 19" overall.
