Criag,

Don't want to be a pest but I do want to keep this thread alive.

Any word yet on the toplink?

After reading your post I requested a video through their website. It arrived in no time. One thing I learned from it I thought was an interesting feature. On the self contained toplink you can set it to float. They show an example of it in use. With that feature you can have your bush hog etc. follow the contours of the ground on it's own. This is something a manual twist or to my knowledge a full remote toplink cannot do. Hmmm.....

Hmm is right.

OK TBNers, this seems like a good thing. What are the problems with a floating top link? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

A Floating top link might allow the implement to kick up by pivoting instead of raising straight up. This might only be a problem if the implement is PTO driven.

???????

I have the digital camera and will try to take some pictures of it this weekend. One thing I must say is it is ugly it needs to be painted. It will certainly look bad on my new JD4310. Chief cylinder (red) stainless tubing with weld burns black fluid container that's square and a mint green adapter. Sounds like I will need to paint it. JD green

If you can, take photos from all sides. And does the oil container have a breather hole in it, or is it sealed? What are the lenghs closed and open, pin center to pin center. Thanks for all your effort.

Twanger, just so I'm not confused (which is more than likely /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif) you bought the hyd toplink from Jiffy Hitch Systems and it doesn't look like this picture from their web site?
