Here is the toplink. I will try to post more.

Will this work on the BX2200? I Had to cut the screw threads on the one that came with the tractor to be able to shorten it another inch. I am wanting to use the box blade to dig a little deeper with the teeth. I can only get very little of the teeth biting into the ground because the top link is too long. I will go look at their web page if they have one.

How was it to actually use the hyd toplink? I watched the video, but it's always good to hear from someone who's actually used one.

I don't know anything about the bx2200. Although as I pointed out that adapter comes in various lengths. I am confused on what you want to know mikepa. You raise implement open valve to lengthen shaft (toplink) close valve to lock the desired length. Lower implement to ground open valve creep forward this forces shaft closed lock valve in desired length.

Twanger, I was contemplating getting rear hydraulics installed in order to have a hyd toplink (I don't need Tilt) and was wondering whether you think this device is almost as good?

I figure this attachment from Jiffy will cost about $275, ($245 + shipping) versus about $400 ($250 just for the rear hyd parts, plus a cylinder, plus hoses, etc.).

Mike it works pretty slick. You do not have to get of your tractor to adjust the toplink just flip the valve. You can remote mount the valve to the rops if desired. The only thing is it is not powered.

I am thinking of building one of these toplinks. We have been referring to the "accumulator" which is plumbed to the toplink. I think that is the correct term based on what I have read on this website. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.accumulator.co.jp/what.html>http://www.accumulator.co.jp/what.html</A> Can some of you hydraulic types take a look at this website to confirm we are correct.
