will this work for a top link?

Delavan Ag Pumps Hydraulic Cylinder 2 X 8 PML28-112ASAE

I believe the size/price are good...

I have rear remotes - so need the connectors and lines.

Anything else needed?

this one is double the price..similar size/specs. endd are 3/4 not 1" which is probably better, but I'm sure I can find a sleeve to bring 1" down to 3/4 for the cheaper cylinder.

Shure that cylinder will work fine.

But getting those clevis ends to fit and work with typical tractor and implement top link fittings is going to be a bytch!

Your first link will not work. A top link on a 3pt setup needs to have swivel balls on each end as the second link has. A 3 pt hitch moves somewhat (limited) side to side, not just up and down.

A suitable knuckle could be a solution to the tractor end

At that price, why screw around with trying to make fit something not designed to fit.

Edit: Maybe I should look at all the links posted before I post... This is about the same price as the one from Agri Supply.

Oops... Posted a link you already have.

If you google search "top link cylinder" you will come up with other options as well. I would recommend a welded one. It is not serviceable, but I feel that welded cylinders are stronger (I have no proof of this), lighter, and easier to handle.

not too concerned about servicablity, and welded seem smaller overall so that is a definite plus.

Many I find are 250 and up..plus i'll need hoses/connectors. Trying to keep this affordable.

One issue you might encounter with a tie rod cylinder is the square plate on the base end...it may jamb up against the pin brackets ?? Also, the port is at the very end of the base...there may not be enough room for a connector and hose end fitting without interfering with the pin plates where the cylinder attaches to the tractor...!

Not sure what I may run into..new to this, got rear remotes for this specific use, on a disk and box blade for now.

I've got to measure the length..I added lower only quick attach from titan and had to get a longer top link from TSC. Also my kioti only has one mount hole for the top link. Never enough room back there anyway.

Just beware that if anything is in a place to bind...when the 3PH is lifted all the way up with an implement (like a box blade etc.) attached it will shear off whatever is binding (like a hose fitting etc.)...

Be sure to check for clearances with the 3PH in all positions with the tallest implement attached...

Good Luck...
