Thread: Hydrolic Top Link

Pros- Helps make hooking up attachments a little easier.
You can adjust the angle of attachments on the fly to make them work much better. (especially a box blade)
I could lift my brushmower higher, back into heavy brush and drop the mower when clearing my property.
I use my hydraulic top link nearly every time I use the tractor. I wouldn't be without one.

Cons- Other than initial cost to install it there are no cons.

Do you have a spare set of remotes, or are you plumbing in another set.

Like DK wrote, only the cost...the cylinder is $200, plus hoses and QD's=then the remote if you don't already have it. Easy to spend $600 to get it hooked up.

I'll have to plumb in another set of remotes

Or take your loader off each time...

That's what I will do for the mean time.

OK...How many hoses are connected to your loader valve?
Is there a port marked PB with a hose going towards the rear of the tractor?

A new valve is $200, plus hoses and fittings for another $150-$200.

Nothing about hydraulics is cheap except O-rings and my advice!

Yeah I've got dual remotes on the back that the loader hooks onto.
