I bent my top link when I raised the 3ph with my quick attach on and the ROPS down. I called Kubota and they want $160 if I remember correctly any third party recommendation? I own a B2601. Thanks

Measure the length of your top link. If its 16" then you can try Tractor Supply.
I just tried my box blade yesterday and with the 16" I couldnt tilt the box blade to work right so I might need a shorter link. I might need something like the 14-1/2" link. http://www.agrisupply.com/product.a...1&zmap=33358&gclid=CO3iudjiuMcCFQEdaQod06gFiA
Im thinking that the 14-1/2" is what Im suppose to have on my tractor anyway.
Either way you shouldnt have to pay that much for that top link imo.
Good luck.

Try here. Keep in mind that ANY aftermarket top link is going to have to have the tractor end ground down to fit for width. For some unknown reason, Kubota seems to think that the B series and smaller only require a narrower than std cat 1 end. :(

I believe that the 16.9"-25.2" unit would be your best bet.

$40 bucks at tractor supply. I have the original one that came with my tractor and I bought an extra long one for my disk and cutter. I use the shorter one with my grader.

As it turns out the Kubota Dealer had a generic top link for 30 bucks and they were willing to grind it down for me for a perfect fit at no charge. Thanks again MtnViewRanch for the heads up on the size issue.

On the subject of toplinks, putting a new one on, extend it all the way, and coat the threads with never seize compound, and they will never rust freeze...:D
