You still don't get it do you? This is not about Brian. It is about the kits sold by Tractor Innovations. They are simply OTS cylinders.it's not going to fit the tractor side out of the box, the spacing between the ears of where its pinned (speaking for BX, B2601 and LX, I dont know about the larger tractors). It's why Brian cuts the end off and welds new ends on. Particularly the geometry on the side link. He doesn't have a 24 week backlog of work because the stuff is available at the corner hydraulic shop. It sounds like the tractorinnovations is providing a similar service, and that's great.
I don't want to find bushings, install restriction valves to slow the movement, I definitely don't want to weld. I want to pay someone, and when the stuff shows on my door step, I can hook it up and get to work.
But hey, slap some bushings on there you'll be set and save a bunch of money
dude, there is nothing "to get"
take a deep breath and clam down.
That sounds like its going to be a custom cylinder. Picture and length of the OEM you want to replace.
I am not "uncalm". I have no doubt the Tractor Innovation top link cylinders fit "out of the box" but as I said I do doubt they are custom made. The description matches and they look very much like the "off the shelf" cylinders made by Grizzly. The 20x28 cylinder is $150 from AgriSupply. Customer supplies the hoses and tips.dude, there is nothing "to get"
im saying for the smaller tractors there are no "off the shelf" top and tilt links that you can buy and just install onto the machine without doing some amount of fabrication work. It's not about anyone in particular. I've been wrong before, and tractor innovations is new to me so it's great to see someone else able to provide a product that fits out of the box if this is the case.

I had no sooner posted my previous replay when Fedex pulled up with this Magister cylinder that I ordered YESTERDAY. It was $169 dollars delivered.dude, there is nothing "to get"

Something like this and just a small amount of creative work with a welder.
The only thing I would mention is with a 6" stroke cylinder you will be limited on how much you can raise the lift arm from level before you bottom out the cylinder.

I don’t think that monsterous rod end will fit my little B2601, even if the lengths were equal. I know for the smaller compact and subcompact kubota tractors they require a smaller diameter rod end than what is normally available.
That particular cylinder was chosen for an L3901 and is way too big for a B or BX. It will barely pin on to my old B7200. The LX is really a rebadged B so it may be too big for them as well.
Cool, thanks!The only thing I would mention is with a 6" stroke cylinder you will be limited on how much you can raise the lift arm from level before you bottom out the cylinder.
I used a 4" stroke cylinder for the one I made. I also bought a spare fixed side lift rod to cut up to make the ends for the cylinder as it was easier and faster than fabbing up my own. If I were to do it over again I would have gotten the 1.5" bore cylinder as the 2" one I think was overkill. But it did give me more area for welding the brackets on.
LX2610 Hydraulic side link fabrication total cost $271.00
Hydraulic side link fabrication. This was more involved as I could not find a cylinder that was more or less a bolt on option at an affordable price. I ended up modifying a cylinder. As well as buying a spare side link to cut the mounts off of. Total cost for this project was $271.60 plus my...
