Kubota is at least March before they can ship the Top -n- Tilt kits. So, I am looking for aftermarket options for my MX5200. There are plenty of people that sell cylinders, but you need to know the stroke length of the cylinder in order to get the right one. I don't know the stroke lengths because I've never had them on the tractor before so it's kind of hard to figure out what to get. I was hoping there's an aftermarket company that you can tell them the model of your tractor and they can sell you what you need. Any help would be appreciated.

You also can measure your existing links. The ideal would be to have a cylinder that is at least 4" of stroke and the compressed length is 2" shorter and the extended length is 2" longer than your existing link.

I'll chime in and second other's recommendations. If there is any way you be patient and wait on a FitRite kit, it's worth the wait.
