Exactly, by far safer (no poisons) and probably faster. Up and down the road every other week and your drive always looks good.
I have 2 of them, a 5-footer for smaller areas and a 7-footer for the main drive. (y) (y)
You will not slow the T&T cylinders down using 1/4" hoses.
Why do you not want flow restrictors?
You should be using 2" dia cylinders for your T&T units, .030 restrictors on each port are perfect for your tractor.
Gannon all the way as long as it is a 7 footer. It is well over 1000lbs. The picture shows a cat 1-2 hitch, so you are good to go. My 6' foot Gannon is right at 1000 lbs.
You need to get a cat 1-2 top link or be prepared to bush down a cat 2 top link.
The tractor end takes a cat 1 (3/4") pin...

I have found that an 18"-26" length typically works well, but that may not be the case for your applications. :unsure:
Regarding the Kubota rear remote valves. Not all of them are unacceptable. It is a hit and miss type of deal. :(
There are people that have what I consider an acceptable leakage rate (less than 1/4" per hour rod extension) and then there are those who have the cylinder rod fully extend on its...
I'm not saying to purchase this unit, but you will not find a better one anywhere IMO.
Just giving you something to compare to. ;)

2" cylinder with a 1 1/4" dia rod is all you need.
I have found that a working length of 20"-29" is ideal.
Look at the following link, get the asked for dimension and find a cat 1 toplink that is close to the asked for dimension at the mid stroke position.
This will provide you with an equal...
I suppose if you feel no need to ever be able to tilt your nimplements forward from basically level, then you will be all set with a 25" collapsed top link.
I can say that I doubt that there is ever a "good" reason to extend an implement angled back so far as that the quick hitch would bind on...
Look at the following link. https://www.fitritehydraulics.com/toplink.html
Based on the asked for dimension, find a unit that has close to the same amount of adjustment in each direction.

Do you have Pat's...
