Adding a hydraulic top link..........?

[Flintknapper]

My Brother recently purchased a used M4800SU that came with factory installed rear hydraulics. We are wondering if this Top Link would work with his tractor?

Anything in particular to be considered when adding a Top Link (other than category of course)?

Thank You in advance for any information. Flint.

Decide on if you want a DPOCV (dual pilot operated check valve) on it or not…BEFORE you order it.

They prevent “drift down” and are a bitch/impossible/PITA to install afterwards.

EDIT; Some people don’t want one cause, you can’t use “float mode” I guess?

You might want to match the center to center distance between the pin holes on the threaded top link when fully extended and retracted.

Yes but you need to verify the retrscted length is correct.

I believe that the ideal length is about 20"-29" for the smaller M series models.
A 2 1/2" dia up to a 3" dia cylinder should be used.

Look at the following link, base the mid stroke of the hydraulic unit on the asked for dimension, plus or minus a fraction of an inch.

I suggest that you get one made by FitRite (aka @MtnViewRanch). Then it will function perfectly on the tractor (assuming you provide all the correct dimensions).
