I was wondering if anyone on here owns a bx2200, I'm trying to find out the exact size of the top link, basically need the correct length of the turn buckle body part?

Can you elaborate why the exact measurement is needed? Did one of the ends or the body get damaged somehow?

Many folks have replaced the stock BX top link with a generic one from Tractor Supply or the like. Sizes and lengths can be matched.

The sides of the ball on the tractor side may need to be ground down a bit but there is plenty of metal there that it doesn't make a difference. Usually the replacement is CAT 1 while the OEM is CAT 0 if I recall correctly.

It is completely missing from tractor that I just bought so that is why I was wanting to know the size, Bought one for farm and fleet but wasn't correct size and they really don't have anything that looks right but that is why i need the size .

The link from highcountrybarry looks like the product you want (if you have Prime).

An efficient way to know exactly what you need is to hook up an implement you intend to use and measure the length between the top link holes on the tractor and on the implement.

This is because the tractor / implement configuration may require a special length (or not). Then you can purchase exactly what is needed.

As mentioned before CAT 0 or CAT 1 (with minor modification) should suit your needs.

Thanks Guys for the information, I think I'll order the one from Amazon, looks like other bx2200 owners have purchased and are happy from their commits.
