Been thinking about getting one of these but my question is how do you adjust the length of the link to get to align with the implement? With a manual link you just turn it until it aligns. With a hydraulic version how do you adjust it when the remote valve lever is in the tractor? My tractor is a cab model, and there ain't no well in hell my arms are long enough to adjust and attach at the same time!

On my open station(cab model would be similar)M series the valve is located right above the top link mount. So I just grab the lever where the cable attaches to and adjust it standing behind the left tire and hold/align the top link with my other arm.
Could you reach your lever through the rear window?

Sounds like you aren’t running a quick hitch. I run hydraulic top link and side link without a quick hitch on my L, but I don’t have a cab.
Kind of suspect most folks running hydraulic 3 point adjusters on cab tractors also run quick hitches if they hitch without a helper. Seems like it would be a LOT easier with a quick hitch if you can’t reach the valve while standing in the ground at the back of the tractor. Could be wrong. Interested to see what others are doing.

Quick hitch. I'm a bit different having a BX, but similar principle. It makes hooking up SO much easier, no more kicking stuff into place...man I'm glad those days are over...
