Hydrolic top link for kubota mx5800

[Flynlow3]

Hello,
I have a kubota mx5800 and have changed all my impliments to cat 2 pins. I have a rear remote so would like to change out my top link to make it hydrolic. Which cat 2 top link would be suggested for my tractor and what length? My tractor is at our ranch so I can't go measure the current one that is on it.

Thanks in advance
Jeff

I believe our member here MtnViewRanch is proprietor, and he specializes in Top and Tilt gear.

Agree on Fit Rite, I told him the tractor model M8540, and he sent me the right top-link, great service.

He is a one man shop, and has a long (about 6 weeks) lead time. I felt the wait was worth it with all the good responses and ordered mine and expect it close to Spring.

I typically provide a 2 1/2" dia cylinder with a 1 1/2" dia rod having a working length of 23 1/4"-35 1/4" for the MX tractors.

Need to keep in mind that the tractor end is a cat 1 (3/4") pin and narrower than a std cat 2 end.

There are others out there, you just need to be sure that you get what will work best for you.

The tractor end is CAT 1 and as MtnViewRanch said it is narrower. However, I just cut the ears off the CAT2 base and use a bushing, also cut to length, at the tractor end. The one I put on mine is 23 5/8" - 34 11/16" (11 1/16" stroke) and is still too short for my chipper by about 1/2" so the 12" stroke would be better. I would have preferred MtnViewRanch's top link but I needed it immediately at the time and have learned to deal with the deficiencies. If you use a box blade to rip your closed length really shouldn't be more than mine.
