Does anyone know if there is a hydraulic top link out there specific for the M5-111? I believe these tractors have a cat 1 on the tractor side and cat 2 on the implement side so is this really a cat 2 hitch? Back on topic does anyone know if there is a hydraulic top link that is cat 1 on one end and cat 2 on the other end? Would also like a bit more travel min and Max then the OEM stock manual top link has any suggestions?
M5-111 hydraulic top link with additional travel over OEM?

The brochure for the 5m-111 says it is a CAT II 3 point hitch. It should be 1 inch in diameter for the tractor side of the top link. A CAT I top link pin is 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
These people should have what you will need for a top link. Measure how short and how long you want the top link to be and check out their supply.

Pretty sure these have a 3/4" pin at the tractor side. So it's an oddball cat 2

This is also the way the m6’s are. (At thwart my 7060) I got a cat 2 top link from Princess auto recently and used a bushing in the tractor end. A 10” stroke is about the same as the manual link. I don’t think you’ll get one that is both shorter and longer.

Just for giggles I looked up the pin on Messick's to see if it would give the size. Boy are they proud of them. $40 plus shipping but no size given.
I found these on eBay
I found a unit made in turkey. Shipped from apeldoorn, NL
Cat 2, 3" cylinder 1.38" rod
22.5"-33.5"
Locking block and includes all hardware
This one here has a replaceable ball "hook" end and it's 23.6" to 34.6" stroke
