Thinking about HTL for my MX5100. Dealer says my original top link is cat1 at tractor and cat2 at other end. I need cat2 for implement hook up. Dealer can't get HTL with that makeup. Any suggestions? He thinks cat2 will not fit at tractor end but I haven't checked yet. Custom may be the way to go. Thanks for any input.

Check another dealer, my5740 has OEM TnT with Cat 1 or Cat 2 at the tractor end, also contact Brian at Fit Rite: http://fitritehydraulics.com/
Thanks for the help! Dealer just quoted a top and tilt with all hoses,etc. for just under $800. Not sure of difference between this and regular HTL. I like the Fit Rite price of $290 I will check out my tractor tonite and go from there.

I bought OEM TnT on my L5740 with their cylinders as I got a really good deal on them buying at the time of purchase, sounds like you are too.
I later bought an HTL from Brian at Fit Rite for our M8540 and his cylinder is as good as Kubota's and was cheaper than if I had gotten it from my dealer. You might want to do a price check between the two.
You can go with OEM rear remotes then get cylinders from Brian, both are good, side link is very easy to install and move your manually adjustable side link to the left side.
