Just updating my own post - at this point, it looks like I am the only person interested. I spoke with the JD dealer, and there is no real hydraulic top-link option for the 2520. You could re-route the mid SCV to the top link, and basically give up the ability to control a mid mount mower lift, and there is a room for that, but it would be a custom type job.

I'm interested as well and will likely use one of the Eaton Cessna valves to control it and the MMM hydraulics.

I'll either wait until someone else figures it out or I have the time to give it a try myself... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Well I have two problems against me right from the start. a) I have exactly zero experience with hydraulics, and b) I do not have spousal spend authority on the matter.

However, I will find a way to make this happen - maybe not for a while though.

Keep us updated. I would be interested in a hydraulic top link also. I understand then you could have down pressure for the rear implements?? That would be nice!!

Thanks!!

You will have to add a set off rears remotes to get a HTL on your tractor. You are looking at about $600.00 for them, plus another $150.00 to $200.00 for the HTL cylinder.

Click HERE to view my install on a 4110, which is very similar to your 2520

So....How bad do you want a HTL? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
