Lookin' for advice. Am shopping for a HTL for my new 3720, and want to make sure I get the right length. Definitely has to be a Cat 1, there's no room on the tractor bracket to pin a Cat 2.
I thought it would be a simple matter of measuring the OE turnbuckle toplink, but I was wrong. Tried hooking up several of my implements with it, and in doing so extended far more than I'm comfortable with. I'm not new to HTLs, I had a Cat 2 on my previous tractor. It was a hair long, so I'm wanting to do it right the first time on this new 3720.
The OE toplink is 18-3/8" closed (eye to eye). Given what I've seen so far, I know I need at least a 20" HTL. So I guess the question is; should I go to 22", or even 24"? I'm hoping for feedback from some JD3000 series owners that have already been where I'm at now.
