You might want to mention what kind of implement you are trying to attach and which model Kubota tractor you have.

I don't understand the problem..Installing the top link pin onto an implement is the only easy part about hooking up a 3pt hitch. There is nothing to center. Just adjust the top link length in or out to match the hole on the implement and shove in the pin.. I am guessing that this is NOT what you are trying to describe or you would not be having trouble with it. Please try again on the description of the trouble you are having. Of course a picture would be worth, oh lets say 1000 words? Sorry to not be more helpful.

tHE TOP LINK IS OFF BY ABOUGHT 2" TO LINE UP I should mention, I'm using a quick hitch, and it doesn't line up top linik, by about 2 to the left.

If you mean length, the top link itself is adjustable to shorter or longer.

For some implements such as a tiller that has tilted back too far you may need to pull forward slowly a few inches to get the top mast on the implement in position. Other implements such as a landscape rake or rearblade may require lifting with the lower arms to allow you to connect the toplink.

No need to get cranky... Top links have "swiveling" eyes so it can move freely left to right. Front to back, follow what k0ua said or what jenkinsph said. All I can say is grab the toplink and pull it over two inches to line up.

You may try lifting the implment using the lift arm pins only, maybe 4 or 5 inches and then lower it back down. Sometimes this will help center the implement.
If you've got the main lift arm pins attached to the implement it almost has to be centered on the top link.
What type of implement are you trying to attach?

I'll try a translation. The guy is using a quick hitch and it is canted one way or the other so the top link attachment point doesn't line up with the implement's attachment point.

A guess is that the implement is tweaked out of alignment so the lower arms of the QH hook up but the top link won't. The implement doesn't have a perfect "A" configuration like the QH does.

My advice would be to take off the quick hitch and hook up the implement directly to the tractor's OEM quick hitch as described in many of the posts above.

Post up pictures of what your doing.
I am sure it can be solved much easier that way.
