Cat 1 measurements

My Yanmar tiller would have come with one of those special toplinks had I needed it. The dealer said that they only work with the Yanmar tractors and have to do with the vertical placement of the toplink attachment on the tractor. To get my tiller to fit my Satoh S650 I took an old Cat 1 toplink and cut it down to like 12" clevis to clevis with a couple inches adjustment in either direction. Works great except that you can't leave the pto running with the 3pt all the way lifted b/c the shaft angle is too steep.

TSC sells a universal lower lift arm that is something like 31.5" center to center... I have a pair on my YM 1700, and like them.

Keep in mind the yanmar tillers are weird setups.. use short driveshafts and a weird top connection .. and that is where the pivot..
