Anybody tried the top link sold on E-bay? Seems to be only one guy selling almost all of them . Looks like I can get it shipped with 2 hoses but no quick attach couplers for $210. It seems like a good price.

I would first make sure the extended length will work with your equip, then find out dimensions of piston. before I purchased mine, I was finding units on amazon and eBay did not extend enough. I paid $350 for mine at kioti dealer, complete with fittings, hoses, swivels. Good extension and nearly 3,000- 4000 pound rating.. I forgot which

Tractor supply, for not much more, with couplers and returnable.
I put this on my tractor about a month ago, no issues, even comes with a double pilot operated check valve & Pushing/lifting capacity: 6700 lb. / 4300 lb.
And if you want one a bit shorter: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...raulic-top-link:-18-1-8-26-3-8in?cm_vc=-10005

Hydraulic Top Link Cat. 1-1 with Locking Block 20 7/8” - 31 7/8” with 2 x Hose | eBay
This top link is therefore equipped with a locking block. With this valve, the oil is enclosed in the cylinder by a check valve. Only when there is oil pressure from the tractor again does the valve open and the cylinder can be adjusted.

Measure your existing top link in the fully retracted and extended (with 1 diameter's threads engaged). Then think about if you need the new link to go shorter or longer. 21-32 inches is a long one.
The valving on that Ebay one will make it impossible to use float, if you were planning on that.

im not sure any hydraulic top link has float function. at least none that i have used. my current one does not either. dont need float. so far im very impressed with the new one i added last month. makes working with my rear blade was easier. i was also able to raise my harrow off of the ground fully for first time in 10 years. ill probibly not use it with my rear log splitter. im afraid if im not careful i could strike my rear window with that 1 implement.
using it on my blade, i was glad i went with the longer one. i have had to fully extend it at times for a good bite. i believe mine has a 32" reach, but id have to throw a tape measure on it to be sure.

Yep!
Got to love Princess Auto.
We finally got one near me and it has become my 'Go To' for most things tractor related.
I just needed to fix my CUT FEL loader hydraulics and they had everything in stock 'on the shelf'.
A real candy store for us DIY types.

I purchased my 3-valve remote block for the Ford from the eBay guy in the Netherlands. It came complete with hoses, mounting bracket, FM quick couplers and the dust covers. He was quick to ship and the package arrived really quick for being "off shore". I seem to recall it being 10 days or less to my door. But that was before COVID-19 was getting a grip on everything.
The only reason I didn't leave feedback for the seller was he apparently holds YOUR feedback hostage. I don't leave feedback for sellers that don't leave feedback for the buyer when paid. Never. I had a good experience but I just don't.
