How good are those tool cats??.

Very good! :D 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steer, 4 wheel independent suspension, 61 horse power turbocharged Kubota 3 cylinder diesel. SSQA with aux hydraulics on the lift arms. Check my threads in the Toolcat Forum for more pictures: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/toolcat/

Very good on sidehills with the 7' brush hog. :thumbsup:

I keep a separate top link on each implement so I don't need to adjust them or have one protruding from the back of the tractor. My DK35 came with a hook but I don't use it.

Perhaps you could use some eye bolt and cable arrangement to support the top link. Here is a photo of one I use to support my finishing mower drive shaft:

I have a coil of 1/8" wire laying around the barn and just used a length of that to loop through a hole in a bracket on the ROPS, then bent the other end into a hook to hold the top link. I might take that off when I get a QH.

A tarp strap works better than a bungee cord.

Mine came with the hook... but once the hydraulic top cylinder was installed that hook was way too small.

Need to fab up something. Someday. I mostly have the backhoe on, so simply remove the top link.

Hook a tarp strap to the OEM hook.

I carry a couple of spare bungee cords hooked across the ROPS. Also use them to support the top link,
