HTL suggestions for m7040?

Ok mtnviewranch bear with me, Im still me just changed my handle (formerly 4105deere). Really ready to get htl and side link. The one you have for my new 7040 (gettn goosebumps) will be just what I need right?

DWT, yes unless you are going to use Pat's quick hitch or something similar which most people with the lower extend-able ends do not go to. Email me at Fit Rite and I will get you an exact cost and everything that you would be getting. I just shipped a complete "TnT" kit last month to a dealer in New York for an M7040. By chance does one of your rear remotes have float position or are they both the self canceling detent type?
Just wondering. :confused3:

Self canceling.

Self canceling.

Bummer, would have been nice to have at least one with float for the side link, oh well. See if they will exchange one for one with float, or add the 3rd remote, you are going to need the 3rd remote anyway.

Zebrafive, Do you have a link to the hydraulic that you want to use? The 20"-30" top link that I am talking about is built for the Kubota M7040. Your tractor is different, You only have a single hole to mount to. The M series have 3 holes to choose from. The top link mount on the tractor is completely different than yours. Where you can probably get away with the Surplus cylinder, 4105deere may very well have a problem with it.

Surplus Center item number 9-7261-12

Yes my tractor only has one postion for the tractor end of the link.

So in your post #4, were you refering to me or 4105deere? I was trying to understand why you thought being able to extend longer than std link would be a problem? Just retract it too long

No, post # 4 was for you. When you can't retract far enough, there are many times when the implement will hit the dirt when you don't want it to and you can't use the hydraulic top link to pick the tail end up any higher because the top link is collapsed all the way. This is common when in rough terrain or when loading onto a trailer. I think that the ideal configuration is to have the hydraulic at mid stroke when the implement is parallel with the ground that the tractor is on. In most cases it seems to work out best to match as close as possible to the OEM top link. If item # 9-7261-12 allows you to be collapsed as short or shorter than your OEM top link, then you would be good to go.

OK, that clears it up! Thanks :thumbsup: That cylinder will collapse shorter than the OEM top link. I plan to use 1/4" hose. Then if too fast add resrictors.

Size and weight of my tractor means I will not be trailering it. I would need a bigger truck and trailer
