If anyone has installed a hydraulic side link on their XG3025 or similar tractor, could you please post a part number or which cylinder that you used? Apparently they are shorter than "stock" type cylinders? I know they have a swivel at the top on the lift arms. Has anyone pieced together one?

Seems like the dealer wants around $200 more than the typical ones from places like Agri-Store. I'm just wondering if I am going to be "stuck" getting one from the dealer.....

I doubt that you will find an off the shelf unit for your tractor. You can always purchase one from me, but be prepared to wait.

2" dia cylinder with 1 1/4" dia rod with a 4" stroke providing an equal amount of tilt angle to both sides. :thumbsup:

This connects at the lower swivel point of the extending bars at the top side of the link.

I’ll second Brian’s knowledge and service. Got my TnT from him years ago.

I got my hydraulic top link from Brian - six years ago. Plug 'n Play to instal. Not a moments problems. Makes all ground engagement implements a joy to use and near 100% effective. Especially thankful now that I've gotten a tad bit older.
