Hydraulic side link (tilt) question

[LS Tractor Owner]

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 will PM you for a price / wait time, thanks.

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.
