Measure your current top link both retracted and extended. Try to find cylinder that comes closest to these measurements. Cat 1 top link pins are 3/4". Fittings and hose lengths depend on what cylinder and hydraulic couplers need. Since you want to be able to make small adjustments 1/4" hoses or a flow restrictor may be desired.
I have a B2650 and selected this for my toplink

Look at this link, get the dimension and try to get the hydraulic top link with that dimension at half extension.
As far as couplers, you need 1/2" male poppet type ISO 5675 to plug into your factory rear remote couplers.
I recommend that you go with 3/8" hose.

Also, if you plan to get Pat's or another 3ph quick hitch, that will add another 4". Not sure if you have them or plan to buy them in the future.

4"? I have Cat I and II...haven't measured the II lately but recently measured the I for a neighbor wanting to install a set and it was a 2" extension....I think the mechanical top links sold by TSC came in 25" standard and 27" for longer versions....memory cloudy here and you needed the longer link for use with the Pats.

Sorry, I was referring to Pat's QA. I wrongly assume the other QA were also, 4".

Where did you order it from? Mt. View Ranch has always been helpful to those inquiring about top links even if they don't order thru him. Did you go thru Jordans?
