Hydraulic top link

OK, I know what the top link cylinder would be good for, but what would the side cylinder be good for?

Not an expert on this either but from what I've seen t-n-t allows you lower one side (right front and right rear) so you can carve out ditches, etc.

Top & Tilt makes adjustments of grading type implements to be made in motion while you are grading. Very very convenient. Top link adjusts the tilt of the blade front to back while the side link allows you to adjust the blade side to side which is a common necessity when road grading.

so you put a cyliner in place of the riight side lower ajustable link?

Yes, that way you can easily adjust for slopes, crowning of roads, roadside ditches etc.

ahh yeah I see how that will make life much easier grading, looks like will be high on my "customizing" priority list

Last week I was at a local dealer and saw a demonstration somebody was doing. It was for self-contained hydraulic top link. It didn't have any hoses at all. The thing made small adjustments on the fly while he used a box blade on some gravel. It was pretty slick.

do you know who the manufacturer is?

I dont understand :confused2: sorry but if the cylinder was self contained how was the guy adjusting it on the fly? and where is the control to angle it. I thought the whole point of the cylinder was to place the blade the way you wanted it with pressure holding it and moving it to that angle. How did the self contained make the pressure I would think it be the same as a manual toplink Again I need a cold :drink:

It was probably a linear actuator.
