I would like the get a hydraulic top link for my box blade. Any recommendations where to get one and any brands to stay away from?

I've been very happy with the Cat.1 from Surpluscenter, also comes with a lock valve.
I've had mine for 8years, very happy with the quality.

Can't comment on the cat 2 versions.

I attached a skidsteer mount to my 3-point. It extended it a couple inches, so I purchased a cat 2 toplink on ebay. Very pleased with the results, mostly when I can now change implements with only getting off the tractor to throw the locking pins down. To swap between my box blade and landscape rake takes all of a couple minutes. The hydraulic toplink makes this possible.

Do they make electric top links now? We have a 12v powered gate on our driveway. The way it's made, you'd think it was be very easy to do a top link in electric using that type of design.

Be so much simpler than hydraulic.

I've had my FitRite hydraulic top link for five years. A simple and fantastic piece of equipment. NEVER a moments problem.

I've got the CAT II. No problems.

This is good if you can wait 18 weeks, if it wasn't good the lead time wouldn't be that long: Fit Rite Hydraulics - fitritehydraulics.com

It is owned by a TBN member, MtnViewRanch.

Thanks... just shot him an email.

Got a auto gen reply from Brian saying he will get back to me shortly. Indeed he seems busy. Now wondering if I should invest in a top and tilt or just a top link for my Box blade?

I am carving tractor trails across my steep sloped property and having a tilt feature I think could be a huge time saver. I have found it very hard to change the 'roll' (downhill pitch) when cutting across the hillside.

I'm happy with my Fit Rite Top&Tilt. Been using it five years now. Just like my enclosed cab, it's one of those things I wished I had done sooner
