3-Point Hitch Hydraulic Top Links

[Olympus]

Anyone have recommendations for a hydraulic top link for my R3039? I’ve never used one before, but seems like it would come in handy with all the different implements that I use.

Every tractor should have one. Here's a source of various sizes. Not sure what your tractor needs.

Check out Fit Rite Hydraulics - fitritehydraulics.com I just got mine and installed it today. It takes a while to get it but real top quality product. I wish I had my camera with me when I installed it I could have posted a few pictures. Maybe tomorrow.

Unfortunately there are not a lot of options for your tractor available. I know that the best that I can come up with to fit your tractor is a 17"-23" working length shown on the left.

Nice job. How long are the hoses you used?

There are some inexpensive options...but in general you usually get what you pay (and or wait) for...
Good Luck...

After three and a half years I finally got a hydraulic top link. Fit Rite . Wish the tractor would have come with this brand of top link. I've had mine five and a half years now.

For me, it's been a TRUE blessing. Makes ground engagement implements SO MUCH easier/faster to adjust. PLUS you make all adjustment on the go. No stopping, twisting, go a distance, stop, twist - you get the idea.

Plus - since adjustments are so easy - you no longer have to settle for - "well, this looks good enough". Just keep twitching that hydraulic lever until the adjustment is perfect. It is a permanent feature on my tractor now.

You oughtta try a hydraulic side link. For ground engagement finish work it's worth more than the top link.

I built my own top link for my 4046 3 years ago for under $250.
I've included the parts list in my original post from when I bought that tractor.

Good work!! Only thing I might have done different would be smaller hose. Works better in confined space. Thanks for linking to your thread.
