Hydro Top Link For 250

[AKKubota]

I want to add either a hydro top link or full TnT to my 2520. I have the factory power beyond kit for the backhoe. I use my rear blade a lot in the winter and a box blade in the summer. This would be for RB in the winter and BB in the summer. Suggestions?

Get a joystick valve from the surplus center and plumb it in. This has been suggested before. I personally like the joystick controls, have one on my L4350 and am thinking about converting my B7800 also. Just size the valve to your pump output.

AK, There are quite a few threads in the hydraulic forum about adding valves/remotes to the small JD's, one currently ongoing is THIS one, in that post I link some other threads detailing how others have done it also. I agree with MH about the use of the joystick valve for a TnT setup also. Surplus center also has the HTL cylinders with the check valves.
