I don't remember what they are called but I have one factory on my Kubota L5030, it has a little hand crank, no wrenches needed ...

I leave my top link on all the time, connected to one SCV.

The side link cylinder I now only install if I an using a rake or blade that I specifically want to tilt. All other times I switch back to a rigid like which happens to be the one that originally was supplied with the tractor. I found that for other implements that wanted to be level, the hydraulic side link was always drifting down and I was always hunting around trying to find level again. A fixed like solved that problem.

I also have three SCVs, which so far is all I have needed.

So I would start by getting a fixed link to use in place of the hydraulic side link. I'd probably spend the $$ on a factory link so the angles, lengths, hole sizes, and clearances are correct.
I leave the hydraulic lift link on all the time. To compensate for bleed down, I use a manually adjustable lift link on the opposite side. I adjust it to match the length of the fully extended hydraulic link

The links are overpriced , especially through tractor dealers.

Yup! Here is one for my Kubota L5030 ...

I paid $357 for the CAT 2 hydraulic top link in post # 11 from my local Massey Ferguson dealer, including the hose and ends!

Somehow "I told you so" comes to mind...
