I have a BX1800 with a set of pats Quick Connector. My factory top link is just a little short to work the box blade and tiller. I purchased a top link from tractor supply but it is too long. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do next.

Get a hydraulic top link from Brian[mountain view] that should do it.

Yes it is but the add distance is out side the range of the oem top link

They make top links in different lengths. I always measured my old top link and then took the tape measure to TSC to pick the length that I needed.

Take the one you bought back to TSC and get the next shorter size. They should have several different adjustable lengths.
When i first bought my Pats, I had the same problem. Stopped at a Green dealer since I was driving by and priced a longer one. $70
Since I had no idea of how much one should cost I was feeling down BUUUT on up the hwy was a TSC so before paying $70 I thought I'd check at TSC. They had a rack full of them in different adjustable sizes for $19 each.

Just checking Agri-Supply catalog that is laying on my table and it looks like they carry Cat I in body lengths of 13",16", 19", 20" and a special Kubota one of 14.5". This is body length not minimum/maximum adjustment. Measure the two you have and pick one in between. The link MVR sent has about the same sizes but about $10 higher average cost. TSC should have similar sizes available

Try this Tisco JSA1009 it is a replacement for the BX top link for about $20 and I think it is a bit longer Adjusts 13" - 19" overall.
