YT359c top link!

[RadarTech]

I don’t remember who else was looking for info about the Hudraulic Top link for a YT359c…
But mine came in.. and was on and working in less than 20 min..

I got it from Agristoreusa .com
Top link SKU 06004. 20 7/8 to 31 7/8
I got this length as the 27" max on the factory one was too short with the pat's easy installed..

And the hoses were SKU. E000050915
This is 1/2 in valve couplers.. 2 ft hoses. and it all fit fine..

I used Agristore since summit is backordered until August. Or September when I went to order.

I hope this helps someone..

Looking back I see now that summit only has the hosed and parts backordered the cylinder is not ..

But agristore has FREE shipping..

I did the same.. I did need hydraulic restrictors to slow the cylinder and stop the chatter when there is a heavy load on the top link as it extends. Seems pretty common.

Thanks for posting this. I got mine from Summit Hydraulics. I ended up going with the next length longer. The one that matched, would tilt my attachments way forward,…but not as far as I needed when it’s extended.

Will have to consider one as well. I have the chatter too, and it is annoying.

Where did you get those restrictors?

Well, the cylinder was Italian, so I did end up buying them from across the pond for the correct thread type and pitch.
They were a few bucks each. Let me find my post about them.

It’s here!

I drove it around for fun… and it was fun!

Around post 75 I talk about what I used. If you bought from AgriStore, you'll need BSP threads and MOST of what you'll find here is NOT.

These won't work with the Italian made links. Wrong thread type.

Look here. I used the .031" orifice and it's perfect IMHO.

I picked mine up at Tractor Supply Company, once my hydraulically ignorant self realized what it was they were.

CloverKnollFarms posts about them were my introduction to restrictors.

Wow… found a box of all sizes on Amazon….

Sealing between fittings. Work well, lasts a long time.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Hi RadarTech,

Thanks for your post. I am in the process of buying an open station Yanmar YT359 and wanted the top n tilt. Your post should be what I need for the top. Are you happy with the choice. Is the quality and function what you would recommend? Summit is back ordered to Oct 2024. I would appreciate your comment on this.

Hi Desertsasquach,

I would appreciate knowing what you decided on as I am a bit new to this and want to get a top n tilt for an open station YT359. I don't know what the "next longer length" item would be when looking at the top kits. Also would like to know what restrictors I would need. Just learning about this, so a little confused.

You would be better off with 2 1/2" dia cylinders and 1 1/2" dia rods IMO.
That is what I recommend for your model, similar to those pictured.

If you are not using Pat's quick hitch, then you want something with a working length close to 20"-29" for a top link.
Side link should be built to provide an equal amount of tilt angle to both sides using a 5" stroke cylinder.
You can get a quote here if you like.

I do like it.. I need to buy a hydro limiter though.. I’d recommend you get one..
