I am amazed at how much easier the hydraulic top link has made my life. And it's especially useful with a box blade.

The nearest rental companies are a 100 mile round trip and I'm so deaf that phones are just a source of misunderstanding

I've looked for used but all I've found were either beat up or almost the price of new.

I'm ready for a hydraulic top link for my L2501. I have the tractor side hydraulics, suggestions for the specific toplink?

I haven’t yet reached that blessed state of retirement where time is irrelevant. And since I live deep in the wilderness (we had the last horseback mail delivery in the US) shipments usually take far longer than than expected. But in this case things fell into place much better than could be...

I did not know of Catawba. Looks like good stuff.

I avoid Chinese steel. I misunderstood, the farm store was saying Tarter but I can't hear the difference between Titan and Tarter. I am really that deaf. Deaf enough to get VA disability compensation for hearing. Veterans will understand how deaf you have to be.

I use a big old gum log on my carryall

No to cheap Chinese products. Being deaf phones are hard, I misheard the brand name so it's taken awhile to sort out the facts.

Yes, the heavy duty BB2560 would cost 50% more and take weeks to arrive.

My options are limited, the local TSC only has their CountyLine brand in stock, it would be a week or more before they could even get the Tarter blade. And it's heavier than anything else I've found.

Has anyone had experience with the Titan box blades? https://palletforks.com/products/3-point-box-blade-scraper

I have only had the QH15, what did you do to improve it?

Anyone have experience with the Tarter box blade? https://tarterusa.com/200-series-5-ft-box-blade/

Thank you Ken for the answer. I will also go with the Speeco clevis. Kubota an Tractor Supply also sell rebranded versions.
