Recommendations for a hydraulic top link on my B2650 HSTC

[Balzy]

I'm looking to put a hydraulic top link on my B2650 HSTC. Cab Tractor. Use a 60” Land pride box blade, 60” Agrotrend inverted snowblower with hydraulic rotation and tilt, 60" Bush Hog. Mechanical Top Link is set at about 18" right now for level cutting with the Bush Hog. Can anyone recommend a brand to use and also how much travel is recommended. Also, what do they mean by a Locking Block?

Order from Fit right Hydraulics

Then you can discuss the length with him to get the correct size.

Very nice product and high quality.

Not familiar with the term "locking block" but asume it means pilot operated check valves to prevent leakage through the tractor remove valves. Yes, you need such.

I would also assume the same as @SDT about the “locking block”.

Trying to put a DPOCV (Dual Pilot Operated Check Valve) after the fact is difficult/impossible/hard/menacing……Just get one when you order it, it’s much easier/cheaper/faster to do it that way.

(Same with the side cylinder too!!!!!!!)

Good Luck

Very Satisfied FitRite fan here. Great customer service IMO to understand what you need and then get you a proper kit that is plug and play. I have ordered 2 kits from FitRite and would go there again with my own money.

Check the level setting with ALL of your implements.
I doubt that it is the same for everything.
Then choose a compromise that works.
I have found that an 18"-26" length typically works well, but that may not be the case for your applications.
