Category 2 Hydraulic Top Link 21 5/8" - 32 11/16"

Bought this cylinder along with the pair of hoses (same seller) for my new Kubota L6060. As a few others mentioned the width of the “eye” on the tractor side is a little wide for Cat 1/2 hookups like on the kubota grand L series. 5 minutes with a grinder shaved off 1/4” on one side and it slid right in. I used an additional thin reducer (cat 2 to cat 1) bushing to make so for a snug fit at the tractor attachment. The cylinder and hoses seem to be good quality. Held my bush hog up overnight with no leak down. If they made a lift arm cylinder / hose kit I’d be all over it.

When I ordered this item I also ordered the hose kit. Unfortunately, when the package arrived the hoses weren't inside the box - the packing slip showed I'd ordered it and it didn't show a backorder. I called the # on the packing list and spoke with a really charming lady - sorry I can't recall her name - and told her what had happened. She took my phone # and said she'd look it up and be back to me in a few minutes - I expected 10-15 minutes - she called back within 5 minutes stating they would have the hoses out that day (and they did!). So I would seriously and highly recommend Brook AG to anyone requiring any AG related parts! Hydraulic top link appears to be very high quality, rugged and built very well. I did have to grind down the ears of the bushing on the implement side to fit all of my different implements as it is just a hair over 2" and my narrowest item (a cat 1 box grader) is only ~1 15/16. Easily done with a grinder in just a few strokes. The entire package - top link, hoses and some cat1 to cat2 bushings (purchased @ tsc) ran a bit over $350 but I believe it is well worth it for the quality that appears to be apparent in the link & hoses. Although this review is about the top link, I'm going to include the hoses down here at the bottom so you don't have to look it up. These hoses look to be very well built, came protected on both ends with either caps or screw covers. One hose has a right angle extended swivel end and the other a standard banjo end allowing a very nice transition and routing of the hoses. Length is right around 3 foot for each hose and for my application it is fine (enough room for a loop between the top link and the QC ag connectors on the remotes). I'm a bit old school and don't like Teflon tape with hydraulics so I used blue paste (No, Not locktight) that resists vibration. Great hoses and would highly recommend purchasing these if you get one of these Italian top links - the frustratration & trips to the hardware store that might follow by using the npt adapters isn't worth the $60 for the set (imo).

As others have said, both the toplink and the recommended hoses just work and seem well-built. I waited a year to offer a review. No problems, so far, on my Mahindra 6119 (59 hp Cat 2).

nice. takes a little getting use to. but, when use to it. nice to have. do not have to get off tractor to readjust.

1st, the chinks painted the swivel balls in both ends and I found them stuck. Also, the holes the hose fittings go into are too close to use a swivel elbow, screw in one and the other won't pass it. Just silly unnecessary untested stuff that would be easy to correct, if you speak Chinese.....

Works well with my Mahindra 6000 after a cat 1-2 top link bushing for the pin that hooks to the tractor

Installed on a Branson 5835R working great no issues so far running a 1300 lb mower on the rear also works great for my box blade.

Why did I wait so long to put this on my tractor? Greatest thing since sliced bread. You should get one, too. Don't get one smaller ... this one barely picks up a 2,000 # hay bale.
