Good Morning Tim, It is funny you mentioned that when you're filming that you feel like we viewers are there with you. Because as long time viewers many of us begin to feel like we actually know you and that we have become friends. It sure is a funny phenomenon that happens with KZbin and to a certain degree all social media. I hope all is well and thanks for sharing. 😊

[@dancrafton89]

I agree with that its like getting to see a friend every day. Look for cotontop every morning. Tim love your talk with us every day. God bless you'll.

[@dannythomas2425]

Awe Tim your family

[@lomax3216]

Tim, I have the same tractor. Bought it new in 2010...no computer. I put the hydraulic top link on it a couple of months after I bought the tractor. It sure makes life alot easier. You're going to like it.

[@byronglover490]

Hydraulic top links also work well on lift type disk/harrows. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@arthurbuckyelksjr7918]

Tim thanks for sharing the top link on your tractor i have always wanted a top link on my tractor now i see what the hydraulic top link can really do. Thanks be safe have a great day

[@jonathanotinger]

Tim I know this is an older video but I was looking at a video of some Gnuse Manufacturing center links and this video came up. I noticed that you had an SMA brand cylinder. They are great cylinders but the one you spoke of that has a depth gauge is made by Gnuse Manufacturing in Nebraska. We sale and install a TON of these things at my John Deere dealership. Makes all the difference in the world. Work smarter, not harder. Lol. God bless

[@kailingassett7123]

Good way to start the day, gotta love that 4:45am wake up!

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

That's on the list for our 5055 but with the hydraulic problems, I'm not adding another cylinder until I get the ones I have working lol

[@danielsweeney6742]

Tim you were talking about the chill in your shop. Right now it is 8 degrees. Later next week it will be the teens below zero. Your shop would be far colder than a chill.

[@kevincarver6727]

Great video Tim. 👍👍👍. If you get the long tube heater that hangs in the center of your shop. I think you would be happy with it. I have installed a lot of them. They are simple to install. Later

[@markclifford7436]

I put in infrared heater at the work stations in my warehouse. They are like the sun on a cold day. You only feel the heat when you're in front of them.

[@johnwhicks8687]

Great video I love the shop videos. It does feel like we are there watching. I catch myself trying to hold stuff for you when you need a extra hand 😂. That was a catchy tune you had going there also. Thanks for the video

[@cynthiaherr9029]

I'm not surprised at all that your'e watching behind you at times, Nice job on the tractor Tim, working smarter..LOL Have a great day Tim and Stay outta trouble..

[@briangardiner1015]

I had never thought you could do that. It looks really nice.

[@73DiamondReo]

When i ordered our new ROW mower i had the hydraulic top link installed. really helps if your in some rough terrain and you can get the Brown tree cutter out of the way. its been handy

[@adamnorris6053]

Good vid Tim. You can get dowdy seals (excuse my spelling ) which is a o ring in a washer to seal those hyd fittings

[@josephboley]

good morning Tim. hope all is well buddy.

[@johnwilloughby9712]

Great video Tim i believe that cylinder is going to work good when you're grading be safe and have a blessed evening !

[@robertramsden9733]

You could probably weld your own rod on the cylinder where pin goes through and paint it up with your own marks and get same results 👍

[@wraith3951]

Great Video! i'm going to get my first tractor hopefully Monday and adding a Hyd Top Link was 1 of my planned Additions to it as well as a Hyd Leveler.

[@juniorraines5956]

I have use a top link on a tractor and they do work good. Great video tim looking forward to the video of the other logger. Hope you have a good weekend

[@dtchweed]

Very cool looks like it will work great Tim

[@brentmedders]

That will be more handy than a shirt pocket!!

[@dwightjones5826]

That should make it easier working with everything smart your dad taught you good LOL

[@1ton4god]

I got a 43 20 compact and I'm hoping to get one for it I don't even know how to look for the right one.

[@mattbarker7739]

I beat the new top link will be handy, after watching you use Milwaukee tools I've begun investing in a few of there tools, I enjoy the channel

[@ryandimock]

Loctite 567 is for hydraulic fittings fyi. Teflon is horrible for this as if u get it into the hydraulic system the tape will take out your seals. Just a thought. I do hydraulic repairs for work thought I'd pass on a tip for u.

[@englandtillidie3230]

You have a good life Tim

[@mikehornsby599]

Great job enjoyed that!!!!

[@tcmits3699]

Wouldn't it had been easier to remove the square u bolts and brace(the piece with the plastic canister)on the grader and replace it with a hydraulic cylinder going from grader crossbeam to upper rear QH

[@craigwingnut9570]

Nice video, thanks for posting. Did you consider a cylinder with a check valve? Not sure if it matters but in doing research for a Hyd. top link for my tractor I reviewed several cylinders that had the check valve. Seemed it was recommended for box blade use especially when using for a long period of time. The check valve is supposed to maintain the set position. Now that you have had it for a while do you have an issue with the cylinder not holding a set position?

[@cotontop3]

No issues even after several years.

[@marksleeper3752]

great vid I want to do that with my 4052R I have the land pride QH15 speed hitch

[@cjpiper2420]

I’m curious what the Milwaukee weed eater do, I’m thinking seeing what the chain saw does, that weed eater should be sweet

[@stevecoxtn1]

you shouldn't use Teflon tape on hydraulic fittings, get a liquid sealant made for hydraulic fluid. I'm going to get me a top link, good video

[@robertbettis6552]

Nice shop bud!

[@richscott2952]

I have a Normand inverted snow blower on back of a 4066r will this make it better ?

[@corinorwood1054]

I can think of a multitude of reasons why you wouldn’t but I still would like to know- have you ever considered putting your tractor to the test along with the box attached on one of the haul roads for the log trucks? Granted the weather will dictate when that would be an option and again I’m aware of the different category the dozier is in that you guys have but I was just curious as to if it was ever perhaps an idea for a video 👌🏾

[@cotontop3]

That tractor belongs to me and the logging company belongs to my dad. I would need to be paid to run my tractor on the haul road. The logging company owns a road grader too.

[@jddriver9565]

do you know when we will see this landplane in action? looks great! Cant wait to see it in the (woods?)! :)

[@nickbomar6550]

Did you install the 2nd rear SCV’s on the tractor or did it come with them? Also did having the second rear SVC cause any issues with adding the 3rd function set up to the loader?

[@cotontop3]

I put the second svc on. It didn’t cause any issues with the 3rd function.

[@nickbomar6550]

cotontop3 good deal. I’m wanting to add both of those features to my 5055E.

[@timsawyer7443]

Seems like I've read that you're not supposed to use tape on hydraulic fittings -- that it'll cause leakage. Did you find that to be the case?

[@cotontop3]

If its pipe threads, you gotta use some type of tape or pipe dope.

[@jameshaggerty8960]

What brand top link

[@darrengarlough5121]

what size plane should I buy for my 4052m?

[@gusmzp2075]

Tim did u field the cylinder with oil first or did u installed it with out oil?

[@pjadams1456]

The dealer told me not to use tread tap and it’s leaking like a running facet

[@mikecoke1716]

You may have said and I just missed it but what size of cylinder ( stroke & shaft size was it). I have a 5075E John Deere also.

[@cotontop3]

I’m not sure on that. I got it through a local dealer here Wade equipment.

[@mikecoke1716]

@@cotontop3 Thank you

[@gpax-6197]

Hey Tim. I have the same tractor and I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing to my top link. What size cylinder is that?

[@garymorton8866]

Same here. I cant see you reply. I have the same Tractor exce[t I have a Bush Hog cat2 quick hitch. What top link did you use? Thank you very ,much. LOVE the videos. I learn a lot by watching you pros!!!

[@floydfarms1578]

Where did you get the top link? Do you have any plans of getting a hydraulic cylinder for the side to allow for tilting left right? I've been looking at one for the box blade or grade blade. But, I can't decide if I want to do that or switch to a pull type box blade that has a tilt cylinder on one side. Don't really have anything else that could use tilt feature.

[@brentmedders]

Floyd Farms I believe in the video he said it came from his local John Deere dealer, Wade, Inc.

[@floydfarms1578]

Brenton Medders ahh good catch! Volume was turned down when I started and missed that at the start. When he said it near the end I didn't hear a name, just said dealer. Thanks!

[@chevyon37s]

Your Deere dealer doesn’t make hydraulic lines?!?! What kind of place is it?!

[@cotontop3]

That has me scratching my head too.

[@jasonrowe268]

Drew w too many different types of fittings nowadays. Some dealers, especially in smaller towns like letting the small hydraulic shops get some of the business, helps them keep the wheels turning.

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Hey Tim I’ve seen a few people use the hydraulic top links I’ve never had one will that allow you to have down pressure on a blade that would sure be handy thanks Napa mike 👍

[@mattywho8485]

Down pressure on a three point hitch ????

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Mattywho thanks 👍

[@yaknbassaddicts4176]

Hey hey neighbor

[@tonyanderson6493]

Howdy

[@stevenp540]

Where did you get that cylinder?

[@cotontop3]

My local Deere dealer had it. Wade inc

[@g36cking]

Did you install your additional set of rear hydraulics?

[@cotontop3]

I did.

[@g36cking]

cotontop3 I have a 5075e as well. I was looking to install them. How much of a pain in the ass is it to install? Thanks.
