TISCO873-470 Top Link

Good quality, fast delivery

I own a Kubota BX2350 tractor and my OEM top link is bent so I can no longer adjust it on one side. I tried Tractor Supply for a replacement part and other sites without success. The Kubota OEM part is Cat 1 and so is this Tisco replacement. I ordered this Tisco part from Amazon and discovered that with a little grinding it works perfectly. The only thing I had to do to make it work was to make the ball joint narrower. I grinded down one of the Ball Joints because Tisco is about 1/8 inch wider than the OEM part. Took about 15 minutes. I only grinded one top-link because the other side that connects onto 3 point tractor attachments is much wider than the Tisco part so it does not need any modification.The Tisco part is pretty hefty, the threaded parts are thicker than the OEM part, but the Tisco cylinder it screws into is a bit less “hefty” than the OEM. Also, when fully extended the OEM part is about 24 inches long whereas the Tisco top link only goes to about 21 inches +/-, about 3 inches shorter. The Tisco does not have a stop on the threaded rod so you can accidently unscrew it to the point where it falls out. I painted about 2 inches on the ends of the Tisco so that I have a visual indicator so I don’t unscrew it too far. The OEM part has a built-in stop on the threaded rods which prevents it from falling out.BOTTOM LINE:1. The Tisco will fit the Kubota BX2350 not sure about other models.2. One end needs to be made narrower/grinded by 1/8 inch to fit the Kubota.3. The Tisco rod can fall out if unscrewed too far.4. Tisco threaded rod thicker than OEM5. OEM cylinder is “heftier.”6. Tisco max length fully extended is about 21 inches vs the Kubota which is 24 inches.

happy with it. However, if shortened too much, the mower front wheels can bump the tractor wheels when mower is raised. Just need to adjust it some.

I redid the factory 3point position arms on my mahindra 1635. The factory ones broke pretty easily. With a relocation of the brackets these short links fit and fixed my issue perfectly!

Fit just right for use of Box Scraper

Works perfect and as for the people that say that the bar is useless because it’s crimped it’s supposed to be its perfectly designed you’re supposed to get a hammer and hit it through the hole and those crimps keep it in place like pic I posted and it does not come back out. Sets in perfectly doesn’t damage anything.

I needed a very short link so my tiller attachment would cut parallel to the ground, so I get maximum cutting depth (OEM link is 14"). The OEM link causes the unit to pitch/angle back while cutting (as the link lowers, it is an arc motion where as the lowest point pushes the attachment away from the tractor). As mentioned before...cutting depth of the till was limited, but it would also pull the driveshaft apart because it pushed the tiller back as it went lower. With this TISCO 873-470 Top Link, the arc motion is decreased and the tiller touches down level to the ground.

This top link is alot heavier than the factory one on my kubota bx2200, which is a good thing because the factory one bent. I had to do a little grinding on the ball joint ends because they were too wide to go into the brackets, but I was expecting this per the reviews. The crimped edges on the handle were bigger than the hole they went into , but a little grease and about 4 taps with a 4 lb hammer and they popped right in, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. This is the shortest top link that I could find that had 3/4 inch holes in the ball joint ends ,the others this short have smaller holes.
