Hydraulic Top Link with Pat's Quick Hitch - MAGISTER CAT 2
Overview
An owner-operator explains why adding a Pat's Quick Hitch to a Cat 2 tractor forced him to swap his Magister hydraulic top link from a 12-inch to a 14-inch stroke cylinder. He compares the Magister against a check-valve-equipped competitor he didn't like, walks through hydraulic fitting types (ORB, JIC, pioneer), hose routing, and thread sealing, practical detail that benefits anyone sizing or plumbing a hydraulic top link after adding a quick hitch.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from their own farm, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
