Hydraulic Top Links for Tractors – Cat 1, Cat 2 & Cat 3
Hydraulic top link for tractor
Spare Parts Holland supplies a wide range of hydraulic top links for tractors, suitable for Cat 1, Cat 2 and Cat 3 three-point hitch systems. A hydraulic top link replaces the standard mechanical top link and allows fast, precise adjustment of mounted implements directly from the tractor seat.
All hydraulic top links are designed for use on the 3 point hitch and require a double-acting control valve on the tractor. Each hydraulic top link is supplied as a complete solution, including a locking block and hydraulic hoses or hose kit for direct installation.

Hydraulic top link cylinder – quality and construction
Each hydraulic top link cylinder from Spare Parts Holland is produced in-house. This allows full control over material selection, welding quality and dimensional accuracy. The cylinders are manufactured from high-quality steel, finished in black paint and designed for long service life in demanding agricultural conditions.
Hydraulic top link with locking block
All hydraulic toplinks are supplied with a locking block as standard. The locking block keeps the oil locked inside the cylinder, preventing unwanted movement of the implement during operation or transport. The block only opens when hydraulic pressure from the tractor is applied.
Hydraulic top link for 3 point hitch with hoses
Every hydraulic top link for 3 point hitch use is delivered including hydraulic hoses or a hose kit. This ensures direct connection to the tractor’s hydraulic system without additional components.
