Randy: I have used a hydraulic cylinder for a top link for years. It works very, very well for most of my work, especially for lawn grading and seeding. You are forever wanting to change the pitch when grading with the box scraper. My cylinder is 4 inch diameter with an 8 inch stroke. Obviously a smaller diameter cylinder will work; you just will have faster travel or extension/shortening of the piston. It will lift or tilt anything that the 3 point will lift, up to and including a 200 gallon tank for the sprayer. Works great - wouldn't want to be without it. You just need special ends for mounting to tractor and implement. My tractor is equipped with dual rear remotes. One goes to the top link cylinder; the other to a cylinder so that the implement on the 3 point can be tilted sideways.
