Default Know where I can get a cat. 0 quick attach toplink?

Anyone know where I can find a quick attach toplink, or just the end, for a category 0 3-point? They look like the one below. They are more common on full size JD tractors. I've got a bunch of smaller branches to rake up with a landscape rake. I was thinking it would be really nice if I got a big ball in front of the rake, I could just reach back, unhook and let the rake pivot on the lower links kind of like a dump rake works.

You trying to get it to float more? Never seen a quick center link on anything that small, just big Deere's (that's not to say its not made).

They do not make one for Cat 0/1.

I don't understand how disconnecting the top link would allow the rake to "dump". It would still be touching the ground, just at a different angle.

The idea is to disconnect the top link and I can pull the top of the 3 point frame forward while I lift the 3 point and pull forward. This will be a rake like Xtreme Motorworks sells. See below. The rake is not extended behind the 3 point frame, which will be light enough to do this with.

I'm sorry.... I'm confused. It's attached to the 3pt. Wouldn't picking it up work too?

If I was just raking gravel or wanted to stop often and leave a bunch of little piles, it would work just fine. I have about 1-1/2 acres with a lot of trees and because of the surroundings, I can't burn like we do in the country. There's lots of limbs on the ground that I've pushed into piles to be loaded and hauled off. Now I'm left with a lot of small stuff under the grass to rake up. I want to go until the rake is completely full, dump it in one neat pile and rake more. The way the rake is built the 3 point doesn't have enough lift left to raise the rake high enough to clear the pile and I didn't want to rework the rake. The idea was to get the extra lift by disconnecting the top link and swing the rake up, but the purpose is defeated if I can't get a quick attach top link.

Why not use a chain with a hook on the end instead of the top link? Put the top link pin in the tractor and hang the hook on it.

if you had a hydraulic remote back there you could use a small cylinder as your top link and dump it that way

Mount the top link in the lowest hole on the tractor, then shorten the link some. It will lift it high enough.

I had plenty of time waiting for a grain trailer to sell today to think about this. I think I'm going to go with Jonathan's idea, but if I still have problems, I'll just make an extra short link.

I may still try to do a qa top link just because I like to be lazy when I can.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
