3pt arms

[thomas9n]

iv'e had my 3032 for three weeks now,and have used four different attachments. when i have to adjust three pt. arms they don't move real easy, so i use a adjustable wrench and am scatching the adjustment arms. ive greased the arms but still need to use the wrench, ive got old er tractors dont mind scatching them a little but hate doing this to the new one! thought about cutting the right size wrench in half to turn them easier anyone else have this problem? tom

Don't they make ratchet arms?

Are you talking about the sway control adjustment using the turnbuckles? On my 3032, I can turn the turnbuckles by hand once the lock nut is loosened (very awkward) and there's no load on the arms. With an implement attached, I raise it and then pull to create slack to adjust the amount of sway. I've got the lower arms set now so that I don't have to do much of this anymore and use Pat's Easy Change hooks to boot. Makes everything so much simpler.

Have you consider getting a quick hitch system, I know for myself changing out all the time was a pain with quick hitch it makes things simple, just a thought...

fireman= yes have thought about quick-hitch but my equipment is older and i don't think a quick-hitch will work on all of it
