It very clear that the implement will attach on that tractor as shown on the video with the same exact tractor and mower.
Here's some measurements off my 4710 if it helps. When you disconnect the sway bars you can bring the arms in to 20 inches center to center so it's not the draw bar bracket stopping it, it's the sway bars limiting them. Looks like the implement manufacture would have made two different attachment points for the lower arms. One for cat 1 and another for cat 2. That's how all mine seem to be set up.

Hmm str8 6 go to 20” and the op’s only to about 30” . Something doesn’t add up. I would pull the pins in the top of the lift links where they attach to the rockshaft arms, check and make sure the pivot balls in the top of lift links are free to move. Lubricate them well and free them up if there corroded or painted stuck. I would also check the pivot balls in the arms where they attach to axle, all 4 of these pivot balls need to be completely free to swivel. If any of them are corroded or painted stuck it will cause your issue.

So I guess next step is for OP to pull the pins on anti sway bars and see if lift arms will actually come in closer to fitting implement

A little off topic but what type of lynch pin is this....

I'm contacting another owner of this same unit because I want to make sure its made correctly. Either way, this is simply NOT made to CAT 2 standards. Everything I've read online says 32 inches between the arms.
Correct, the photos I uploaded don't really show it well unfortunately.
His narrow to 20" when he disconnects the sway bar, I can do this as well but it's not really an ideal solution. Isn't the point of making implements to a certain standard so that they will fit properly?

I did do this. I am able to attach it if I disconnect one of the sway bars. Honestly I don't really view this as a great solution..

The stabilizers should just slide in and out. It's a telescopic design. The thread portion allows for fine tuning.
The telescopic sway bars do slide in and out with the pins removed but they won't allow enough movement to get below 32" at the ball ends. It's a true cat 2 system and by those standards the tractor is exact. This isn't one of those 50hp or 60hp three points that's marketed as cat 1/2. Those would have no problem hooking up to that cutter. The cutter that says it fits a cat 2 system is where the problem is. I should have taken one of the sway bars apart to make sure it wasn't binding but it looks like it's just at the end of its travel and that's all it's got which is more than enough for a cat 2 system. You know, I have a 6' woods bush hog that's built just like the cutter mentioned in this post. I bet it won't fit this tractor.
