3-Point Hitch Adding anti sway stabilizers?

[ElmerPhudd]

Hello, is it possible to add rigid stabilizers to the lift arms as replacements for the sway chains to an International 404 or Massey Ferguson 165?
Thanks

What about a bar hole stabilizer? The example is for Ford, but should be adaptable.

i'd imagine something like that should work.. mf and ford rear geometry is darn close..

I'm planning to add this to my new to me Ford Industrial tractor. IMO one would be enough. I've been using a single anti-sway bar on my ag tractors for years, I haven't seen a downside yet.

1 will bend faster.. but in light duty conditions will work ok.

remember.. rigid stabilizers don't like to be in compression. ie.. pushing backwards makes pretzles out of them generally...

I abuse the **** out of mine and haven't bent one yet...Of course that might just be the natural superiority of the Ford tractor, lol.

i've only ever bent one in reverse, never going forward..
