3-Point Hitch BX25 3 point lowering question

[94BULLITT]

In the 1st pic. look at the left arm and see the U shape part of the lift link. It's right in the middle. In the 2nd pic. you can see the lower U hook up and it's right in the middle and they stay in the middle all the way up and down. You can see at the bottom where I done some welding and looks almost like the right link. What I had to do was cut it turn 180 deg. and move it right to edge of the U part. What was go on, as it went up and down it was bending both U brackets. This was done with lower link arms 26" apart. That is what a std. cad 1 hitches should be. As you go up and down now with yours the lower links want to move in and out without anything on them. Maybe with the check chains it's OK. Good way to tell if it's trying to lockup, see if you can move the lower links side to side when all the way up. Mine moves.
Hope this helps or give you some ideal what to look for.

If you don't mind me asking how much did the remotes cost? I would like to get a set for mine.

OK! I drilled the holes in the lower links as it was suggested at 2" closer to the tractor. I did check that it would work. (2" is about max) That solved the problem with the ballast box not touching the ground when lowered all the way, with room to spare. I didn't measure but it looked like the lower links were at around 3-4 inches off the ground at the bottom with nothing on them. The adjustable lift rod that I ordered is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday, which I will install on the left side. That will give me even more drop if ever needed. I will also have lots of options between the original lower link holes and the new ones, plus I will have more adjustment with the adjustable lift rods on each side.

I not sure, thinking $400.00 for one set. The tractor came from another dealer and I think that dealer had put 2 on it, so I got the 2nd set free, I only ordered 1 set.

Sounds like you got it going now. I don't think you will be able to tell the differents in lifting power. Sure it is some but not much and you can always switch it back.
