New T474 Can't Open Hood and 3 Point Hitch Swinging Side/Side (see pics)

[TractorTYMe]

Yes, on 3 point....see them little tabs sticking out underneath......use a tie down strap on those to keep the 3 point arms together

All 3 point hitches swing if not stabilized PERIOD

On my tractor the check links keep them from hitting the tires. His seem to be missing.

Chain style check links will not stop out swinging.
His picture doesn't show them as they are behind the lift arms.
If you expand the photo and look to the rear of the right lift arm you can see something there.

Install a drawbar or other 3PH item. I doubt arms will hit tires and it won't do any damage if they do graze them. There is usually control chains to limit side movement.
RTFM people.

I have a Kioti CK25ht. The radiator guard is bolted in place. Could not get the hood up. Tractor supply for bolts and spacers to bring the grill guard out far enough to raise the hood and put the loose fuse back in to restart.

See page 2-34 in your operators manual regarding the check links on the three point hitch lower arms.

Edit: I'm assuming that the checklinks can adjusted to shorten enough keeping the lift arms from hitting tires.

With an attachment or spreader bar on the 3-pt the left check link is tightened until the right side has an inch of clearance. Then adjust the right link to keep the left tire clear.
