Newbie Needs Help with PHD

[bcp]

When it was attached to the tractor, the top link was not used. (1st photo, lightened and cropped below) In the 2nd photo, the top link is just holding the PHD up for the photo.

Thanks Bruce. I first looked at the pics on my phone. Screen of course is not as large as my laptop and pic was too dark to see.

Hi, George 2615. Yes, I hooked it up with the center post directly attached to the lower hole on the receiver and it still came up too long. The picture showing it attached to the adjustable top link was just a reference to show the post hole digger. Unfortunately, it just will not work with my XG3037 as there is no more adjustment available to raise it high enough.

Just a quick question, does your tractor have 2 sets of pivot pins for the lower lift arms? If it does moving the arms to the upper pins may get you the height you need.

hghvolt, unfortunately it only has one set of pivot pins for the lower link arms. Thanks for the thought, though.

This photo I posted is of a GX3037 3pt off the internet. On the lower link arm, it shows 3 positions in which the lift arm can attach to it. This is not where the lower link attaches to the tractor or to the implement. This is where the lift arm connects. See if you have this as the hghvolt stated and move them to the top position.

Zooming in on the pictures in the original post, it looks like he's already at the top hole.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and assistance. I am going to try again this weekend when I have some spare time and recheck all of the various possible settings to see if I have missed something. Will let you all know how it goes (and will take some better pictures).
