Problems fitting King Cutter Subsoiler combo on Kubota BX2230

[bigbadinpittsburgh]

I just bought a King Cutter Sub Soiler Combo for by BX2230. I can’t seem to get the Top Link to fit and have clearance to travel. Has any else had this problem?

I had to pry apart the top link fitting on the subsoiler to get it to fit on the 3pt on my Kubota B7510HST. Used a large chisel and sledge hammer together with some 1/4" thick steel shims to get enough clearance for the top line to work OK.

I had the same trouble with mine on my TC18. I pryed it apart and made a spreader out of 3/4" cold roll to keep it apart.

Same here, got mine 2 weeks ago. I took a splitting wegde/ bar of steel and a 4lbs sledge, hit it a couple times until it got just enough clearance...you dont' want to spread it too much or the top-link pin will bust your chops trying to silde thru smoothly.
