sway blocks

[zieg]

JD6200 with a 3pt 7' rotary cutter attached. Do I add sway blocks to minimize sway or should it have a specified amount of movement? Thanks, Jeff

minimize but not rigid.

Agree. You want an inch or two play.

Are there any times or implements when more than a couple of inches sway would be used with a 3pt mount? Thanks, Jeff

In farming with a big tractor, there are times with a row crop cultivator or a 2-pt plow that you want them to swing - the implement itself corrects itself to a nuetral pull, and helps in steering adjustments if it can sway some.

I don't know if that translates well to the typical compact use?

Thanks Rambler, great answer.
