Hog N Das

(quoted from post at 12:40:19 08/24/16) I got my Brush Hog 3-pt connection quandary resolved.

I mounted the lower link pins on the insides of the A Frame with a few shims to narrow the pin-to-pin distance more.

The fact that my lower arms were splayed out so wide that I could barely connect my sway bars, also brought the Cutter in too close to my tires and riding off center as well.

Was starting to think about changes to my sway bars, or using chains instead when I measured the pin separation on my other attachments and found how much closer together they were.

You're probably right and I was contemplating trying my other regular sway bars

BUT . . . If I did that my lower link arms would be waaay out wide again, which draws the whole mower deck much too close to my rear tires especially when raised -- I've already had one edge of the deck climb up the wheel when I first tried to move it.

Because these unique bars work so well on all my other attachments I'm glad they now work on this mower. For one thing I don't have to have them tied up with wire like I've seen some normal bars when not in service on an attachment. These bars also have lower link balls at the differential ends.

My other 6 attachments have 24" to 26.5" from pin mount to pin mount. This MF Cutter has a whopping [b:0ce930711c]30.5"[/b:0ce930711c] between pins so these pins are staying on the inside.

Thanks,
Terry

By "back" did you mean closer to the tractor or further away?
I assumed "further away".
