STABILIZERS (3-POINT LINKAGE MODELS ONLY)
Standard Stabilizer Types Identification
As standard, 3-point linkage machines are fitted with either a ‘slotted’ type stabilizer or a ‘multi-hole’ type
stabilizer; the particular one used is dependent on the specific machine build. Machines with Standard Arm-
Sets use the ‘slotted’ type and machines with Midcut or VFR Arm-Sets use the ‘multi-hole’ type.
For
identification refer to the illustrations below.
On machines equipped with multi-hole type stabilizers it is vital that the stabilizer position
pin is always removed for machine transport and only fitted for work. Failure to observe this
can result in serious damage to machine and/or tractor components.
Position Pin Fitting & Removal (Multi-Hole Type Stabilizers)
Insertion or removal of the position pin is best performed while the machine is transport position as the forces
acting on the stabilizer are greatly reduced. This will make the task of insertion or removal much easier, Always
stow the position pin in a safe location when it is not in use.
Stabilizer Tongues
Bolt on stabilizer tongues are available in a wide variety of versions to suit differing makes and models of
tractors and are reversible to accommodate for greater variation in tractor linkage designs.
