Hi All,
I have a 1976 Ford 3600 that does not have a sway bar on it. I've been able to use it with a rear bucket and box blade without too many problems. When I use it with a bush hog the bush hog travels left and right too much for the drive shaft (shaft casing hits the bush hog). Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, sturdy, easy to use, sway bar?
EBay has a flat bar kit (looks a little weak with the flat bar) here:
FORD TRACTORS 2000 3000 4000 STABILIZER KIT. # SK23-6X | eBay
EBay has an adjustable one, here:
RH Ford Tractor Bar Hole Stabilizer 3910 4000 4500 | eBay
The adjustable one may take drilling a hole in my lift arm to get the front to attach.
Any experience with these, or suggestions for others, will be appreciated. For now, I'm planning on just one bar as it seems like it will be difficult to swap implements with two bars. My tractor does have limiting chains on it so the lift arms can only go so far but it's too far for the bush hog.
