Howse LTR20822C Disc Harrow & iMatch

[Neophyte]

My brother and I recently adapted my Howse LTR20822C 6' Disc Harrow to my iMatch. The Disc Harrow was purchased by my father at an auction back around 1994. It has been sitting in a field since then and it needs some improvement. At some point, I will be breaking it down and re-painting it.

The iMatch conversion on this unit was not quite as simple as my Landpride attachments.

Here is a picture of what the lift arms and lift arm braces look like from the factory.

The existing upper link hole was too high for the iMatch so we had to bring it down. My brother fabricated the following bracket to install between the lift arms.

We installed the bracket between the lift arms. Due to the added width from the bracket, we moved the lift arms to the outside of the harrow brackets. We also had to move the lift arm braces to the outside of the lift arms and to the outside of the lower brackets on the harrow. We added the JD iMatch Bushing Kits and we were good to go.

I have posted some overview pictures of the disc harrow in my photo gallery.
