3pt hitch adjustable side link bent

[jedens]

My adjustable side link got bent when I acidentially raised my 3pt hitch while my backhoe (frame mounted) was mounted over it. I've got a Kubota L4610 and the side link has a crank handle on it. Do I have to order one from kubota or does someone make an aftermarket one (hopefully one that is stronger than the stock one).

The only aftermarket lift links I know of are engineered for specific older mass produced tractors. Perhaps one would spec out similar to yours. I wouldn't look for one much stronger, something more expensive than a lift link may be vulnerable then. NH applications disable the hitch when the hoe is installed, a good safety feature.

if you post a pic we may be able to recomend a fix or suitable replacement, it might be something fixable by bending it back, or im thinking possibly one of the aftermarket ford tractor ones may be able to be modified to fit with bushing etc
