ROSEY:
The lift arm jig is an adapter I fabricated to raise the lift height of some of the larger implements I have aquired. I found a older 5' harley rake sitting by the road a few years ago. The owner sold it to me, but he used it on an older L-series Kubota. My BX 2200 could only lift it 3"-4". I thought that raising the attachment point 6" would equal to 12"+ at the end of the implement, which it will. That extra height allows for loading these on the trailer, without the implement digging into the ground, or the trailer lip.
The adapter is made up of the following items:
1- cat. #1 drawbar
2- weld-on liftarm ends
approx. 4' of square tubing (2"x3") that fits over your draw bar
approx. 1' of 3/8" x 3" flat bar steel
2- 3/8" x3" hitch pins
and a welder, or friend with a welder...
The adapter first mounts on your implement, then you attach the adapter to your 3 point hitch.
The stand that you refer to on the landscape rake comes standard on most Woods equipment. It may not on the estate series for the sub-compacts.
As it's Easter morning, I need to get off the computer. If you are interested, I will post some more pictures of the adapter at the end of the week. I'm on duty the next three dayshifts, which will be full of activity, with 2+" of rain forecast. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
