I ordered the Kubota stabilizers with my 3200. They arrived a week after the tractor so I used the turnbuckles for a week before the dealer installed them. Problem was the telescoping stabilizers don't open nearly as wide as the turnbuckles before hitting the tires. They were nearly impossible to get some implements attached because of the way they bolt to the lift arms on the outside, there wasn't much space till they contacted the tires. Just wondering if you had any similar issues. Had I not originally had the buckles, I may not have realized the issue but I actually put the turnbuckles back on because of it.I ordered a OEM Kit from Kubota. Looks identical to the one's on the Grand L although they are a tad bit smaller. I think I paid around $175 shipped... And in my opinion, one of the best mods I did to the L3200. I hated those turnbuckles, but I guess I was used to the one's on the L3240....
The Stabilworks mechs on my B3300SU open the lower links all the way to the tires with adjustability to spare.
Right, yours are on the inside but the l3200 has the stabilizers on the outside of the lift arms. The telescopics protrude at least an inch further out on each side than the turnbuckles and hit the tires that much sooner. At the lift arm ends, the width is reduced by around 3 or 4 inches, maybe more.
What the heck, mine with r4s will only spread to 33"(I think) at the lift arm ends, and thats with the stabilizers hitting the tires. If I recall, most of the implements I use, the pins, tip to tip are around 32"ish, leaving very little wiggle room. With the turnbuckles, I get roughly 37" between lift arm ends. The way the telescoping stabilizers bolt to the lift arm causes them to be much closer to the tires than the turnbuckles at the same spread distance. I got tired of needing to back up dead nut perfect to hook up and switched back to the turnbuckles. Tightening the turnbuckles is annoying but I can hitch faster with them since I dont have to back up so perfect.I don't have any issues with width even having the R4 industrial tires. However the majority of my implements are quick hitch, which means I don't need the 3pt hitch arms to be very wide to hook up to a implement.The closest my stabilizers ever come to my tires are within 2", and that's with a old school pin type plow I own.
