Adjustable rigid stabilizers for 3 Pt Jinma / Farm Pro

[kjnwi]

Has anyone found (other than custom) these that work for these tractors, rather than the chains? I致e got a single tab under the rear axle so I can稚 use the Jinmas off the upgrade model.

Replacements for the sway chains? If that's what you are referring to.

 

[kjnwi]

Yes I would like to replace the chains with a solid adjustable bar.

 

[Bob Rooks]

Let us know how it works out for you.

Here is what came on my Jinma 284. They don't take all the play out and the holes don't always line up the best for some implements

That looks like they are for controlling the spread of the lift arms. No?

 

[piper184]

Yes, and they also help control the side to side sway. Most times I can pin one arm tight but the other one does not line up with a hole so I use the slot instead.
Here is a view from a different angle.
3 point hitches are a great invention. They are also a PITA! I am sure if there were something better, it would have been invented by now. I bought a quick hitch adapter but it has it's own set of problems. IF all of my implements had exactly the same measurements for the 3 points it would work great. Unfortunately the standard is fairly "loose" and dimensions vary enough to make them not all fit. One of these days I will re-work all the implements to make them match. In my spare time of course. :laughing:

That’s what I’m looking for but I just have a single “tab” coming off the axle plate and not the u-channel on the upgraded axle plates. I guess I’ll have to modify the single tab to work with the Jinma stabilizers. I thought maybe someone has run into the same issue and had a work around.

 

[piper184]

If you think the single tab is strong enough, you could just bolt the front end of the adjuster to the tab. Washers on both sides of the swivel ball and either a castle nut and cotter key or a self locking nut. Heck, it doesn't even have to be metric.

One major thing to be aware of while changing to and at times even with the chain type stabilizers is the geometry of the mounting points and the arms in relation to the lift arms.
The mounting point of the stabilizers will need to be in the same plane as the mounting points of the lift arms.
Fore and aft as well as height, if not as the lift arms rise and lower either the spacing at the ends will change or the length required for the stabilizers will change.
