3 point lift arms?

herm0016 · Sep 13, 2019

The arms on my 5020 are about 22 inches long. My 3 point is about half way up when I attach an implement. Is there a source for these with some different length options? One adjustable by crank and one not as a set? When up all the way the bottom of my jd80 back blade is only about 8 inches off the ground.

You might have luck at Messicks. A shorter top link would give added height/clearance.

I agree with oosik that a shorter top link would help alot.
Do your arms have multiple holes to change how they mount to the three point arms. I could not tell from the picture.
My Kubota has three different holes to change the amount of lift.

I didn't see added holes in the arms either. I hesitate to suggest that added holes be drilled either. Get a shorter top link. They aren't that expensive and are available at multiple sites on the internet.

herm0016 this is what I was referring to. I could not make out if yours was this way from the pic. If not and there is enough room you may be able to drill yours to gain lift.

It looks like to me the upper lift arms are not going all the way up for some reason. I would check control arm for play and other linkage. Also the feed back adjustment could be way off and shutting off the 3pt way before it should.

This top link is a cat 1. Seems like I would not be able to keep the implement level with a shorter one?

The sides do not have different holes and there is no room to drill them.

I did find some sides that went from 20 to 15 with 3 holes but wondered if there was any standard for this? My bottom links nearly touch the ground when full down, when full up the lift arms are about 2 inches from the seat. The picture is with the blade on the ground.

ah, what i am actually looking for is the adjustable side links. i found this, but am looking for its adjustable partner, fine with the turn buckle type, as the crank is quite expensive. I also need to crank my all the way up and see what the range is.

in that pic, my blade is on the ground, the arms to go up almost to the seat when its all the way up. the lower arms nearly touch the ground when its all the way down with no implement on it. when i hook up my carryall, the arms are almost half way up when the "forks" are on the ground.

a shorter top link will not allow me to level the carryall or the blade.

any other source for arms that adjust aprox to these lengths? i find many listings, but most are for a certain tractor, and do not list the max and min lengths between the pins.

looking for a max of 23 or a bit less and min of maybe 18 or so.

heim joint top and fork w/ multiple holes bottom.
