3PH arms hit rear tires

[acs55812]

I have not had 3PH attactments til today, now I notice that if the implement swings right or left, the lower 3PH arms rub the bars on the ag tires. Is something not adjusted right or do I just need to be careful (this can't be right can it?)?

This is on a JD 4100

Thanks
Dan

They shouldn't hit. There are chains and turnbuckles on each arm that are turned tight (at least close to tight and snug) to limit the sway of the arms.
The manual should tell you how to do it.

Read carefully what beenthere said. It the arms hit the tires, of course, they are way, way too loose. But tightening the turnbuckles until there is just a little play is also important. A little too much play on rough ground, and a heavy implement can slam back and forth enough to break a turnbuckle chain. If there is only a small amount of play, that is much less likely to happen.

Last thing: It was not immediately apparent to me at first, but the tightening the Left turnbuckle limits implement swing to the Right and vice-a-versa. Also, tighten both turnbuckles the same amount to keep the implement centered.

I just noticed this on my JD4100 with my box blade and started adjusting the turn buckles (still need to tighten up when I get the chance).

I have a YMG2000D Yanmar. I have turned the pins on all the equiptment that I could to the inside. This makes the arms further away from the tires. I agree with OkieG that chains should be kept tight with a little slack. I would watch the equiptment until I was comfortable that it will not hit. oldhippy

No matter where you go, there you are.
