3pt hitch - adjustable side link use & does anyone ever add a second adjustable?

On worrying about stress on the lift arms, the hydraulic pressure relief valve (2500 psig give or take) will pop off long, long, before you need to worry about bending or breaking any forged steel! Besides what does your whole tractor weigh; 1500#?

I can vouch for the strength and quality of the Omni Transformer.

Very versatile:

What do you call the adjustable bar/rod that fits BETWEEN the lift arms holding them in constant width? Do they serve a purpose, are they worthwhile? Guess they would help if you were always picking up the same impliment.....

Never have seen this, but it is not a drawbar.

Your picture is titled "Lift Bar", need more information.

ya got me there not a draw bar specifically, but bungie strap, to keep the lower arms from bouncing into tires and/or to reduce some side to side play in lift arms when 3pt hitch has something on it. and/or to keep lower lift arms from getting into PTO shaft, if there is a trailer/pull type implement on back, that does not connect to 3pt hitch but to swaying draw bar below pto on tractor.
