rbtj,
Attached photo shows my stabilizer bars with my 3x16's plow. In my opinion, each implement requires it's own three point hook up "settings". IE; top link distance for plows, back blades, box blades and so forth. The lower arms on some tractors have adjustments for each lower arm or just one. On my plow hook up as you can see on the photo the stabilizer bars are pinned with about 1" play each. It equals at the end of the 3rd beam about 3" of lateral movement. Without a stabilizer bar on some tractors (because of the hook up width of the implement) a tire/implement connection will occur. Seen this happen and what it does to a tire. Fitfy years ago on our 2n we had a straight bar stabilizers put on for the plow and also for the multi-holed draw bar. But the 3020 JD had none as we used tandem hook ups on that tractor.
