See attached photo, I saw these on a Mahindra the other day.

In case you've never seen one before, if you're hitching an implement you would back up to the implement, get close.
Get off the tractor, release the clip on the top of the arm, extend the ball section out to the implement, hook it on, repeat for the other side.
Back on the tractor, reverse up until the arms lock back into their normal location.
This would save a lot of work hooking up implements that don't move easily.

I want to buy these as an accessory that I can weld onto my existing plough arms, but can't find anyone who sells them.

Are there any suggestions from folks here ?

Why don't you just replace the factory ones with similar length ones from another tractor? Most of the time they are on larger category 2 machines since the implements cannot be easily wrangled.

What RedNeckRacin says........ New 3-point arms with extendable ends could be expensive but I see on other way. And yes, they definitely are the cat's meow when it comes to hooking up implements - especially the really heavy ones.

Build snug fitting sleeves to go over your arms. Cut the arms in half and bolt the sleeves solidly to the tractor side and "quick pin" them to the implement side. Use grease so they don't rust and lock themselves on solidly.

If you search for extendable or telescoping 3 point lower arms you will find many machines with them. Our Kubota L3830 came with them and they are very nice.
