How Low BX25 3 pt

[bxn]

Also ran into a binding problem with the 3pt.

I like the easy change idea pto impact aside also the dual adjusting links.
This is easier when you have a stand vs. an implement jack not to have to take of the non-adjusting side first.

For my snow blower I slacked off my safety chains all the way and was able to move the lower hitch pins on the implement to point toward the inside rather than face out. This way there was less binding with the upper lift arms. This bought a little more downward (not measured).

It might make better sense on the snow blower because backing up the hitch pushes to the outside which is now the implement frame rather than the lynch pin.

There were two holes and I used the bottom one now.

Cheers,

remember reading a post on TBN somewhere about it being possible to install the 3pt hitch arms backwards which results in less downward travel? not sure. i can't look at mine right now, plus i would assume you've already considered that anyway.

just thought i'd throw it out there.
