I feel sure this has been covered - I couldn't find it in the archive -

If I hook up an implement to the back of my 4410 and lift it on the 3 point link, when viewed from the back of the tractor the left hand side of the implement hangs down - so the implement is at a slight angle - I have a grass cutter/collector which always seems to fill first on the left, I guess it just cuts a little more grass on that side..


I am sure you can adjust this - the right hand arm of my 3-point link had some kind of adjuster - I couldn't figure out how to do it - obviously I'd like the implement to be level

Anyone who has come across this and can explain it simply enough for me to understand (I mean really simple!!) - I'd be very grateful

The right hand link has a crank with a wire bail over it. By lifting up the wire bail and turning the crank, you can raise and lower the right link.

Sounds simple, but most of the time the crank won't turn because it freezes up from non-usage, and you need to free it up with some penetrating oil on the threaded portion of the rod.

The right might also have a slightly different adjuster. It is like a huge winged turnbuckle that you slide up and turn slightly, drop down on two pins and then turn to adjust. The left can also be adkusted, but requires tools
