Somehow bent mine almost 90 degrees somewhere along the line. Need to order a replacement. I could heat and pound I guess but that would probably un temper the metal so that it bends again in a stiff breeze.

XR Owners, have you found anyone that is stocking parts for our tractors yet? I suppose any model link would work as long as it is the right length.

OK, 45 degrees.

stabilizer arms, or sway bar arms, or check bars/chains, would most likely land you on a good place to find correct part type. taking a guess, you had something on 3pt hitch, and left it down in the dirt and turned, causing the bar to buckle/bend. vs raising the item up before you turned.

you might find a 3rd party generic setup for your setup. but unsure.

Raising before you turn? Never considered that you need too. Sure enough I have not been. The plots I'm working are big enough that I was just going round and round to the middle.

I'm pretty sure pushing piles of stuff backwards with the box blade contributed, even then I was backing and turning.

Bet yer bippie I'll be lifting from now on! I'm a 100% noob so take the lessons as that come I guess.

3pt hitches are awesome at pulling stuff, but as soon as you put some side to side play (turning) and or backing up with something, the 3pt hitch will quickly take a beating. they simply don't have the re-enforcement to handle twisting forces and bending forces, when ya turn and back up with stuff on the 3pt hitch and on the ground or in the ground. ya they can take some what of a beating, but at a certain point, they just break/bend vs what they would do if you were moving forward, and pulling something.

I guess this 3pt bull dozer blade I've been designing in my head isn't the great I idea it sounded to me.

a 3pt hitch rear blade, were ya moving forward, to grade driveway and like works awesome, but as soon as ya pull the bolts/pins and spin it around 180 degrees, it will work for some easy light weight snow pushing (small amount of loose dirt) to clear out a spot, but any heavy duty stuff, and well... the blade will most likely be kissing the tires if not tangled up in the tires.

if ya want a bull dozing blade, then also re=think about mounting to the FEL (Front end loader) arms, you could cause the FEL arms to twist on you. just because it sounds good doesn't mean it will work good without tearing something up quickly. granted you may get away with stuff up to a certain point, but once ya hit that point, it all goes ugly fast :/ and for myself "Murphy law" generally always hovering around waiting for the slightest thing for me. though that may be my own fault. pushing things to edge.

Yeah..... about the FEL..... Already bent that a bit too. Out at one of the plots, while trucking down the trail to another plot, trying to light a cigarette....... found a 20" pine tree real quick, so quick it popped the smoke out of my mouth and put a face mark on the front glass. The left side mount is 1/2" closer to the cab than the right side....

I did put a red ribbon around that one for the logger next spring.

Well......looks like the XR series stabilizers aren't any stronger than the R series. So much for that upgrade idea when I bend one.

*chuckles* i can say i have not twisted the arms on the FEL YET, i am sure i have came very close though. but i have ran over a good tree in the yard.....

my excuse, it was near night time, sun was nice and level with ground and shining into my eyes, and glare on the front glass as well. i got around the well and a yard hydrant but well... the tree just never saw it, heard it, or even felt it, till after i looked back and saw the top branches still stuck under the rear tires. thankfully tree was still small enough / young enough that i could stake / tie it off with some ropes, it took a few years to grow out of that incident, (still has a scare mark)

if ya haven't busted/bent/dinged something ya not out there working *thumbs up with a smile*

hit your local tractor supply, farm king, farm and fleet or like tractor store in your area, you might be able to pick up what you need. might be worth while to take your current bent ones with you. to match up holes / lengths.

i doubt you will find much more beefer stabilizer arms than what you already have. if things were super strong, you would more likely bust the rear end of the tractor casings, vs a simple bar that can be replaced fairly easy without hauling it into some local tractor repair place.
