So I did a thing... Agria 8900D

Another thought is making an adjustable chain or cable X assembly between the two lower 3pt arms maybe adjustable with turnbuckles to prevent racking of the arms similar to how it is done with a gate or lightweight construction like in the pic. This could be a minimal space solution

Edit: I suppose "racking" isn't the correct term here as the pivot points are fixed but I'm sure you get my meaning

This kind of tractor is extremely rare to even see in the USA.

I've seen a couple of videos from some Pasquali tractors in the US. Pasquali tractors are very similar to this one.

Once I finish it, I'll take some pictures of it side by side with the Branson. That will give a good perception on the size of it.

The vertical plate is your stabilizer. You could make additional lower arms with offsets to make the spacing narrower or wider.

This is how it is done on a John Deere 2640. You can invert the blocks to change the spacing.

You could also put a large bolt and locknut through the lower 3pt arms that rides on the edge of that vertical plate and could be adjusted for over width attachments

Although I have seen pictures, I have never seen one like yours in person in Middle Tennessee, USA.

So far as the 3pt hitch goes, not having telescoping arms isn't as much a hinderance if you don't change implements often or if they aren't really heavy. I think telescoping arms are more advantageous when implements are frequently changed or they are so heavy that they become a pain to move into position.

I was aware that some JD models had that. Mine are fixed though, no way to adjust, but you did game me an idea of either add shims on the inside of the arms or machine a wedge that slides back and forth to adjust for different spacing.

I have the Euro hooks on my Branson. It came standard with those. After using them, I really wouldn't go for anything left. Just back up to the implement with the arms under the lower pins of the implement that have the balls fitted, lift the 3 pt and it's latched. Don't even need to man handle the arms.

I won't get them for the Agria because I don't think I'm going to change implements all that often. Most of the implements stay with the Branson in the remote propriety and the Agria will have it's proprietary tiller attached if I decide to keep it. A set of Cat 1 hooks is about $140, not that expensive for the convenience of it.

Preliminary stages of the dashboard, although, not much will change. Just missing the indicator switch in the middle. Need to machine a new lever for that as the plastic one was too brittle and broke.

Just ignore the fact that some idiot slapped the tachometer/hour meter behind the front locker lever. The very same idiot, in order to avoid breaking the key for the ignition, stored it so well that now can't find it anywhere.

I can't believe that won't bug you enough to relocate the tach, lol.

It bothers me a little bit, just not enough to change it.

The angle of that picture makes it look worse than it is. Looking from the seal, the handle only blocks a little bit at the bottom. I can still see the RPM easily.
