3 pt stabilizers

[Anonymous-0]

I looked at 3 pt stabilizer bars at TSC the other day, they are sort of expensive, but are they worth it? Most people I have seen only use them for drawbars, would they be good for use with my bush hog, blade, and forks also?

Thanks

Thye are good to use with most things. Keep thing like the brush hog right behind you so as not to jump side to side in ruff ground etc and same for most other things

Mine didn't have them when I got the tractor (blade/bush hog, major uses) ...... first thing I got .... course I like it when it's stiff..... :mrgreen:

I use TSC stabilizer bars on my 8N with a 6 foot finish mower all the time. I wouldn't be without them. They make a huge difference in the tracking of the mower. Well worth the price.

always use stabilizer bars no questions asked.. it will save you lots of money in the long run. with out them it will wear out the lower link on your lift arms from the swinging. and if you bushhog alot the constant side to side jerking can put uneeded pressure on your pto shaft causing wear.
and saves you time when you hog the brush not going back to cut what you missed

I use them when using blade, bush hog and draw bar, but they should not be used when plowing. IMHO.

I don't have any and the implements are all over the place. I am thinking of making up a set. Could someone tell me the length of them? I seen the ones at tsc are adjustable.Can I make them just one certain length or are they adjustable for a reason?

Don't get confused between the Stabilizer arms and the Stay straps. The stay straps are adjustable, but not the Stabliers arms. Check the parts page on this site, shows both and the length of the stabilier bars.

I made a pair out of 3/8" by 1 3/4" wide flat stock a couple of years ago when I had access to a machine shop. Don't remember the overall length or hole spacing. They work great. All they cost was my time. I use them for bush hoggin'

I bought the adjustable stabilizers. I have a mower, bushhog, blade, tiller and a hilling plow. They are all different and need an adjust of the stabilizer bars, depending on which one I use.

I use mine on everything I have, my property is all hill ( between mountains) so without them everything goes to the bottom side of the hill.

I use them on my mower. Wouldn't even try it w/o them on.
Use chains on my disc.
Nothing needed on my spreader.

Thank you everybody. I went to TSC the other day and bought the adjustable ones. To say they make a world of difference is an understatement.
