I bent my 3 point hitch, lower link while plowing. (BX25)
Dec 29 2008, 9:20 PM EST
I discovered while plowing snow in reverse that the lower link can be bent easily. I don't remember anything special that happened the other night, but I discovered a lot of play in the back blade and when I inspected it closely noticed one link bent slightly. I removed the right link and pressed it straight again. It was suprising how the mild steel pressed flat and these links 5/8X 3 " links . I posted some pictures in my photos. (Dakota) for the curious......

The same thing happened to me. Another operator was plowing in reverse and rammed a snowdrift. Not good. Mine was bent badly enough (and the turnbuckle) that I ordered replacement parts. Baby is a good tractor, but baby is still a baby.

Well after straighting it, I bent it again yesterday. I was being carefull, but pushing a lot of snow when it fetched again on something. I'll strengthen it this time with some flat bar on top and bottom. The steel is very mild. You couldn't push dirt the way it is now!
