On my new L3200 the turnbuckles are on the outside of the lower arms to reduce sway. Is this correct? Presently I have no issues using my rake but would like to know for future 3 point implements. Please see Pix. Kubota Rake Close Up.jpg

When you used the term "check chains" I thought of another use. In the case where you have a belly mower that is raised and lowered via linkage to the three-point system, there might be the time you have lowered the arms, unintentionally, with the control lever and they may go too low, as almost on ground. There may be attachment place on your tractor for chains to keep the arms from dropping too far.

I have no mid PTO. But I still should check to see if there is a place to prevent the lowering of the arms unintentional.
Thanks again.

Check chains is another term for stabilizers. Yours are correct. There is no reasonable way to attach them to the inside of the arms on the L3200.
