Hey all,
I’m new to the tractor life. Recently picked up a 1983 Kubota B6100D. It came with a few attachments, one being a rear snowblower. I noticed when I have the snowblower on, it will sway side to side when it’s raised. It only came with one check chain, I need to get another, but my understanding is the chains only keep it in place when there tension on the chains, so when the blower is raised and no tension on the chains it sways. I’m assuming this isn’t normal? Any help is appreciated.

Having one anti sway chain is like clapping with one hand. Install a second chain and everything will stabilize,

That check chain is connected too high. Normally, the stabilizers are in the same plane as the lower lift arms, so the tension doesn't change as the 3ph goes up and down. The parts diagrams seen to show the stabilizers attached outside the lower lift arms, with the forward end attached out near the tire.
