3 pt lift arms

[skeets]

I think I did ask before but I will try again. The 3pt on the "B" raises and lowers the MMM just like the BX however the ares dont have any place you can hang them from like the BX. And when you back up they bump in to things or dig into the dirt, SO has anybody come up wit a good way to secure the arms? And a bungy cord would work but its not a solid solution. Ideas, pictures, anybody ?

I don't have MMM for my BX23S and the 3PH kit is still in the box after 3 years... but....
could you just take off the 3ph arms while mowing ?
If most of the time, you're not using the 3PH, it'd make sense to store them(and the lynch pins) somewhere safe...take picture of WHERE you store them though..
I can see it being a pain though if you're flipping back between the two 'operations'.

Skeets,

Could you place a piece of pipe - rebar , or even a "nice" stick of wood in the two lift arm swivel balls and then use a limit chain to keep them from sagging down?

same concept as holding a 3 point cutter at a certain height

I was kinda hoping for something a bit cleaner if you understand, but thanks for the idea

My L came with a bungie to hold them together. If you had a quick hitch on, that would “hold” the arms, too. The would be limited/held by the top link setting.

Really, any lightweight 3 pt attachment would work.

So ........ do you want them as close together or as far apart as possible? I was thinking the latter?

 

[skeets]

I want to put them up out of the way,, I would thunk the big K woulda thought of that. I dont think the cross bar that holds the SMV or the small tool box would support them but I could be wrong

Maybe a straight bar through the end of them, with a T that goes up and hooks into the top link holes?

Go on and off in a minute, and keep them safely at the topmost travel.
