Messicks Stabilizer Installation

[Rob18530]

installed these feild ready stabilizers tonight

Photo 1: Shows the product
Photo 2: I inverted the steel bracket that hold the stabilizer to the tactor. It nows sits vertical rather than dropping down a bit. By inverting it I gained a a couple of centimeters in addition space for any rear PTO attachments
Photo 3: New pins and clips that came with the kit. I only used two of those amd elected to go with a difference pin for ease of readjusting the 3 point hitch.
Photo 4: Shows the left stabilzer installed without the adjustment pins
Photo 5: Shows the pins that came with the kit.
Photo 6: Is the pins I installed rather than the factory supplied pins
Photo: 6 & 7 Show the completed installation on both right and left sides.
Photo 7: is the old stabilizers.

I think the upgrade was well worth the money. The ease and simplicity of adjusting the lift arms is GOLD in my books.

Removal and install time. 20-30 minutes including cleanup.

I've had mine for about a year. Big improvement over OEM arms.

I added an extra pin in each stabilizer. Most of the time, 2 holes line up just enough. It will be more rigid.

I would have bought yours, but when i contacted you, a 6 month wait was just to long to wait. And i`ve not seen or heard of anyone yet, that has broke theirs that bought them from amazon for $119 bucks.

They will. I build my BX sets with bigger, heavier duty materials than an L series comes with, and some customers have broken mine.
Again, that begs the question- are they warranted?

I`m going on 2yrs with my Amazon Stabilizers, no cracks, no wear, none broken.

So, if i were to buy your stabilizers for my BX23s:
1) How long before i would even get them
2) How much are you charging for them
3) What are you charging for shipping
4) What does your warranty cover
5) How long is YOUR warranty

I have no connection with Kubota or Hodge. Telescoping stabilizers are something I wouldn't want to be without. I can truthfully say:

I bent factory stabilizers on the B7500 I had.
I bent factory stabilizers on the L3200 I had.
Comparing photos, Hodge's stabilizers look beefier than factory.

Yes, I bent the stabilizers due to operator error. Comparing photos, Hodge's stabilizers look beefier than factory

1) That varies.
2) $220.00, shipped (insured) USPS priority mail to any US state. That's for a BX set. I build stabilizers for hundreds of makes/models, so other prices vary. I ship internationally, also.
4) Defects or damage from reasonable service. I've built 4,553 sets, with less than 20 warranty claims. The majority of those were due to user error (damage from stabilizers interfering with tires, bolts coming loose, etc), but I've never turned down a customer. At less than .05% failure rate, I can afford to take care of my customers.
5) 1 year. However, I've covered issues as far back as 8 years. Again, at such a small number of issues, I can afford to. It is good business.
6) I answer emails/calls from 6 in the morning to 9 or 10 at night, 7 days a week. If you don't believe it, my customers will attest to it.
