Adjusting the Sway Links

Adjust the sway links on the lower draft arms of the

3-point hitch to keep side-to-side sway to a maximum

of less than 1 inch (25 mm) on each side.

1. Adjust the lower links until they contact the

aerator mounting plates. This will reduce the

stress on the pins. If the tractor has sway chains

instead of sway links, washers should be installed

between the lower link arm and the lynch pin to

reduce the load on the lift pins.

NOTE: Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for

additional installation and adjustment procedures
