Awesome telescoping stabilizers!

[Fro65]

Mr. Hodge has another very satisfied customer. My stabilizers for my L3301 arrived at my house Monday but, due to work, I couldn't try them until today.
What a difference! So much nicer and easier than turnbuckles.
Absolutely top notch craftsmanship too.
Here is a couple of pictures showing OEM turnbuckles and then my new stabilizers.

Hodge is a master at his craft! Another great addition to an almost perfect tractor!

Where do I get a pair and what do they cost. Bought a new l3901 and the dealer told me turn buckles were the only style available

I ordered mine with my new tractor from the Kabota Dealer. I believe he said they were standard on the Grand L. It was a $175 upgrade. I have not tried them yet.

I asked the same question just a few weeks ago
Here is the thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22366&highlight=hodge
His are beefier than any factory version I have seen.
PM him and go from there.

I'm sure glad to see him doing them again, I bought two sets some years ago and they are great.

Not much option! With a grandchild on the way, the extra income is helpful.

I am still making them, as long as I don't get backlogged like before. A moderate flow of orders works; months of orders is hard to keep up with, not that I am complaining, or blaming customers. Balance is often a struggle.

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your grandchild, they are a real joy.

They sure look better than the factory . When I bought my new L3901 I got them as part of the deal. I really like the way Hodge are welded with an offset angle to them ,you can open your lower link arms a lot wider than with the factory parts. I would not buy the factory parts . I would spend the money for the Hodges. You really need to be careful with the factory stabilizers ,if you don't adjust them to take most of the play out of them you CAN rub the inside of your brand new tires. DONT ASK me how I know this. If you don't currently have adjustable stablizers,Buy Once, Cry Once. Spend your $ wisely. Just my 2 cents worth.

That's funny! You get an A for determination!
I have been on a Winter break, and I'm building a new welding shop. I will start back up, part time, later this Spring- and I'm going full time in the Fall.

Thanks! It will be welcome!
I've told people to think of Robert Duval, in Days of Thunder- building a race car in a dusty old barn. That's me. Dirt floors, poor light, no heat. The new shop won't be high tech, but it'll have a wood stove, concrete floor, great lighting, and plenty of outlets. I'm easy to please.
