Flail mower biting into tires

[Jeybones]

Hey all,

I just attached an old 48” flail to my b2620. Because of the ball joint attachment closest to the tractor the flail swings into and rubs against my tires, biting into them. Any advice on adjustments or attachments to prevent the arms from swinging left to right?

thanks in advance for any advice,
J

You need a sway bar ..... that will stop the movement from left to right

these are the long red bars

Not fully understanding your problem, but it sound like your turnbuckles are not adjusted to keep the implement centered and therefore off the tires. If you can't adjust them try this.

Here's something you can do. Might find them in a farm store or might have to have them made. They are metal brackets you can hook a chain link into and adjust o any length needed. One end goes on the implement pin and the other goes to the top link pin. One on both sides and implement can't swing any more then you allow by adjustment.

Those won't work on the B2920. There's nowhere to install the link pins.
Does your tractor not have turnbuckles? It should have turnbuckle stabilizers installed on the insides of the lift arms, attaching to pivot plates underneath the PTO shaft.
