I can just buy the arm for the sum mentioned. Just seems a bit steep for one arm and not so sure it should of broken. Not so sure about the weight bouncing either but maybe.

Your local engineer will make you a new arm cheaper than that.

Do you use any front mounted equipment or is it just for a weight.
Front tank which can only fit half a ton of seed a time. No soil engaging equipment.

Yes. CNH variation on T7 long wheelbases and Magnum. Same arm though on both. Keep bushes in stock a regular wear part and when they wear it can shock load arm. When under warranty we had them replaced too often - even had CNH service guy inspect. He suggested it was fair wear and tear until he was told the bushes were less than 14 days old. Unsurprisingly new bushes appeared very soon after. Weak design.

Lots of drivers lift it to the top, needs to be just down from the top to allow the accumulators to float the shock loads out.

Weight or post knocker should be in the back, fixed holes. Topper or press or something would want to be in the front floating holes. At least that's how I have our stuff. Not had a problem and been running Lynx since 2004.

I think I may have one of those- new one never fitted - is it straight one with hook welded at angle ?

Doesnt look like a five ton linkage, my 3 ton looks a lot stronger than that
It was sold as a 5 ton linkage so I guess so but only have the salesmans word for it currently. It’s on a JD 8RT and they supposedly only do the 5 ton linkages for those.
I’d have to look

A mate Had this happen on the buckrake tractor that was a 3.5t linkage but pretty sure the arms are all the same it’s just the rams that are different
