[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8148804, member: 718"] What you should have is, when attached to the implement, when you take straight lines down the lower link arm length and extend those lines forward, they should meet at or ideally just ahead of the tractor’s front axle. This would provide the optimum self centring of the implement in work. The length of the lower link has no bearing on this. What matters is to match the width of the implement cross shaft with a narrowed distance between the links attachment points at the axle end. There are standards that are applied here which pertain to the category of links fitted and they are universal between tractor and implement brands. I had a Cat1 Ransomes TS90 plough many decades ago and never had a problem with the front disc Coulter fouling the links with any Cat 1 linkage tractor. Not even with tractors that had Cat2 alternative ball ends. M[B]atch ploughs are mostly bespoke built and modified of course and maybe that is where the issue lies?[/B] [/QUOTE]
