Wtf

Okay other than to help pto manufacturers sell more guards, what is this the purpose of this shaped bit below the right hand arm? Left arm is smooth.

 

[icanshootwell]

Just make sure you turn left handed on the headlands. Other than that not a clue, if the other side is smooth its even more mysterious.

I expect they were like me , making stuff from the scrap pile without cleaning it up first with the nine inch...

Wind the link arms right up on a trailed machine with a PTO or remove the link arms altogether

It’s like a misprinted stamp, you have a 1 of a kind machine which is probably worth millions to a collector!?

They are wound up but fendt arms don’t seem to lift as high as some other makes.

I'd get the grinder out if you think it will be an issue

that would be far to simple

That’s what il do just puzzled by the reason behind it!

Take the pin out of the bottom of the lift arm and put it in the end with a drawbar pin on the linkage ball. That lifts the end much higher and doesn't take long to do.

 

[quavers]

would it be for a weight block that tucks under the lift arm so you don't have to use a top link , the kink in the arm saves the block resting along the rest of the arm paint work ?

@Suckndiesel There are, rightly, laws against designing things that hurt people.
This is a made to make people get hurt. Ask the manufacturer to fix it- a poor alternative would be a lifetime supply of guards.
They should ask their designers to sit next to one of their creations.

They know this but try to forget if - I would send a monthly invoice for "replacement PTO guard" They will be caught between paying it to keep you quiet and not because it will mean accepting liability.

Try and help them do the right thing.

Are you serious? How is It the manufacturers fault if the operator continually makes the same mistake? Its possible to destroy a PTO on a power harrow if you lift it too high, which manufacturer would you expect to pay for that?

Maybe but why only under one arm [emoji848]

Yea I’ve seen that done before and it would work. I just wonder what the purpose of the design is!

We have to do that with the newhollands But the valmet and valtra arms lift well up out the way
