460/560 Fast Hitch

higgi1951 · Aug 24, 2009

When I use the baler on my 460 I lock the arms up. So that they dont come up as I go through hills( Learned that the hard Way ) but now It rocks forward and back...I have to believe there should be a pin to install or something, I have had the teledepth Draft control Up and Down and doesnt matter. or is this they way they all are ? Looked at buddies 560 and It has the same thing. You can grab the draw bar and swing the entire assembly back about 4 inches. Help Please

I haven't tried to pull it back, but the arms make a V shape and pull from underneath, about where the standard drawbar would attach. There may be a couple of inches slop in the attaching point, that would be normal, 4 sounds like something is loose. Will look next time I'm in my shop.

There will always be some slop in the fast hitch because of wear.

4" front to back means that something is broken. Look at where the hitch attaches to the tractor under the belly. On our 560, some bracket up under there broke on us a couple of times over the years. It was a long time ago and I was too young to pay much attention to exactly what was broke. The hitch would move front to back quite a bit when it broke. You need to get it back in place and weld the crap out of it.

The front anchor point swings about 3 inches not counting any play in parts. Putting a pin in bellcrank and handle all the way down helps, thats about as good as it gets without welding parts to the front anchor to make a way to pin it. See if the roller near bottom of handle is okay or still there.
