McConnel has launched a new mounting system for its Power Arm hedge cutters, the four-point hitch stabiliser. The new system uses traditional three-point linkage mounting, but also connects to the tractor’s pickup hitch for an extra axis of stability.

The mounting system is easy to fit, is compatible with any mounted tractor with a pickup hitch and does not require any additional tractor brackets.

Mounting options

The four-point stabiliser kit adds to a range of McConnel mounting options that already include three-point linkage and five-point axle mounting. It can be retro-fitted and is available now for McConnel’s 55-series, 60-series, 65-series and 70-series Power Arms. Reports from users of the new system suggest that it stabilises movement in tractors with a lot of wear on the linkage.
