Hello. New North Carolina owner of a 3035D. Second day with the tractor and while using a land plane, I managed to bend the bolt on the adjustable link end. I believe the part is called the Yoke Link End, LVA14830.

Curious if anyone else has had this issue as it seems to be a weak point in the design if I can't push the plow backwards.

Thank you!
Jay

Just the one side, it caught on a rock and twisted. I have ordered a replacement and hopefully it was a fluke.

Appreciate all the replies. Twenty years on this mountain and driveway with a smaller tractor, while maintaining a 1/4 mile steep gravel driveway leads to a learning curve with a larger tractor with more horsepower. Fortunately, I never move fast while pulling the land plane and it was an easy fix. Part of the reason I prefer a gear tractor in the ability to control the speed of travel while maintaining power.
