FAQ about Bushings for 3-point parts
Bushings for 3-point parts are durable components used to reduce friction and absorb shocks between moving parts in a tractor’s 3-point hitch system. They are typically positioned on joints and shafts where various implements are attached, helping to extend the lifespan of both implements and hitch components by minimizing metal-to-metal contact.
Signs that bushings need replacement include increased play, unusual noises from the hitch, excessive vibrations, or instability when using an implement. If the bushings appear visibly worn, cracked, or deformed, they should be replaced to ensure the 3-point hitch functions properly and to prevent excessive wear on other hitch components.
