Clevis joints for tractors are an essential connecting component in the tractor’s three-point hitch. They create a stable yet flexible link between the tractor and the implement – allowing smoother movements, reducing wear, and improving both safety and service life. At Sagro, you’ll find clevis joints suitable for both older and newer tractors, with the right dimensions and functionality for your specific needs.
The right clevis joint makes a real difference – not only for how the implement performs, but also for the overall durability of your machine. With proper installation and correct sizing, you get a flexible connection that can handle both stress and movement during demanding fieldwork.
What Is a Clevis Joint and Where Is It Used?
A clevis joint acts as a movable link between two components – for example, between a lift arm and implement mount, or between a top link and the frame. It allows controlled side-to-side or vertical movement, which is crucial in uneven terrain and under heavy load.
Common applications include:
- Three-point hitch systems on tractors and implements
- Lift systems and steering linkages
- Connections exposed to pulling or pushing forces under load
By using the correct clevis joint, you prevent rigid stress that could otherwise damage mounting points and cause unnecessary wear on implements and linkage arms.
Why the Clevis Joint Matters
A well-designed clevis joint provides:
- A stable yet flexible connection between tractor and implement
- Reduced risk of damage during sudden load changes
- Smoother performance in uneven or hilly terrain
- Longer service life for other connecting components
How to Choose the Right Clevis Joint
When selecting a clevis joint, consider both your tractor’s design and the implement or mount you’re connecting. Pay attention to:
- Pin diameter – to match existing fittings
- Center distance – determines range of motion and fit
- Thread type and locking method – depending on whether the clevis is bolted or pinned
- Application – e.g. lift arm, top link, or control arm
We offer both fixed and adjustable clevis joints, with models compatible with Cat. 2 and Cat. 3 components. All products include clear specifications for easy comparison.
Installation and Maintenance – What to Keep in Mind
Replacing a clevis joint is usually straightforward, but you should always check:
- For play or looseness in the joint or mounting point
- That the pin or fastener is properly secured
- For cracks, deformation, or signs of wear
Lubricate as needed and replace worn joint heads in time. This is especially important when working under high load or in dusty or humid environments.
