Can somebody tell me if these bars will fit a Dexta?

The smaller holes are 7/8" diameter, ie Cat 1 size. The larger holes are 1.1/8" Cat 2 size.

The distance between the Cat 1 centres is 32".

They are stamped FoMoCo

Thanks for your advice

i think i had one of those on a dexta once that was on a flail mower, i suppose it all depends on what you've got on the hydraulics if they fit or not? that was put on to pull the mower over to one side.

I think stabiliser bars are normally fitted symmetrically one on each side to stop the implement moving sideways. But I'm not sure why these are hockey-stick shaped. Our old ones were straight

thinking about it the one i had had an extra hole gas torched in it so it fit. all the others i've got are staight i think the bent ones are for the 000 series?

ben,
They are right for the dexta, you use one for mowing to keep it set to one side and 2 for cultivating to stop side travel when working in rowcrop mode.

i use one with my topper and finger mower fitted to the rh side since the mower is offset it works a treat.

Do they have to be hockey-stick shaped, or would straight ones work the same?
Thanks

i have the hockey stick type and the curved side goes to the axle brackets, straight ones will work in the same way and so will the adjustable type sabilizer bars.
