Installation is very easy even for me who isn't handy. I had more trouble removing the cotter pins from the turnbuckle.

The installation was done quickly with very little effort. Taking the old system off took longer. Great product and would recommend the upgrade.

Hardest part was removing old cotter pins. Once that was done, the installation was easy! I kept an implement attached during the process to help steady the lift arms. Next to manually adjusting the turnbuckles, this is a simple process. An added plus is that during an implement change, the stabilizers can be extended to keep the lift arms out of the way while repositioning the tractor.

17 minutes to remove original turnbuckle assembly and replace with Messick's Stabilizer Kit. NOTE: I fractured my R arm after placing my order. Removal and install accomplished using one arm exclusively. Instructions are clear, helpful and easy to follow.

Installation was very easy and they work great.....highly recommend putting these on any tractor with the turn-buckle stabilizers. I think I would rather see a bolt and lock-nut vs. collar pin on the end connections.

Great kit! Just follow the directions. Hardest part of the whole thing is getting the cotter keys straight enough to pull out of the pins.

Took more time to take the old ones off than it took to install the new ones? Cotter keys were very aggravating, bolts would work much better, probably will change them out?

Old cotter pins a little difficult to remove, but installation was a breeze.

Make sure you get the angled side of the brackets symmetrical and correct. This would have been less than 10 minutes install if I had paid attention to that. This is a smidge pricy for what the little bit you get but what you get is a perfect product that should be shipped standard on Kubotas.

Very simple and straight forward. Easier to install than it was to remove the original equipment. Took less than five minutes. Hardest part is bending cotter pins.

That hardest part of the installation is getting the cotter pins in the pins on the turnbuckles straight enough to pull out. Thanks for sending new ones with the kit. Raising the 3 pt hitch arms to the highest position will help with the install.

Easy to install, take pins out and put them back again. The only pain it taking the retainers off the pins but it takes 20 min to do it. Much better than the old ones!!!

Cut off cotter pins and save time trying to straighten them out.

Install the center pins in each bar to keep it from sliding or telescoping before attaching each end.
Installation is very easy even for me who isn't handy. I had more trouble removing the cotter pins from the turnbuckle.
