Read articles →A short bench-assembly walkthrough from Desert Greens Equipment showing how to unbox and piece together the three-point-hitch components for a 1025R TLB before it ever goes on the tractor. Adam names each part, draft links, lift links, turnbuckles, top link, pins, and demonstrates the assembly sequence step by step, including which lift link is threaded and which side it goes on. Best for new 1025R TLB owners who received unassembled hitch components.
Presented by someone named Adam from Desert Greens Equipment, which appears to be a dealership or equipment retailer based on the business website referenced at the end.
The threaded lift link goes on the right hand side, identified by its elongated coupler with a short U-frame near the top.
Tighten the metric nut all the way using an 18 mm ratchet; a shoulder on the turnbuckle prevents overtightening.
It sits underneath the backhoe seat, just above the rock shaft, held by a washer and cotter pin through a small hole.
A locking pin cinches through with the flat portion facing inward, letting it sink over the top and lock in place.
