If you don't use the stabilizer bars on some discs, and tilling equipment the things will swing to the side at the end of a row turn and can make some nasty gashes in back tires. I guess it depends on the type of equip but my stuff is close to the tires. Use them all the time then you won't be taking them on and off.

thanks for the help, i have confused them with the stay bar, which i believe only work with the draw bar, i could be wrong about that too. here i thought fords were simple. there are more pieces to the 3 point than i could have imagined. once i get all the parts for the three point i can concentrate on buying implements. just kidding. there are needed. i have been using my equipment without anti-sway bars. but it seems like cheap insurrance if it takes some of the beating off the lift bars. i found them at a fleet farm store for 28.00 , so thats not bad. thank you again. i will have more questions about my tractor. i bought a diamond in the rough.so i am working on getting it together little by little. its also going to be a working tractor. i juts like my stuff to look and run right. for me its therepy. allan b.

I USE THEM ON EVERYTHING I CAN. SOME CALL THEM SWAY OR ANTI-SWAY BARS. THEY JUST KEEP YOUR IMP. FROM BANGING AROUND FROM SIDE TO SIDE AS MUCH ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELIN FROM PLACE TO PLACE OR ROADING YOUR EQUIPMENT, AND IF YOUR WORKING ACROSS A HILL THEY HELP KEEP YOUR IMP. INLINE BEHIND YOUR TRACTOR. THESE ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE NOTORIOUS STAY BARS.

Growing up on Iowa and Missouri farms we never used stabilizer bars with any of the tillage implements, such as plow, disk, cultivator, corn planter, subsoiler. We always used them with rotary mower and blade. Mike-Iowa

Agree 100% Mike, have had N's and other Fords since 1940 and only use stabilizer bars with rotary cutters, box blades for a smooth finish and I might add they work well on a finish mower too. Keeps the finish mower tracking close so you can trim close to fences, gardens, buildings etc. Not needed nor intended for tillage tools.

I would use the stabilizer bars on just about everything you hook behind the tractor. The one big exception is the 2 row row crop cultivator. It is equiped with a rolling coulter that is designed to keep the cultivator going straight no matter which way you turn the steering wheel.

The cultivator I am speaking of is the ones made by the Pittsburg Plow Co and supplied to Ford. The first ones being called Dearborn row crop cultivatore.
