A stabilizer for a lower link of a three-point hitch of a tractor, includes a first stabilizer element and a second stabilizer element, which is supported so it can move with spring action relative to the first stabilizer element along a common longitudinal axis. A first limiting member is connected with the first stabilizer element, which in a closed position forms a first stop which interacts with the second stabilizer element to limit compression movement between the two stabilizer elements. A second limiting member between the two stabilizer elements forms a second stop to limit the compression movement relative to a corresponding end stop of the stabilizer when the first limiting member is brought into an opened position.

Stabilizer for a lower link of a three-point hitch

Stabilizer for a lower draft link of a three-point hitch of a tractor, the stabilizer comprising a first stabilizer member and a second stabilizer member which is movably connected to the first stabilizer member by a spring-loaded centering mechanism, wherein the second stabilizer member can be rotated with regard to the first stabilizer member to modify the overall length of the stabilizer. A locking bracket is pivotally connected to the first stabilizer member for blocking a rotation between the stabilizer members by engaging the locking bracket with a blocking groove formed in a circumference of the second stabilizer member. Furthermore, a locking cover is provided for disabling a movement between the stabilizer members in a closed position. A section of the locking cover is faced to the locking bracket, wherein the section is formed such in that the locking bracket can be removed from the blocking groove for releasing a rotation of the second stabilizer member even in the closed position of the locking cover.
