FRONT
LINKAGE
ACHIEVE MAXIMUM TRACTOR VERSATILITY
AND ECONOMICS WITH AN MX FRONT LINKAGE
To compliment the tractor’s existing rear linkage, MX front linkages offer the ability to also fit front
mounted implements, a winning combination that enables multiple operations to be made in one
pass. Valuable time is saved, resulting in a significant reduction in fuel consumption and maintenance
costs. MX front linkages offer a cost effective solution to ensure your tractor is working to its
maximum efficiency.
Tractor equipped with a high
capacity hopper on the front
linkage and seed drill on the rear.
Tractor equipped with 3 mowers,
one on the front linkage, 2 at
the rear.
Tractor equipped with cultivator
on front linkage and seed drill at
the rear.
Tractor equipped with front
and rear ploughs.

Make your tractor more profitable!
Depending on the task in hand, and the type of implement being used, your technical
requirements may vary considerably, with this in mind, MX have developed a complete range
of front linkages incorporating six different models. Of which, each model is designed to offer
optimum lift performance relative to the tractor’s size and horsepower.

FRONT LINKAGE
AGRICULTURE
High strength front linkage
made for intensive use
All MX front linkages are tailor made to each specific tractor make and model. Integral
chassis plates form a strong chassis structure back to the tractors clutch area, hence
working stresses are evenly distributed and the tractors strength is never compromised.
Push bar
Extra reinforcement connecting the linkage to the
rear of the tractor
A push bar is essential equipment for high powered tractors
used for heavy duty applications.
Rear supports
Additional reinforcement from the
clutch housing to rear axle
Added strength to the tractor chassis.
OPTIONS
Effective on all
types of terrain
Lifting arms have two
working positions: fixed where
the implement is held rigid,
or floating where the implement
is able to follow ground contours.

Achieve maximum versatility
from your tractor
MX offer the ability to fit a front linkage and loader to the same tractor, which gives
maximum machine versatility with minimum downtime, ensuring the tractors full potential
is used. Unrestricted use of the loader is possible when the front linkage arms are in their
folded position, then with the aid of its Fitlock II hitching system the loader can be removed
in seconds, hence allowing unrestricted use of the front linkage.
Extra versatility and more
economic use of your tractor
By integrating common loader and
front linkage components (chassis,
rear supports, hydraulic components,
control systems, SHOCK Eliminator®)
the unit cost can be significantly
reduced. Changing from loader work
to front linkage work or vice versa is
done with minimum downtime.
Power take-off
High output with reliability
you can rely on
All MX Power take-off systems
have been tested under extreme
working conditions to guarantee
their reliability. With the option of
two possible directions of rotation, a
perfect match can be achieved with
all implements. Available for tractors
from 50 kw to 150 kw (70 hp to 200 hp).
Auxiliary hydraulic line
Easy to reach connections
Conveniently located near to the
front of the tractor, the auxiliary
hydraulic line allows easy connection
of implements requiring a hydraulic
service or a hydraulic top link.

Superior comfort
for all types of work
Both lift arms can be easily folded back in a matter of seconds, hence, when not in use the
front linkage is an extremely compact unit. For easy hitching the lift arms are equipped with
fully automatic couplers, and when not in use the top-link bar is stored on the front linkage.
Shock
Eliminator
System®
Comfort and
balance
With the aid of a Shock
Eliminator System
the ride quality of the
tractor/linkage unit is
significantly improved.
Additionally this
system also eliminates
any shocks caused
by rapid front linkage
movements.
MX control
system. Cable
control or electrohydraulic
control
All operations at your
fingertips
MX offer various control
systems to operate MX front
linkages. A single joystick
can be used to operate all
functions (lift, lower, auxiliary
service, hydraulic top link). The
lowering function has 3 modes,
single acting, double acting or
float position.
External control
of the MX front
linkage
Rapid and easy
implement hitching
This option allows safe
external operation of the front
linkage lift and lower functions.
A 2nd external control can
be added for the auxiliary
hydraulic lines or hydraulic
top link.
Hydraulic top-link
bar
Control accessible from
the tractor cab
The optional Hydraulic
Top-link enables the operator
to adjust the implement angle
from the tractor seat.
This reduces down-time
when hitching implements,
and promotes easier use of
the front linkage for certain
applications.
