RollerGlide 3-Point System – Sway Block & Wedge Replacement Kit
RollerGlide is a bearing-guided replacement for the worn factory sway blocks and wedge system on John Deere three-point hitches. Instead of sliding wear surfaces that loosen with age, RollerGlide uses industrial cam-follower bearings running against a CNC-cut glide plate - rolling contact instead of dragging friction - to keep hitch movement controlled and tractor-to-implement alignment consistent. That matters most when running GPS auto-steer, laser-guided implements, or any precision-ag equipment that cannot correct for slop in the hitch itself.
Key features:
Direct bolt-on replacement for OEM sway blocks and the wedge system - no cutting, drilling or fabrication
Industrial cam-follower bearings rated 15,050 lb static load per bearing, 30,100 lb per set, built for shock loading in the field
Grade 8 hardware, pre-installed and torqued to spec
Reversible, replaceable glide plates - a serviceable wear surface rather than a throwaway part
Heavy-duty steel construction, CNC-cut and welded, powder-coated for corrosion resistance
Lifetime structural warranty on brackets and welded assemblies, 5-year warranty on bearings, limited warranty on hardware
Choose the right variant for your tractor:
RollerGlide Classic - 8030 Series wheeled, and first-generation 8R wheeled (8225R to 8360R)
RollerGlide Precision - current-generation 8R wheeled (8R 230 to 8R 410), 8RX Four-Track Series, 7R Series
RollerGlide Trac - all 8RT track tractors and 8030T
RollerGlide Heritage - John Deere 8000 Series wheeled (8100, 8200, 8300, 8400)
RollerGlide Six - large-frame 6R and 6M Series (2015+), models with a Category 3 or 3N three-point hitch only
Important: match your exact model number, not just the horsepower range. Some closely-numbered 6R/6M models use a different frame and are not compatible (for example 6230R, 6R 250, 6145M, 6M 220 and 6M 240 do not fit even though nearby model numbers do). If you are unsure which variant fits your tractor, contact us with your model and serial number before ordering.
Price is per kit, AUD, plus GST. Built to order.
