Removing the post tensioner from an NB-Arm to replicate PRO-Arm feel for operators switching models.

What the thread found

  • Operators transitioning from a PRO-Arm to an NB-Arm can remove the post tensioner entirely, allowing the arm post to rotate freely and loosely as on the PRO-Arm.
  • Several NB-Arm users made this modification as their first adjustment and reported satisfaction with the arm's behavior afterward.
