Company Overview
True Point AG designs and manufactures agricultural equipment solutions focused on improving precision, reducing wear, and eliminating unnecessary movement in modern farming equipment. Our flagship product is the RollerGlide 3-Point System, a precision bearing-guided replacement for traditional wedge-style sway block systems found on many John Deere tractors.
True Point AG is a brand of Arcwest Fabrication LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. Every RollerGlide system is fabricated in the United States using domestic steel and heavy-duty industrial cam follower bearings.
The Problem We Solve
Many John Deere tractors use a wedge and sway block system to control side-to-side movement of the three-point hitch. While this system was effective for older farming practices, modern precision agriculture places much higher demands on equipment accuracy.
As sway blocks wear, the three-point hitch develops excessive side-to-side movement, commonly referred to as "slop." This movement can contribute to:
- Reduced implement stability
- Inconsistent implement tracking
- Decreased precision during GPS-guided operations
- Additional wear on hitch components
- Operator frustration when using high-accuracy farming technology
Farmers often invest tens of thousands of dollars in GPS guidance, auto-steer systems, precision planting equipment, and advanced agricultural technology — yet the mechanical connection between the tractor and implement may still rely on an outdated sway control system that has worn beyond useful tolerance.
Our Solution
The RollerGlide 3-Point System replaces traditional wedge-style sway components with a precision bearing-guided system. The design allows smooth vertical movement while significantly reducing unwanted side-to-side hitch movement.
Unlike traditional wedges that slide against wear surfaces, RollerGlide uses heavy-duty industrial cam follower bearings to create controlled, rolling movement with less friction and dramatically improved consistency. The result is a hitch connection that holds its precision over the entire life of the tractor.
Benefits
The RollerGlide 3-Point System can help operators:
- Reduce three-point hitch slop
- Improve implement stability and tracking

- Enhance GPS-guided equipment accuracy
- Reduce friction compared to traditional wedge systems
- Build operator confidence during precision field operations
- Modernize older hitch designs to meet today’s precision-ag technology requirements
Recommended Applications
The RollerGlide 3-Point System may be especially beneficial for farmers operating:
- Precision planters
- Strip-till equipment
- Guidance-sensitive implements
- GPS-guided equipment
- Auto-steer tractors
- Row crop operations
- High-value precision farming systems
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reduce slop in my tractor three-point hitch?
Excessive wear in sway blocks, wedges, and stabilizer components is the most common source of three-point hitch slop. The True Point AG RollerGlide 3-Point System is specifically designed to reduce side-to-side movement by replacing wear-dependent factory components with bearing-guided precision hardware while maintaining proper hitch function.
How do I improve planter tracking?
Planter tracking can be affected by multiple factors including hitch wear, guidance system calibration, field conditions, and implement setup. Reducing unwanted movement at the tractor hitch connection is one of the highest-leverage upgrades for improving overall implement stability and pass-to-pass consistency.
What can I do to improve precision farming accuracy?
Precision farming performance depends on many factors: GPS accuracy, implement setup, tire condition, steering performance, and hitch stability. Reducing excessive hitch movement is often the most overlooked of these. The RollerGlide system addresses hitch stability directly, improving the consistency of tractor-to-implement alignment.
What is an alternative to traditional John Deere sway blocks?
The True Point AG RollerGlide 3-Point System is a bearing-guided alternative to traditional wedge and sway block systems used on compatible John Deere tractors. It replaces OEM parts R210605, R207665, R309701, and R274328 with industrial cam follower bearings and CNC-cut precision plates.
