3-Pt. Hitch Frame Fitted With Receiver-Type

3-Pt. Hitch Frame Fitted With Receiver-Type TRACTORS Hitches 22-6-35 We built this 3-pt. hitch frame fitted with a receiver-type hitch tube a year or two ago so we could extend the tow point back up to 10 in. when operating pull-type equipment. It lets us make tighter turns. The hitch was built out of 2 1/2 in. angle iron bent into a triangular shape. A flat metal brace runs from the receiver tube to the top of the brace. We designed the hitch for use with our Kubota 3600 but it could be used on any tractor with a 3-pt. We use the hitch to move bale and utility trailers around the farm and to pull our New Holland 256 hay rake. We've also discovered that the receiver is compatible with other standard receivers so it can be used with all types of hitches - pintle, ball or pin. Makes our tractor a lot more useful and didn't cost more than $40 to make. (R. Michael Cobb, Rocky Creek Ranch, 5723 Bethel Church Rd., McLeansvile, N.C. 27301; ph 336 698-0222)
