B and C 3 point

I have two B's and want to buy a C, one B will be sold or parted out.  Looking for everyones input on aftermarket 3points, what do you have and do you like it? pics too, how well yours works, ect.

its a little spendy but looks like a great setup

the square tube that bolts to final drive housings would have be longer for a C other than that every thing else is the same.

Yes just the square tube would be different, easy enough.

As for the drawbar problem, that's easy enough. Could build a drawbar setup that would mount up front with either another square tube across the front of the final drive assembly or a brace that would hang down from the implement mounting holes on the torque tube. The drawbar could rest across the back of the 3pt square tube and could be pinned on the front for easy removal if in the way for a 3pt attachment.

You guys gotta think outside the box a little bit like me, but not all of us have a shop full of tools like me and great at fabricating. I would be lost without my welder.

If I could build a setup simular to this and sell it cheaper, would anyone be interested?

Its not like were talking about putting a receiver hitch on your wifes mini van to pull a car trailer!

Its a tractor. Many items had hydraulic lift setups, an aftermarket 3pt is just a universal hydraulic lift set up for some to have many more attachments, or to change them out faster.

Another reason for myself is for cultivating. Our row spacing makes using my one row mounted cultivator kinda tight(rear wheels rub corn a lot). Goint to a 2 row 3pt is better setup. I can straddle 2 rows better than one row.

Every one uses the tractors different.

The 3 point that Tony sells seems like a good unit also.

I have had one like the one Tony sells for 16 years, wouldn't want to be without it.

I have a C and love the 2 row setup on the mounted cultivators, especially the fact that I don't have to look back behind me all the time when cultivating(I know, I shouldn't have to, but sometimes the rows are a little crooked.LOL!). I see no problem with putting a 3 point on a B/C. Just makes it a little more useful for some things, like mounted disc harrows, scape blades, and small flail mowers. One thing to keep in mind is that with the 3-point, you will have A LOT more weight on the rear than the tractor was designed for. I would consider fabbing a weight hanger out front and putting on suitcase weights as needed to keep the front tires on the ground. You could easily do that with the resources and skills you have mentioned earlier.

We sell a lot of the 3 points for the b/c  Our kit interchanges between either one just fine.  I also install them for customers.  They are listed on our webiste if ou would like to get a shipping quote, or you are welcomed to call our toll free number 877-378-6543.

Anyone have pics of there 3pts on and in use?

Anyone have a style that does not use the stock drawbar to mount to?

I think you would want to brace the rocker shaft supports from the final housings if you do much lifting.  I think that is what was done on the snap coupler conversion.

I bought  an old junk B and restored and custimized.Didn,t have drawbar so i made 3 point hitch. it is similar to one in picture but i put an arch in mine . run support from arch to drawbar and created a triangle  making a solid hitch.

Here is a shot in progress a couple years ago. Loosely set together, but you can get the idea.
