 Topic: WD 3 point hitch
Posted: 02 Mar 2021 at 3:41pm |

Looking for a 3 point hitch for my WD45. Original ones are hard to find and very expensive, usually parts missing or broken and badly welded. Any opinions on the conversion kits out there? I see a couple of different styles. I like the ones that maintain the drawbar. Any information on the actual manufacturers or personal experience with one. I've already looked at Stiener, Yesterdays Tractors, Jenn Sales, etc. They all seem to carry the same ones and not much info.

I prefer the ones that look like the original. That just snaps into the bell and then latch onto the lift arms. These work best for me, and in my opinion it’s the only one that pulls a plow correctly.
Just swap the drawbar when the 3 point isn’t needed, just like when the tractor was new.
I just hook the 3 point up to an implement, unhook it from the tractor like you would an implement on the original snap coupler system and then install draw bar.

OK Tractor sells them. I love the style that bolt to the drawbar. Harder to swap to SC equipment, but that style lets you keep the drawbar on. AaronSEIA

Yes, Cross Machinery and Mfg. in Missouri is the Manufacturer of most units sold online. I called them and they do sell direct, cheaper than anywhere else.
