AC 720 3 point hitch need advice

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I don't know much of tractors. 3 points, even less. Eventually I want to run 3 point implements on my 720 but I have no links(?). I've heard of category 0 but I have no idea what that means and I have no idea what links to look for. Do I just look for category 0 links and those will be correct? Same for implements. Do I look for something like a category 0 back blade?Also this tractor doesn't seem to have those rock shafts to raise and lower a 3 point hitch. It has a stubby hydraulic cylinder so I'm lost how a 3 point would even hook up.

	uploads/610/3pt_schematic_2025-07-30_21-52-45.pdf uploads/610/3_pt_parts.pdf Here are a couple of PDF pages from the Simplicity 9020 parts list I have - just the 3pt components. Sounds like you have the hydraulic cylinder and its attaching points which should also include the rock shaft - assuming you have the lift cables for the mower deck. The lift cables operate off the rear hydraulic cylinder. Yes, look for Category 0 implements. Generally, they use 5/8" diameter mounting pins.

	How it should look assembled minus the middle third link and sway chains (limit the side to side movement of the lift arms).
