What would be better to have on my "B"? Should I keep the 3 point or go back to AC's standard equipment? This tractor was bought to cultivate and thats what its going to do.

I have a C that is primarily cultivation but I would like to have a three point. There are times when I would like to use my box blade with it or a 3pt finish mower.

I remember as a kid, that one-row cultivator made for the B was a bit of a bear to put on and take off. On the other hand, having those front two spades right there where you could see 'em good made cultivating easy.

If cultivating is all you're really gonna do with it, then the 3-PH would probably be a waste of money. JMHO

I already have the three point, just asking if anybody thinks there is a advantage to the original implements over the 3 point?

Well.....you say you already have the 3PH........do you also have some of the original implements?

I told you the advantage I see to the original A-C cultivator.....after all,......you said:

"This tractor was bought to cultivate and that's what it's going to do".

There are some implements that were not available when the B was conceived that will work well with the 3PH.

The original two-way plows have an advantage over most 3PH plows in that when you're plowing in one direction, you have the weight of the other plow on the "sod" wheel which gives extra traction right where its needed.

Oh......I forgot........you're only going to use it for cultivating!

No I don't have any of the original implements.

Yes the main thing it will do is cultivate, but one thing I was thinking of is being able to use a single row and a twin row cultivator with the 3 point. I have never seen a twin row cultivator for a B because its a one row tractor. I would like to be able to plow with it also, I would most likely find a old Ford plow if I go with the 3 point.
