    what is the difference, besides price, of all of these 3 pt quick hitchs

    Harbor freight sells one for $130 (cat 1), My local Kubota sells one for $480 Another tractor dealer nearby sells one for $315 Its both tempting and logical to assume that the cheap one will break or bend faster. On the other hand, I have seen enough marketing gimmicks to know that there may...

    Does anyone know what the recommend procedure is to bypass the seat safety switch when using the PTO? I'm doing this for running the chipper, where it is NOT meant to be run from the operators seat. The dealer said that the method was to turn on the PTO, and then raise the seat. that was not...
