3-Point Hitch 3 Point Hitch Snowblower Connection

[Scrapster]

What is the proper way to connect the two lift arms. Should the arms be between the snowblower frame or on the inside of the snowblower frame?

Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to say, but my arms connect between the slots provided on the blower arms This is not a real good shot but the only one I have for representation. Have any pics to describe what you are asking?

Looks like you have yours connected on the inside of the 3pt frame. I would have guessed outside as that is more standard for 3pt implements but either works and it just depends on the width of the 3pt frame and how you have your pins mounted. I've never used inside mounts and I would guess it is a little harder to get leverage in there when trying to mount or dismount the thing. Lots of my implements require persuasion in the form of a whack with a 4x4 or swift kick with my boot to get themselves lined up. That would be more difficult with the pins pointing inwards.

Sounds like it doesn't matter, the pins that came with it would allow either side of the 3 point frame but not inside the 3 point frame. Thanks for the replies.

Mine has a "channel" that the 3pt arm goes in between, I assume they are all like this. This way any sideways movement will not strain the 3pt arms.

That's the same as mine although the picture didn't show it as well. Not sure what inside and outside means. Here is another shot which is probably better.

What is that mounted on the left side of your tractor, it looks like a wing plow but I'm not sure.

A friend of mine has a 4ft snowblower that he is going to give me for my dads Ck20 hope to get it soon as to make sure everything works right.

I have lots of experience with paving equipment but zero with 3pt attachments, so it's learn as I go.

 

[Steve_Miller]

Yes, a wing

Couple of more questions. What do you have on the frount, does it push good. Are the tires filled, how rugged does the side of your snowblower have to be to push off of.

Can you post a pic of the whole setup, kind of a tease getting one shot at a time lol.

Here it is when I was refining it on my CK20. I just adapted it to my CK30 when I traded up. Just so we're not hijacking this thread any more. If have any more questions I'll try and answer them in that thread.
