3pt Linkage easy hitch frame

[OzGrasshopper]

Hi All, don't know if this has been posted up somewhere & i can't find it, but for those of u with heavier 3pt linkage implements that r hard to push about to line up 3pt linkage pins ect, i've made a simple wood frame to go under my slasher (i think u might call these cutters in US) so i can get it on & off easier and store it where ever i like in the shed. my frames very simple, made from old pallets, being 2 4"X2" timbers 3ft 6" long running parallel, joined by 2 6"X2" timbers to whatever width ur implement is. i'v mounted 6 swivell wheels (3 each side) to underside of 4"x2"'s (used 4 larger first, but found 6 smaller at same price were more easy to move implement around on). so cheap to make & easy to use that i made a smaller one for my ballast box. just an idea, saves me a lot time hitching & unhitching. also being out of wood, i can easily lift it about the shed when the implement is on the tractor. cheers OzGH

HI GWD, if I can get someone to take a pic & take it to inet in town, they may post it up 4 me - it is a real simple frame & with the gear u've got listed, i recon u'd be happy to make a few up- really only takes about 1 hr once u have the materials on the floor of ur shed - i use tech screws to hold it together, wheels have own bolt assembly with the pack. once the weight of the implements r on it, it won't move - merry xmas to u. cheers OzGH
