3 pt hitch

[Anonymous Poster]

Purchased a Woods RB60 rear blade for use on a B7500HST. Have never used the 3 point hitch
before. The two lower "arms" on the three point hitch do not open wide enouhg for me to put both
sides of the blade frame on.

It looks like I can pull one of the arms off to hook it up, but that doesn't make sense because I would
have to do that everytime I wanted to put the blade on or off. It doesn't look like lengthening the arms
will do anything either, as that still wouldn't let it open wide enough.

I tried looking around this web site for any pictures of one attached or something along those lines,
but couldn't find anything.

I know it can be done, but I can't figure it out. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Reverse the pins in the blade frame so that they point inward. I have had to do this with several implements.

Thanks.

I thought of doing that, but figured that since the blade
manual showed them facing out, that that must be
the correct way and that if I reversed them, then
something would go wrong down the line at some
point because I had them in backwards.

As long as I know that that is all that is done, and that
is normal practice, then I'll do it.

I just wasn't sure if there was some type of adjustment
on the hitch itself that I was missing.

Have you loosened your "check chains" (not really chains but that's what I've heard them called) up all the way? The check chains keep the implement from swaying back and forth when tightened. Also keep the arms from swinging out.

JackIL and WVBILL hit the nail on the head. I have to do the same for some of my implements. I always have to lossen the check chains prior to hitch'n up.

Thanks for all of the replits. I'll try switching the pins
around this weekend; never have time during the week. As I
mentioned above, I thought about doing this, but thought that
somehow the integrity/strength of the pin connection would
be compromised, but apparently not if that's what everyone
does.
