Adding euro three point hooks

[LouNY]

This is what the 3 most common sizes start out like.
Then you cut off the existing ball swivel on either the fixed draft arm or on an extendable end.
Does not matter, it works with both types of ends.
In other parts of the world these are available from the factories as either std or optional pieces.
This is not the case for North America.
I only have pictures with the extendable ends.

A question for you on the cat 1-2, is that a downsized end that tales the same size ball as the cat 2 but with either size hole bored in it.
I know that my cat 2 lowers take a 2.20" or 56 mm diameter ball,
and my top link takes a 2" ball.
I find it difficult at times to locate the right sized balls for a decent price.

Yes, 2.2 for the cat 1-2 & cat 2 hooks
While the top link takes a 2" ball, they only offer a full 2" width either in a 1" or 3/4" pin size.
So if you have a narrow (under 2") cat 1 top link mount on an implement, the ball needs to be machined down for width.

Went to your website. Are you still doing these? I didn't see a place to order on the site. Would like to send my arms in to have you modify them. Probably need a top-n-tilt as well. Kubota L6060 HSTC.

Thanks,

Yes I am still doing the Euro hook connections. I just have not had the time to get anything up on the website.

Please fill out the contact page on my website.
Make a note in the comment position regarding Euro hooks for the draft arms as well as the top link. I will email you a quote in the next 1-2 days.

Thanks

I hope LouNY and others try to make Eurohooks usable from the tractor cabin.
Here is JD and we can move the lower arm with that link on right..

Right arm is moving with the right lever.
Left arm is hold steady.

and hooks

I was pending patent for these and my Universal quick hitches.
But it take 3 years in USA for inspecting patent papers and they wanted more papers and more money. So I stopped pending because I do not have much time time.
Now everybody and company can fabricate my ideas.
My idea was the back lever for hydraulic 3 point for Valmet 502 and Valmet 702.
After it game those push buttons at back fenders to every tractor.

Oh wow, Pika, that is impressive.

OK. I still like the lower arms that telescope a foot - in fact they are such a advantage over the old solid lower arms that I never felt a need to go to hooks as well. Maybe I'm missing something. There's always that chance.

The geared hand crank for adjusting the side to side lifting link lengths is very handy, and the same for the way the top link adjusts. Neither require tools.

In the old days when we only had solid lower arms, sway chains, and those side links with the threads and lock nuts I didn't much enjoy changing implements. Amazing how better equipment makes the difference.

Has anyone besides rScotty ever seen lower arms that extend a foot ? The farthest I have ever seen is 3 1/2 inches

Here's a photo on the JD lower draft link . I'm not going to take the implement off, but it is obvious how long the telescoping lower draft link is. The internal telescoping part is a solid 1.5" square bar that extends the length of that tube up to the weld down at the tip of the tape.
Usable length is closer to two feet than one, but it gets shakey after about 20" of extension.
