\"fast attach\" compatible with 3200?

is the "fast attach" manual sleeve hitch(the one tractor supply sells) compatible with my 3200? what about the craftsman manual sleeve hitch. no one at either store seems to know. i hate to pay $400 for an electric one no more than i will use it. thanks.

jmt1271,

Just buy it, and see if it works. If it doesn't work take it back for a refund. I would ask Tractor Supply first if this would be ok before I bought it. If cc doesn't offer a sleeve hitch for the 3200, then other manufacturers might not either. You're probably better off doing what maveric did with his 3235. Buy the cat. 0 hydralic 3 point hitch, and buy the sleeve hitch adapter. Like I told you before, hydralics are a lot easier to lift ground engaging attachments than a manual lift. Believe me, I've had experience with both.

arthurb,

I had the same question for the 2500 series and apprently the fastattach will not fit anything with a tranny fill on the back plate. I assume the 3200 has the same. I was told this by both CC and a fellow TBNer. Tractor supply sells the fastattach for the GT1554 which does not have a rear tranny fill. If you do buy it to see if it fits let me know how make out. I just returned a agri-fab box scraper since I couldn't justify a $400 electric hitch for a $188 implement. I'll rent a york rake instead.

mdc2544:

What is the make and model of the $400 electric sleeve hitch you mentioned for the 2544? I'm looking for one, but don't want to spend $900+ for the one from CC.

One is sold on e-bay by RS Fabrications. Incidentally they alos have one for the 3000 series. He sells it for $349 plus $30 or so shipping. In case you are using the scrpaer, for what it is worth, a cub dealer suggested I try the towable York rake instead of the box scraper. Apparently it works better for some applications (rocks etc). My local Taylor rental carries it. If you get the electric hitch on e-bay, let me know how it works out.
