My new 3-point receiver hitch

[surfran]

Finally got my new 3-point receiver hitch finished and here are a few pictures. I designed it looking at several posts on here, and then incorporating a few of each. I had a local fab shop build it for me. They gave me a great deal at $100 which included 2 receivers also. One for the normal 2" ball for moving my trailer, and another clevis type with a stop plate to use my 10" moldboard plow or my utility trailer.

I just love accesorizing this thing. Tonight I plowed the garden with it and was thoroughly pleased. (see post in Kubota owning/operating for photos of that).

Here is another view with it removed and the 2" ball receiver installed.

Heres one with the plow attached with the clevis receiver installed.

One thing I had to modify from first build, was to cut a slot in the rear tube as I bent my top link slightly first time I raised it. Luckily I have a friend with a plasma torch that cut out a section. I would change the design slightly to keep a section out if doing it again. Of course now that that is cut out, everything works great.

I live in Binghamton, NY and would like to purchase one of these. Can you tell me where you had it made?
