My new 3-point receiver hitch

surfran · Jun 2, 2003

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).

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?
