New B3200

[MW66]

Well, after many months of research, it has finally arrived. We have a new house and I have lots of outdoor work to do. I'll use the tiller to reclaim the adjoining field and then roll the seed. The blower will be great for these buffalo winters. We have stone, but in a week or two they will be completing the asphalt. I used it yesterday to build up the earth so I could drive into my rear garage door as the ground settled over the winter and there's quite a drop. They have to come back and finish grading around the house. I bought a quick hitch from Harbor Freight which worked great for my box blade, but it made the PTO shaft too short on the rear tiller. Not sure what to do? Maybe ask to get a longer shaft or go back to hooking it up without the quick hitch.

Very nice equipment; get a PTO extender from TSC or another vendor. Something like this:http://www.tractorsupply.com/agricu...to-parts/pto-shafts/extension-adapter-0271033

Looks good, but I have a stupid question. Where the two pieces meet in the middle, it looks like a hollow tube. Does that extended get placed on the tractor PTO section coming off the rear?

Congrats on the new machine! Yeah, that blower is gonna come in handy next winter...knowing Buffalo, maybe as early as October. Looks like you bought from Niagara Implement, I've heard good things about them. By any chance did you compare a price from Buffalo Tractor? Have fun, be safe and best of luck!

Congratulations. The B3200 is nice and you decide if it vibrates, don't let anyone talk you into it. Mine was not unusual vibration. If you bought new tiller, they may swap you a longer shaft. I've bought the cheaper QH's off Ebay that let the implement sit on top of the QH or under the QH to solve my "short" problem.

The extension goes on the tractor pto shaft and then the implement shaft slides on it thus extending your tractor shaft 4" the same as the QH adds. Simple effective fix. Quick hitches are a great invention.

Congratulations on your new B3200, I'm sure you'll just be amazed how easy it walks thru all of your tasks. It's been one year since my B3200 TLB arrived and it hasn't disappointed me one bit. If anything It has power to spare, enjoy!

I went to TSC this afternoon to pick up the adapter: Extension Adapter - 0271033 | Tractor Supply Company

However, no one could tell me how that extender stays on the tractor PTO shaft. It has three holes drilled into it, so my guess is that there is some type of pin that gets inserted. Is it a roll pin of some sort?

Found it. PTO Lock Pin - 0268755 | Tractor Supply Company

Thanks TripleR.

Nice looking outfit there MW66 ;-)

Well.....that was short-lived. I got home today to find that my tractor's PTO doesn't have a through hole. When the dealer stopped over to give me my new contract, I talked to him and he said the through hole is the old style. So, now I'll have to try and find a quick connect extender. That great deal I got on the Harbor Freight Quick Hitch is now starting to turn more expensive.

Has anyone purchased this one?

PTO ADAPTER 1-3/8X6SPL M. X 1-3/8X6SPL F - Agri Supply

Nice selection of equipment!!

Just another thought - looks like you have the same snow blower I have and part of the setup was to cut the PTO shaft to length since it was too long. Maybe if you have not done that yet, it might be long enough to use on the tiller?

That's interesting....I'll have to swap them and see how that works. I just figured that they were both the same length. I already ordered the extender from Agri Supply, but if I can just swap the two PTO shafts, that would be great.
