3 Pt to fast hitch??

I have a question for all of you out there, is there a way to run fast hitch equipment on a 3 point tractor. the reason i ask is that i have run across a lot of fast hitch equipment that is the right size for garden work for me and priced right. however i will not cut up and ruin a piece just to make it work for me. I just have to much respect for the fast hitch equipment and want to leave it in its original form. i have searched the forums and done some google searches but everything i come across it going from fast hitch to 3 point and not the other way around. I know the easy answer would be to buy another tractor (300-560) with a fast hitch but that is not in the cards yet for a while. I feel that this has been done, so if anyone has any pictures or thoughts let me know. thanks in advance
 
I can think of a couple ways to do it. The easiest I think would to get a 3pt back blade or similar piece of equipment and to also find a fast hitch and find a way to mount the pockets to the 3pt frame. However then you have a geometry issue to figure out as to how the equipment will work as it will not be in the correct position in relation to the tractor, possibly? It is a good question. For what it would cost to have something like this fabricated, if you do not do it yourself, it may be cheaper to buy a tractor. You can buy running 300 with loader in my area for $1500. Its not pretty but it is functional.
 
I could see how it could be done by making a sort of quick hitch thing that fit the 3 point then was set up with the fast hitch hook up on the other side.
 
Find an old fast hitch off a junk tractor. Turn the 'bail' 90 degrees of the sockets. Weld solid,add 3 point pins and a top link
mount. Done.
 
thanks for the input guys, i was thinking about making one from some fast hitch parts from a bone yard. the picture of the one off of ebay helps of how to design it.
 
Dumb question here but would the fast hitch style Hiniker snow plow mounts work? If so you could get those fairly cheap and plentiful and fab up your fast hitch conversion.
 
Easiest way to male fast hitch stuff work is buy a fast hitch tractor , then the problem is solved and ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOMANY TRACTORS . See how easy that was .
 
What part of the country are you in with "a lot of fast hitch equipment and priced right"?

It's hard to come by around Houston.
 
I'm located in central iowa. some are advertised and a lot i stumble upon. its what you find when you are not looking that you can never find when you are looking.
