Fullers Farmalls 09-30-2012 23:07:40 24.239.77.45 Report to Moderator	I found an add on 3 point hitch for a Farmall. I'd plan on putting it on my H or Super M or getting a third tractor for it. It doesn't have a model but looks like the Saginaw but only has one cylinder. The arms aren't perfectly straight, the cylinder doesn't look perfect but is plumbed for 2-way hydraulics. It's about 2 hours away, but pretty cheap. Is it worth it? I don't have pics but I am pretty sure it'd fit. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

A second cylinder can usually be added pretty easily by someone with some basic fabrication skills if you really feel it is necessary. What kind of work do you envision for this 3pt? That will tell you if it's worth it or not. This is worth exactly what you paid for it, but IMHO the add-on hitches do not work well for moldboard plowing. Mostly because they don't have draft control, which makes keeping the plow at a consistent depth a manual process. Tough to do a good job of plowing. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm selling the H now that the 300 is in working order and I'd be happy to sell the hitch off it separately since I still have the drawbar to put back on. Zach [Reply]  [No Email]

The center round-bar had twisted a bit, and the right-hand arm had bent down a little bit. Had to have it rebuilt, and that was pricey. HOWEVER, a 3-point will absolutely be worth it. Makes a Farmall into a real work tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]
