Kind of OT - Yakima hitch?

Lynn Patrick · Sep 16, 2016

I have a chance to buy a 3 bottom plow at a really good price, but it is advertised as a "Yakima" hitch. I understand this was made by Lindemann for JD as an answer to the Ford 3 point, but was not very successful??
Can they be converted to 3 point, & if so, what would I need to do? I have only seen a picture of the plow, & can not tell too much from it.
As always, thanks in advance for your advice/experience!

I had to ask Google. Probably not what you want although they are allegedly highly coveted by some hard core Deere guys and pricey if you are into that niche. They seem to be peculiar to specific Deere models and are often incomplete. Something to do with the rock shafts.....

Thanks TOH. You found the same google site I did! That's where I got the info as to what it was, but I still don't know what it would make to make one into a 3 point, if at all possible!

Obviously I have no "real" knowledge of this matter but I think it is safe to say you can probably save time, money, and aggravation by looking for a traditional 3pt plow....

Of course I have been wrong many times before.....

If it's valuable to the deer guys and you could get it cheap buy it and flip it to a DJ collector then take that money and go find a 3 point plow.
