I've got a 560 with drawbar. Looking at putting 3pt on it.
Was wondering if anyone had experience with the cross 3pt conversion kit? Good quality? How's the install?

Thanks
 
The Cross is a brand, i cant say i ever heard of that one,, but i put a Cornhusker brand on my 806, that is a heavy built one, that's been copied buy a lot of secondary company's since. Has it it got 1 or 2 lift cylinders ?
 

They have one that comes with one cylinder and one that comes with 2. Thinking the two cylinder would have more lifting capacity?
 
Cross is at Mindenmines MO, near Joplin.

How do the hydraulic cylinders plumb into the tractor hydraulics? Do you just run hoses to one of the remotes?
 
My 560 outside control lever, shorter one, goes to LH valve under the hood. Pipe from that valve runs to back coming out under the seat. I run my 3pt off that valve as it is handyiest for m e. I use quick couplers because I may want to remove it. Depending upon type cylinders you use, single or double acting you will have to turn little button coming through the bottom of the dash. My second valve handle in controls valve on the far right under dash and it has hoses running to the back of the operator platform with break away couplers. I have also hooked 3 point to that at times which ever one works easier for you
 
I've got one of the Cross 3-point hitches. It is the light one, and single-cylinder. My 1950 Farmall H has twisted the center round bar, during plowing, to where the right-side draw bar had dropped several inches. I had to have it taken apart, replaced and re-welded. I'm thinking if a 1950 H can twist one, more or less ruin it, then the Cross must be pretty light-weight. I believe my brother has a heavy-duty Cross on his H, with no problems.
