I have a picture of a fast hitch to 3 point conversion that was on EBAY some time ago. Nothing to remove, it just slides into the fast hitch. Looks easy to make. If anyone Emails, I'll send a copy of the photo. I don't know how to post a photo that is stored on my hard drive.

I know what you are talking about, M&W & others made those for years. They work well. But there are a few things to consider.

For example, my IH 300 was the early year, and did not have the upper 3-point attachment point. Dad 'added' one, and for a change he did a real good job of it. Some models of IH had that as factory, and some didn't. Your kit would need it maybe.

Also, the lower arms will not have as much stroke to them as some 3-point arms have. For many implements that is not a concern, you just adjust so it raises & lowers to what you need. However, for a post hole digger, you need a pretty big up/down range, to get the auger out back to lift about 4 feet.

Just things to think about, not to throw a wet blanket on any ideas. :)

If your fast hitch is a single spear type, and your PTO runs backwards, please disregard my previous post. 2pt to 3pt conversions are add ons which do not remove or change your existing system. I am not aware of a manufacturer of 1pt to 3pt conversions. Sorry.

Can only suggest that you put a 3pt conversion on it, and then a conventional 3pt digger. Is your fast hitch a 2 point, like the C, SuperC, and 200?
Is your pto a conventional 540 rpm? There are several good 2pt conversions, Worksaver at worksaver.com, and Saginaw (someone else will have to supply their address.) come to mind.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll stay with the fast hitch since I have a bottom plow and a mower for it already.
