You might want to do a little shopping. If a picture helps, look at saginawcountytractor.com
I have one, I like it, but I modified it .
I gave +/- $150 (used) w/o top link .
Hope this is useful. pb

Poorerbut, in my estimation saginawcountytractor made 3-point is about the best one out there. I build mine with about the same design only with a little more tie in of the bottom to the rear axle & little more lateral reinforcement.

Clooney: I moved the top-link post (offset it) to
give better clearance for the remotes. Doesn't bother anything since the p.t.o. is off/center.
And it could use the enhancements you mentioned.
For a fella that doesn't torch and weld every day
the price new ($450) is pretty good. pb

I've not ordered the plans or anything. I've just been to this site. The fella has full size plans of any metal parts that have to be fabricated, plus a list of materials that can be bought at farm-supply type stores that will make a complete, actual 3 point that will fit up to a 70. I think he wants $40 for a complete set of plans, and $20 for just the upper link mount.

I was kind of looking at that Hoxy hitch but it doesn't look heavy duty enough and doesn't seem to have sway control so I passed on it. There are others that look a lot better out there only they look harder to build and don't have blueprints to build from. I would be interested if anybody has puled a 4 bottom plow behind a 70 on the Hoxy hitch.

I've made 4 of those hitches and totaly agree with Clooney. I have some pics I can send to you if you will advise of address. I found the best way was to buy an 801 Hitch. It has the mounting bracket that go on the drawbar and the correct lift arms. I had to fabricate the center portion and I had the pieces pressed broken at welding shop, you will spend a fortune if you try to use accetylene or saw bits on the heavy metal. Also I made a plate to go under the drawbar and extended the bolt on with some small ears and welded to the plate. Made up risers on the end added pins then made swing arms from the factory lift arms this way I could unpin and swing loose attach implements and reatach the arms. My bushog or implement was fully stabilized and safe this way and you don't use chains other than a saftey measure. As I recall the last hitch cost about $500 plus I spent $150 on steel, welding materials and about a full days work. You can figure the cost. After I finished it looked like a factory hitch. You have to get the center link the right height from the drawbar and I patterned this after other tractors. Never had a minutes problem with any of them after completion. Also the whole items could be unbolted from the tractor. Sorry to write a book but wanted to explain.

G GUY, it isn't real difficult to build a light duty 3-point but a good heavy duty will take some fabricating skill & a fair amount of steel & parts. If you shop right you can buy most of the pivots, links & arms but will probably have to make the upper lift arms & mounting brackets. Depending on where you buy & how much you buy pre-fabricated you might not save very much. I fabricate everything myself except the pivot balls, the stabilizer links, mounting pins & link arm ends & still have quite a bit of money into those darn things. I usually build a good heavy duty 3-point that won't bend or twist no matter how much load I place on it & buy the parts ahead as I find them at tractor shows & swap meets. There is a fair amount of heavy steel cutting so a good band saw is a big help & a good design that you know works & gives you the lift you need is a must. Unless you have a discount place to buy steel or can buy it used you will have a fair amount of money into just the steel.
