Besides resale value, what operating advantages if any would an 801 hitch have over an after market 3pt on a 70? would it be easier to use a remote cylinder or would it have any operating weight advantages? Thanks.

I agree with some of the other comments about the value of the 801 hitch. It's collector value pushes $600 to $800 depending on condition and completeness. I suspect an aftermarket 3 point hitch set-up can be purchased for much less. like almost half. The advantage of the 801 over the 800 and 800a is that it does offer some "Traction Trol" capability. Additional tracion for the rear tires if it is set up correct with a plow. However, in the case of a brush hog, etc, this feature needs to be locked out. The real advantage of the 800 series hitches over the aftermarket hitches is the telescoping draft arms (assuming they are not rusted stuck) which make it much easier to hook up to a three point implement. There is a common misconception that 800 series hitches cannot be used with conventional 3 point implements. It can be done quite easily through removal of the evener bar and connecting the two top arms to the outside of the implement mast. Works like a champ. I would reserve the 800 hitch for antique tractor shows and find a low cost after market 3 point hitch.

Brain,

If your primary concern is resale value - I'd set aside the any 801 you have to preserve it and use an aftermarket hitch for work.

The remote cylinder is a wash either way.

If there is any advantage to the 801 in load control for plowing, you surely won't see it with a bush hog, a harrow, or most anything else.

Couple of weeks ago, my 60 brushed aside 8 inches of snow with little effort using a Dearborn blade and a Saginaw hitch. Does the same with a mounted plow. Your 70 has bigger cajones - so even more pull - and therein lies the crux of things. The 801 is probably worth too much to work it. Knowing what the 801's go for -- and how willowy they look -- I'd use the aftermarket hitch and save the 801 for a collector some day.

Brian, it depends on the aftermarket hitch. I will take a quality aftermarket 3-point over an 800/801 hitch for anything that wasn't designed for that hitch to begin with. For most 3-point work like rear blade, brush hog, post hole digger or general 3-point work the aftermarket is superior. If the correct equipment is used with the 801 & it's adjusted correctly there is some load control possible.
