I saw a ad in the Northern catalog for a 3-point quick hitch. With it your suppose to be able to hook up your implements with out getting off the tractor. I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about it and if it really works. If it does I'll buy one in a heart beat.

THANKS

I've sold a few and have one on one of my own tractors. They work, but...

Category I three point doesn't have a standard dimension from the lower pins to the upper pin (vertical distance). Ranges from 14" to 16". Also, sometimes there is a bolt just below the top link pin on the implement. To make a quick hitch work, it is usually necessary to re-work your implements to accommodate the hook that catches the top pin. Come cutting and welding. If you're willing to do this, it will work well for all implements but the PH digger.

I went to a Ag Show in Raleigh yesterday. One of the vendors there was demonstrating a three point quick hitch setup. It worked well and the guy made it look easy.

BTW. Any one know why there were so many saw mill companies at this ag show? Is cutting your own lumber such an attractive option?

My guess is that the portable bandsaw mill industry has grown to the oversaturated -now we have to break into new market-stage. My local chainsaw shop says he knows of a dozen band mills in the immediate neighborhood, only a few of which are doing any real work. There may be some hot deals on discontinued and used bandmills in the near future. Just my guess. The next wave will be firewood processors.

not sure why the sawmills were there, but i recently went that route for trim lumber. still planing it down, but it put my mind at ease for having to take down a couple nice white oaks for the house. if you like wood, gives you some satisfaction too. but you got to be willing to do a lot of work for it. by the way, i've been looking for a device to turn my wood shavings into fire logs. did they have anything like that there??? i'm up to my ears in shavings and not even a quarter done. i'd appreciate any leads on a tool like that.

Ike I did not see anything like that there. Sorry. There sure were alot of lumber being cut there that day. Must of been five different companies all demostrating how there mill worked. It was fun to watch.

N content: I did find another source for parts for my N. There was a company giving out catalogs of their stuff. They sell used parts also.

It sounds unlikely, but interesting. I think that's why I keep two 8N's, I'm too lazy to change implements.
