JD110 TLB three point hitch

maximus1277 · Jul 15, 2016

Hi all... Is just acquired a " gently" used 110 TLB... Mostly to get more power to move dirt and things around my small property and for occasional tiller work. I heard great things about these machines, so I thought I would give it a try. The tractor does come with three point lift arms and pto, but the hitch arms and links are missing. Any suggestions as to aftermarket hitches? I really don't want to pay a full dealer price is I don't have to.

110's didn't come with the 3 pt draft components. To my knowledge there isn't an aftermarket option. You can keep your eyes peeled for draft links off a 4000 series machine as they will work.

I bought the telescopic links for my 110 when I ordered the 4520 thru whole goods. This was about a $330 option and is a good way to go if you can still do it.

Just so you are aware of this, when someone ordered a 4x20 tractor it comes from the factory with the standard lower links. When the customer options for telescopic links these are shipped in separately. If the dealer swaps out the link arms they may hand them over to the customer or keep them. I installed my own options so I have both sets. Someone should have a set they are willing to part with whether it is a dealer or the customer. The adjustable links might be harder to come by and I would suggest you consider hydraulic links from Brian at Fit Rite Hydraulics instead. Do you have the triple rear hydraulic outlets?

Billsttmax has a lot of very helpful videos about the 110. Here's a video on the backhoe removal process.

Thanks for replies and suggestions. Let me clarify my question.... I'm really looking for ideas as to where I can find a set of aftermarket hitch arms and lift links. The tractor did not have them when I got it. I really don't need hydraulic/draft control set up at this point.

When buying the linkage from scratch it may be cheaper to go with the top n tilt set up. You may need to call around to some larger Deere dealers to find some of these parts. You will need the stabilizer bars, lower link arms (which I strongly recommend you get the telescopic version) top and side links.

I recommend you price out the top and side links with Fitrite hydraulics and compare that to the cost of Deere original parts.

When I ordered my 110 back in 2005 I went with the top n tilt hitch option. I found that hitching up to my heavy box blade with clevis style hitch was a difficult undertaking. So when I ordered the 2009 4520 I added two sets of telescopic links for the additional cost of $335/set. That makes hitching up a lot easier.

Also these models do not have draft control available on the 110 or 4x20 series. Have not seen any aftermarket stuff for these hitches.

Refer to my reply to you. You won't find aftermarket hitch arms and links. As Steve suggested you may find used parts from someone with a 4 series. You can buy the weld on ball ends and build your own.

As I also mentioned 110's don't come with the hitch parts. They were an accessory and needed to be ordered separate.

I just bought the draft links yesterday direct from a Green dealer for my 110 tlb LVA14516 @ $136.37 ea. new. I tried buying a used set and have also looked around with not much luck. I also purchased the lift links new from the Green dealer around $ 225.00 ea. and the sliding adjustable sway bars were approx. $ 80.00 ea. I have a little over $600.00 in 3 point all new from JD. There are no complete kits available but all parts available individually.

Thanks for your help guys.... I guess new is the only way to go.

How about the top link?

For a little more money I would buy the telescopic draft links, the adjustable lift link for one side and a top n tilt set from Fitrite. Still need to buy the sway bars too.

This makes hooking up to the clevis style implements much easier to do. If you don't have the three rear couplers then at least buy the telescopic draft links, which may add $100 to the cost but is well worth it.
