3-Point Hitch Quick hitch/3 pt for 2538

[txlawdog]

Has anyone put a 3 pt quick hitch on their 2538. My dealer sells one but I was told it won't work on the 2538 because it hits the fenders at the stop/turn signals and ruins that area. My tractor is brand new and I haven't broken them off "yet" so I was l looking for maybe another brand that would clear the fenders and lights. I have seen the individual ones for each point but wasn't sure that was what I was looking for. Dealer said they thought there was one brand that fit but weren't sure of the brand, any info would be great.

I'll check into that one thanks, not lazy just wanting to work smarter and not harder, lol. Trying to reduce the ups and downs on the tractor.

When a quick hitch fits, it's great, But for instance, I have to do a bit of grinding on the QH and Box Blade, because it was such a tight fit I spent 15 minutes to line it up.

Putting this link here to show it is possible to clear the hitch with a bit of trimming to ensure no interference when top link is fully retracted and arms are fully raised. That is the only time it would ever be a problem. Tight, but it works with some slight Dremel work...

Thanks for the info, I think I can look at a little trimming if it will make the hookups a lot easier. Going to be on my to do list. Thanks again.
