Quick Hitches 2" receiver lift arms

[Stillhunter]

Does anyone know if there are cat 1 lift arms fabricated to fit into a 2" receiver on the market? These would be used in clamp-on receivers on my fel. Thanks

Not sure how you mean, but you could put a horizontal 3pt lift pin, instead of a ball, on a short 2in square tubing or ball mount. Then use a regular lift arm.

Bruce, thanks for the reply. Perhaps I am misinterpreting your reply, but I want the ball socket end of the lift arms to come out of the receivers. That way, I can use the clamp-on receiver to hook up to implements via the receiver mounted lift arms.

So you want to be able to put a 3PH implemnet on the loader?

Something like this?Bradco Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach to Tractor 3 Point Hitch Adapter

Bruce, I got it now, thanks. However, seems these arms won't provide lift as they will pivot on the lift pins. Just looking for a simple 1 piece lift arm that will lock into the receiver and thus not pivot.

Roger, thanks for the reply. I don't want to take my bucket off my tractor to use implements so this one wont work. But again, thanks.

I guess if there is nothing on the market, I could get lift arms welded to the sides of 2" stock though I would rather have the arm centered in the receiver so as not to put sideways torque on the receiver.

If I am picturing this corretly, I think there is nothing on the market because it dont sound like a good way to mount an implement but it does sound like a good way to tear things up. All the weight of the 3PH on a little reciever tube mounted in the middle of the bucket??

Basically, if I understand correctly, you want a 3-point hitch hookup, mounted on a "frame" of some sort, with a 2" square stub that you could insert into a reciever tube mounted on the fel bucket right??

What exactally are you trying to do??

 

[Stillhunter]

Actually, I want 2 lift arms to fit into 2 clamp-on receivers (not 1 in the center) to allow me to have lightweight/low stress implements on both the front and back of the tractor at the same time. Note, I have the top link attachment resolved.

I know you can buy weld-on replacement lower "ball eyes". IF you have a welder, why not buy a pair of them, and simply weld them to some 2" square tubing.:thumbsup:

I kind of agree with LD1. I think my landscape rake is about the lightest implement I have and it weights around 350#. When you extend it that far out from the lift arms and then add the stress of actually using it I would be concerned about damaging the bucket or twisting something.

What implements do you have in mind and what tasks do you plan for them?

And I wouldnt trust clamp on reciever tubes either.

 

[Stillhunter]

Thanks guys, guess if I want to try this I will have to see my welding fabricator.

 

[Stillhunter]

Oh, as far as what I will use it for, one thing is planting many feed strips in remote areas. With broadcast spreader on back, I will have lightweight drag harrow/boom pole on loader. This allows one to plant and cover seed in one pass albeit in reverse.

You can get a atv 3 point hitch. It hooks up to one 2" receiver.

Seems like it be easier to adapt this to mount on the bucket
3-Point Quick Hitch for Tractors - 27-1/2" Clearance

than to buy lift arms etc..

thanks everyone. But, I don't need any of that stuff...already saw all that in searches....just want to keep it simple and plug simple lift arms into Payne heavy duty clamp-on receivers I already have. Guess I'll have to have them made if no one knows of any out there. I do appreciate the advice and input.
