3 point hitch

[alcranb]

I recently purchased a used L-3710 with a Woods backhoe. The tractor's previous owner did not have the lift arms so that it could be used as a 3 point hitch machine sans the backhoe. The local dealer tells me it will be close to a grand to outfit machine with the 3 point hitch outfit. Ouch!! It appears that there are a few internet possibilites. Have any of you folks run into the same situation? Any one dealer better that the other. Any advise would be greatly apprecieated.

Whoever first installed the backhoe should have kept those items with the tractor, but it's water over the dam at this point.

You might have some luck at a tractor salvage place such as this outfit in Pennsylvania:

Wengers Of Myerstown - Farm Equipment, Agriculture Equipment, Tractor Parts, Construction Equipment, Construction Parts

Also, here's an outfit that claims to sell aftermarket Kubota 3 point hitch kits.

Hitch Kits: 3 point Hitch Kits || Weaver's Compact Tractor Parts & Compact Tractor Salvage

Don't know a darn thing about either place, but maybe this will at least get the ball rolling for you. The other alternatives are ebay, Craig's, etc., but they would be very hit or miss. Good luck.

Try a different dealer. Or try to find an online dealer. For deere parts I go to green farm parts. Kubota must have something similar.
Good luck and happy new year.
