3ph Quick Hitch Attached to FEL

[Glenn9643]

I need to use a landscape rake attached to my FEL to remove water primrose from the pond a couple times a year. I realized the hard way that you can back up too close to the bank, but if it was on the FEL you wouldn't have nearly the danger of sliding into the pond. I have a quick attach setup on my FEL that requires me to remove a pin on each side to change implements and I think I could easily modify the 3ph quick-hitch frame to mount to the FEL.
I did a search and found a related post here.
I haven't looked locally so don't know if Speeco is handled by dealers in my area, but JD I-Match would be available. The landscape rake will probably be a Monroe Tuffline or Howse brand. Any idea if the I-Match will work with these?

If your quick attach on your FEL meets the skid steer standard, you can get an adapter that will let you hook any 3pt implement, unpowered, to it.

If your FEL hooks up similar, I'm sure you could modify a quick hitch like I did.

I did get a chance to mount my 84" Landpride rake on the the FEL. Worked OK except I did not have as much weight as I needed on the rear. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Ron,
My MF quick-attach for the FEL is very similar to yours. Pull the two lower pins to change out an implement. I was using my pallet forks today and thought about welding some rectangular tubing to the 3ph quick-hitch and slide it over the forks and bolt it down some way to keep it from sliding off. That would be easier than trying to line up the pin arrangement to match the quick-attach as we had to do when building the forks.
I've got a new "ballast box" that I've really enjoyed... a Howse RTC70 tiller that weighs 820 lbs. I've been using a 6' bush-hog box blade for a counterweight that weighs about 500 lbs and the added weight of the tiller makes a LOT of difference with a big load on the FEL.
