BX23s three point hitch

[RickB]

If that works, great. If not, simply try to use a piece of chain or strap on each side to hold the arms up where you want them.

I didn't like using a bolt on hitch, no matter how I tried it. Using the three point allows to to back under the trailer and lift the ball into place, then lift the trailer as you need to once you secure the latch.

That will not work. The 3 point rockshaft controls the deck height. The answer is posted above, move the upper ends of the lift arms to a fixed point own the chassis. Kubota planned for this and described it in the Op manual.

Your can blow up this picture and see how I did my draw bar. It took 2 pieces of angle iron and a piece of flat stock, cost for all of it was maybe $50.00. The other picture is you can see how even the dump trailer is. The upper mounting holes on the tractor was there, all I did was to match the holes. After mounting the angle I just welded the flat stock with the draw bar and holder on.

RickB and the other guy are right .

Thought I'd let everyone know how things ended up. I sold the DR Yard Vac and purchased a Bagger for the Kubota. It mounts on the three hitch arms also, but comes with the necessary brackets to attach it, and bypass the hydraulic arms. Works great, but it's a bit of work to switch back to the three point hitch, or the backhoe. Since you have to remove a couple plates, bolted on with a couple bolts.
