Cant hook up bushhog..

I'm SHOCKED!! YES SHOCKED!!
The obvious solution is you buy a tractor for each implement!!

That's what I'm trying to convince my wife anyways

Both of our Bush Hogs are supported by blocks under front corners when not on tractor. Makes hookup very easy. We have Delta Hooks on all the Cat 1 equipment and the Kubota tractor so, other than hooking up PTO shaft, takes just a few seconds. Have Speeco QA on the New Holland but, unfortunately a few of the Cat 2 implements are not QA compatible. Will be some welding work for this winter.

A picture would be worth, a thousand words... bars? do you mean the 7/8 inch pins that the lower links slip on? If so.. no. Nothing should be bent.

Here's a pic of my 3pt setup with the adjustable stabilizers that I purchased from Mark Hodges at StabilWorks



Note that my adjustable lift arm on the right is not original. Mine bent then broke so I fabbed up a new one from a cat 0 top link and the forks from the old one.

This is a picture of the Carter EZ hitch I got, they work very well.

What did you do to get it done ?

Put the left lower link on the tip of the bush hog pin then used the bar to move the left side of the hog forward a bit then it slid on, same for the other side

Just remember.... when in doubt use a bigger lever.

When I have issues, it's usually due to dropping the attachment at a funny angle, in a hole on one side, where the tractor wants to roll away or all of the above. I try to pre-plan and leave implements so hookup is easier.

To make a heavy implement easy to slide, screw a 8 foot long 1/4" square tube to a board or post. Steel on steel moves easy.
