Nice setup for a compact tractor, almost no front 3 points till you get into the 200 hp range here.
And still none except for a few large ones with the hook and ball 3 points.
We used to see them as optional back in the 60's and early 70's but almost none now days.

The second picture that you can see posted , Most 3 point hitches are on the rear of the tractors in the US They will mount snowblowers on the front different mounting system...

Only 2 pictures seem to be working. The rest says it's an invalid attachment.

Anyway, wouldn't a front 3pt and PTO with normal and not so expensive implements work better? Or they just keep doing like that so they can keep their expensive proprietary mounting systems and implements?

Some of those proprietary from mounting systems seems like a pain to attach the implements and others are just prone to wear and get lots of play, which requires replacing expensive parts after some time.

I have one and I love it. No idea why tractors aren’t set up this way here in the states other than cost
