We own a 30 horsepower Kubota L3000 compact tractor. We have 5 acres and 2 horses. We are having difficulty attaching the rotary cutter and driveshaft. We saw a neat looking quick hitch... but still would have the driveshaft/PTO problem. We have a double groove PTO shaft... we think 5 splines. It seems really awkward to get to. Any advice?

We also have box scraper, rake, auger... would love to have single point underbelly plow, and small manure spreader. Anybody know of good sources... please let us know.

We live Southern Maryland...

This is our first time on this site.

Welcome to TBN! You'll find this a useful, if time-consuming place to hang your hat! There was a thread on this topic just a couple of days ago -

Could you fill in your location in your profile and maybe add your names to your "signature"? It'll help everyone know where roughly you are, and we can call you by name! This one was clear though with your thread title! It'll be easier for you too - you won't have to tell us manually every time who and where you are!

Welcome to the forum. A note on the quick hitch. If you consider one make sure to measure your implements, the spacing of the pins, to see if they will fit the quick hitch. Unfortunately not all manufactures use the same spacing and it is a common problem with the quick hitches. Many here have had to modify their implements to make the quick hitches work.
