homemade 3pt receiver hitch

[richfromPA]

hey all,
i just wanted to show my first of many homemade projects for my bx2200. i saw a brochure that had a 3pt reciever hitch so i figgered id make my own. while i was hunting for material at work i came across a bolt on truck hitch that i sawed apart and modified. now i can move trailers around and make a frame for my sprayer and when i make my counterweight, it can be a slide in and pin. the pic shows it just after welding and today ill blast it and paint it. then ill post a finished product pic.

Would love to see that. I'd love to use my tractor to move my boat and trailer around too.

I needed the same too and took a 3-pt "carry all", available at your local farm supply store for about $60-$75, put a 2x6 across it and then mounted a 4x4 block on it with the ball attached. A receiver could have been put in place of the ball. Otherwise, for about $150 or so, you can buy a 3-pt receiver from Northern Handy Man or similar places, like you local farm supply store.
