Need a measurement

IMCA38 · Sep 27, 2003

Hi all.
I'm looking to weld together a 3 point receiver hitch contraption this weekend. However, I need an approximate measurement for the vertical distance from the lower 3 point arms up to the top link. The only 3ph implement I have right now is my finish mower, and with the floating attachment points, I can't take an accurate measurement. If someone could measure their blade, rake, etc, I would much appreciate it!
Thanks
Todd

I don't have an address for you.. but do a search for asae standards for the cat 1 hitch.. it will be listed in a diagram.. all the geometry and measurements.. lacking that.. measure one of your other implements if you have any.

Here is a nice page from SpeeCo, but it doesn't list the vertical distance.

If you haven't already made it (this is Monday as I type this), I've made a couple for friends based on the averages of some of my implements and they've worked fine. The numbers I used were 14 5/8" for the height and 27 1/8" for the width. Actually, I just go on the outside of the soap line I mark at 14 1/2" and 27" but that seems to be close enough. I don't know how this matches the the actual specs, but it works well on every tractor I've tried it on (even with quick attach).
