I'm not saying you need another tractor, you don't- but you'll never regret it.

I really wish TBN had the option of different responses over the 'Good Post.'

A doesn't describe my reaction, you got an audible laugh out of me- a literal lol.

Man: “Honey, I’m leaving you”
Woman: “For another woman”?
Man: “No, for another barn”

TG, you just need to buy another tractor and keep the BH hooked up to it all the time.
Problem solved!

I mentioned this to my wife and got 'the look.'

That's definitely a yes, ain't it?

What brands of tractors have the two different settings for the links for the lower arms that allows to lift each one independently ? I have been around 3 point hook up tractors most of my life and don’t recall ever seeing one built like you described. Could you please post a picture of one ?
As far as only hooking and unhooking on pavement unfortunately a lot of folks don’t have that option.

My Branson has a "pin" that can be rotated to allow more "float" in the lift arms. My IH has two different places to fasten the lift arms to the bottom links a slot or a hole. I don't recall what the NH or the Kioti have.

There's another thread just started on this forum, a guy buys 4 acres and is fixing to buy his first tractor. There's a thousand such threads on this forum, and you know what direction it's headed before it even starts, half this forum will try convincing the guy he needs to drop 50 large on a 40 hp CUT with an FEL and all the fixin's.

As I read these, I think of an uncle who spent his entire life on 85 acres, and never even owned a tractor. I think of two others who had large dairy farms, and never had more than two old Oliver and Bolens tractors that most would laugh at today. They wouldn't even know what to do with a modern 40 hp CUT.

That's not great advice. He only needs 30.

Got my bush mower hooked up in record time. Like 10 minutes total.

That's a record for me.

Hydraulic top link on your 3 pt. hitch sure makes it a lot easier and quicker. And not just for the bush hog. One of the best add-ons I put on my tractor. That and the adjustable slides on the two bottom hook ups.

I only use my 4' stump jumper once a year, in the winter, to cut down the area over the septic field (actually, just a little bigger, but still not much) and I always forget the settings for the top link and side pins. Takes me about 20-30 minutes of farting around. If it wasn't a septic field, I'd just let it grow. I used to rent a walk-behind brush cutter, but that was costing $100 a year some time ago, plus four trips with the trailer, so for the cost of a used bush hog, once and done. The best part is that once I get too old to deal with it, I can sell the bush hog for probably $600.
