I'm wondering if there's a way or an adapter that allows a 3 point implement to be offset to the right or left?

My father bought a Bomet 1 Row Potato planter a couple years back. Its a single row planter that I think is really made for small, narrow tractors like a Kubota. I used it last year on my Zetor, but there really was a way to make it work out adjusting the wheels to work on 36" wide rows so we ended up with like 5' rows. I would have advised him to buy the more normal sized 2 row, but he didn't ask or tell me he was going to order it.

It's a ground driven machine, no pto involved.

I'd like to have everything on 36" rows so I can use a 2 row hiller and cultivators (corn/beans).

This idea is probably too light-duty for that potato planter but it might help others who find their way into this thread.

I adapted a back blade to fit my Quick Hitch. I started by hammering hitch pins into square tubing. (And welding them solid).

Then, this assembly could be welded on to your implement at an offset. In my case, I mounted it forward of existing incompatible pins.
