3 Point Adapter Questions

3 Point Adapter Questions

What is the allowable "spread" of the lower link arms min to max.?
23-36" approximate adjustment width range

What is the static load capability of the adapter?
Not rated - Should handle any standard 3-point implement though

Is there any capability to add a "drawbar" to be able to pull a feed wagon and run its auger for example? In other words is there a 2" receiver tube under the PTO?
Some people have purchased the ET-HT-10-C hitch receiver to do this type of task. They remove the top link section, and move the motor up to where it was (bolt pattern is the same), and bolt on the hitch receiver to where the motor was. It is a sort of hybrid setup between the fixed 3 point adapter and the motorized one that Rob has seen some customers do. We do not build them like this, but if a hitch receiver is purchased the customer can do it themselves.

Do you have any other pictures such as back and side views or with the unit connected to a 3 pt device, or Video with it in use?

What are the overall dimensions of the Adaptor?
45.25" Width - 36" Long - 30" tall 

Are Lower link arms offered in a rod end (ball and socket) style? I have 2two 3 pt attachments with slightly bent pins I would like to use and I think rod ends would work better to allow for a slightly misaligned pin.
No, arms are not offered in any other style

Does the unit have protection valves on the motor to allow for anti reversal and rotary inertia from an attachment to "spin down"?
Yes - Check valve is integrated into hose setup to allow for one-way flow/rotation only & spin down.



Do you have a drawing that would show me the relative positions of the link arms to PTO shaft to top link so I can compare to my 3Pt attachments?
No drawings, but the top link bar attaches to 3 different locations with a range of ~18-22" above the motor center. The motor can tilt up and down as needed, and sits ~1.75" above the centerline of the link arms when centered. From the tip/end of the shaft to the link arms is ~15.875" looking down from the top.

How long are the hoses and are they equipped with flat faced connectors?
About 60" long after the check valve & Yes they come with flat face couplers

Do hoses have any chaffing protection sleeves?
Yes - covered in plastic spiral wrap
