That is really helpful to walk through. I'm going to look at a used Stony Point caddy this weekend. I am interested in saving the wear and tear on my tractor and avoid the pain of hooking that implement up. It is by far the dumbest engineered 3 point implement in terms of hook up!
I recommend getting a caddy if you use one tractor for multiple tasks , it’s much easier to hook and unhook and it pulls much better and more stable on hillsides . Only downside is you can’t turn at tight with the caddy as you can with the mower on the 3pt
Great video. I have no use for a caddy like this, yet I really enjoyed the video. Well done! When you go to lengthen that pull rope, may I suggest you add a small rope pulley to that steel rope loop (at the 2:00 mark). It'll make it pull a whole lot smoother and easier, plus it'll extend the life of the rope quite a bit. Just a thought. That caddy looks to be one quality built piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Being as we Row cropped Peanuts we were familar with Kelly Manufactoring Company, Diggers, lifters. and Combines, So we went with the 4760 model, We have from the 2nd year in the Commercial Hay had 3 Krone 320 Easy= cut disc mowers and 1 3200 trail..... At First ours had the Hydraulic option, buty we changed over to solid Mount... Your channel just popped up .....
I purchased a used KMA 4760 to hook to my Kuhn Cutter. Kelly says it works best with hydraulic option, however I found no supporting documentation of that. IT took two tractors with forks to hook up the dolly to the kuhn. I don't have any hydraulics hooked up to my Kuhn and if it doesn't work well I am going to sell it and move on to something else. BTW the hydraulic option is another 2K and you have to buy it from a dealer and not from Kelly. So I contacted the Kelly supplier near me and they told me that they don't support Kelly. I I then suggested they look at their own website and suddenly I was transfered to someone who knew all about my dolly. Looking at your Stony Point I think this would have been the better option for me. I think we are too far from Kelly over here in Texas. Anyone out there who operates a Khun cutter without the hydraulic option?
Thanks for showing a detailed video about one of these. I've been interested in one, but like you said, there isn't a lot of information out there about them.

Yes I posted a video of using it for first time I’m liking my caddy
Would you mind telling me what the cost is of this?
It was around $5,000
