TOP 10 TIPS FOR YOUR TRACTOR'S 3 POINT HITCH! 👨🌾🚜👩🌾
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- One of the most annoying tasks on your tractor typically involves attaching or detaching implements with your 3 point hitch. Believe it or not, your three point hitch is more complicated than you might believe. I found that to be true myself when researching for this video. There's a lot of tips and tricks that might make it easier for you to connect attachments to both your three point hitch and to your PTO. If you'd like to see how to connect an attachment to a three point hitch, then you'll get to see that as well.
Not every three point hitch is created the same, different sway arms and turn buckles, even some that have a feature called Hitch Assist, and of course, everyone's favorite, hydraulic top and tilt! So, thanks for taking the time to check out my video, I hope you find it helpful. If you like what you see, please consider subscribing, giving it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and check out the other videos on my channel! Hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much
I’m 13 years old and I have a 2018 John Deere 2032 on our horse farm u got it for my birthday and I love that thing so much there such amazing machines, they’ll do anything you ask, I mow all the fields and fence lines and the loader is great for plowing snow and moving out manure pile, couldn’t ask for a better machine
Hey! I really enjoy your videos and i finally subscribed! Keep them coming! About me. I am a suburban guy who bought lake property in Oklahoma where nothing is level. I bought my first and only tractor last year. A 2019 John Deere 3032. I added the hydraulics for the grapple, that I also purchased along with the loader and box blade. The grapple is fantastic! I also bought a quick hitch and a quik Knect hitch for the PTO. I am a pretty handy guy and can make most stuff work, but the day I got the quik Knect hooked up was amazing. I spent a few months until my quik Knect came in wresting with the stupid PTO on the brush hog and got to the point where I wasn't going to use my brush hog because it was such a pain. This could be a topic for a future video. I also installed my own grill guard to protect the front radiator etc, by welding a piece of expanded metal to the front frame and painting it John Deere green it looks like it came from the factory, even thought I am not a great welder. Paint covers up a lot. Thanks again
Ha! "Park your implements on a level ground." I backed into the machine shed at Grandpa's place last week to hook up to his bush hog. He parked it on the level, dirt floor of the machine shed, but sometime in the previous century a tree had grown in the bit of soil the shed now covered, a large tree and Grandpa had parked the bush hog on top of it, dropping the drawbar onto the old stump. With the shackle sitting on the stump the rest of the bar had about four inches of clearance from the dirt floor. A couple of floor jacks and various bits of cement blocks and I got it high enough to attach and pull out. You guys and your new fangled ideas.
As a first-time tractor owner and operator, these videos are fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Courtney's not lying, the quick hitch is amazing. I ordered one from it and had it just a few days later. He shipped one to me fast! I have the Speeco on my 2014 4320. Now I'm installing the top and tilt kit! Power tools you can ride are the best!!
You suggested working with the 3pt implements on a level surface and with a pallet under the implement. I would additionally suggest adding a set of 1000#, 4 wheel moving dollies under the pallet to make moving the pallet easier on a concrete barn floor, or just screwing some wheels on to the bottom of the pallet. The dollies are usually around $20, so it just seems easier. SO much easier to position the implement in place.
Great info!! Thank you so much. I’ve been wrestling with the 3 point hitch on my new JD 2025r for hours!! You cleared things up but quick!🙏
Just a shout out. GWT does a great job on every video I’ve watched. Love the presentation style and transparency. Keep up the “Good Works”💪🏼
Nailed the Mr. Rogers opening
Haha, thanks!
@@GoodWorksTractors Once is enough though.
I have a quick hitch on both of my tractors and love them so much for hooking and unhooking my attachments. Those are nice tips for attaching your equipment to your tractor and so much easier too. I need to get more grease so I can lube my tractors and the parts of the implements as well since it is that time of year.
Wow!! Thanks for the PTO tip. I never even gave that a thought. So much easier than wrestling the PTO shaft.
Glad to help!
Videos are GREAT. New tractor owner here, I rely heavily on this information. BIG THANK YOU!
Would love to hear more about Global Connector System.
Good Job Man!
One of the best ways to educate is to do a little entertaining in the process. You do both very well.
Great video. Thanks for the point on adjusting the drop valve. I thought I had read through the whole manual when I got my 2038R but only 10% soaked in. 😃
Good job! I like your instructive way of educating us. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. I will keep you
in mind when the need arises.
I really appreciate your covid19 direct talking to us intro. Your acting was actually darn good. It had me engaged from to get go. It had me reaching for my mask! The two second rule was a good tip. Thank you.
Great video Courtney, very informative. Love how the landscape rake almost "jumped" on, don't ya just love it when they hook that easy... But- that hitch assist is about the neatest accessory I've ever seen, next to the top & tilt. Talk about the perfect setup!
Haha, yeah, those lighter ones are easier for sure. I didn't want to exhert too much effort for the video, haha!
While I hate to see you struggle with that top link, it warms my heart to know I’m not the only one. Didn’t know that your opening was Mr Rogers. Never watched him. Even as a kid he drove me crazy. Thanks for the opportunity to remember the struggles of non-iMatch connecting. Don’t miss those days. Definitely learned some things I didn’t know. Thanks as always. As a side note, I added an adjustable link to the left side. Made things even easier.
Won't you be my neighbor?
Great job, Courtney! Picked up quite a few tips. Thanks! Can’t wait to try them out.
Glad to hear it, have a great day!
That thing at 14:55 is a real work saver. I can't count the amount of times I've had to bump my tractor a little bit back, a little bit forward, a little bit back again, raise the hitch, lower the hitch,..... just to hitch up an implement. It would be especially useful for a guy like me that has a really touchy back. I can't tell you the number of times that I've thrown out my back for a few weeks, just mounting my back blade for winter.
Great video! Thanks for all your help!
Another great video Courtney! Best on the net. Always learn something from your videos...much appreciated and thanks for all the work you do!
Thank you sir, have a good one Mike!
Great video. You make some great points. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Sooo good. Great delivery.
On my 4310 I bought another adjustable lift arm for the left side, the arms are identical, it serves multiple purposes not just helping hook ups . I can angle any attachment up or down on either side for lets say my grader blade because I can't go up steep hills pulling a lot of gravel. One of the best things I ever bought. At the time it was about $100 . May be more now.
I’m the guy that answers the phone at Summit Hydraulics. I have a lot of people ask me where is the best place to buy a attachment. I have been telling them about you, but I don’t have your contact information so if you could let me know what the best way is to contact you I will pass it on. I have been following you for a while and I’ve seen your videos about our products. I’ll keep referring people to you and it would be great if you could mention Summit and our products in your videos from time to time. Thank you for your time.
Another interesting video Courtney! When I was looking to trade for a new 4052R, the dealer had a new one on hand that was all decked out with a lot of extras on it along with the “Top and Tilt” option, with an offer I couldn’t refuse😉. How handy it is! It’s one of those...”I wouldn’t have ordered it, but now that I have it, I don’t want to be without it.” Not only for hooking up implements with quick hitch, which is a breeze, but for blade or box blade work, 3pt. forks, carryall, and I use the top link in float position for bush hog mowing (allows easier turning and uneven terrain). In addition, the two hydraulic remotes allows for using remotes for other implements as well. I use them with a stump grinder that requires 2 remotes.
Yep, love all the remotes. Can never have enough!
I spend AT LEAST 15 minutes hooking up my brush hog to the PTO every time on by Kubota BX2680. Yesterday, I threw up my hands and was going to buy a $400 PTO quick-connect. Tractor Mike showed a neat trick where you painting the splines on the outside of the coupler on the brush hog side and you showed me that I can put the PTO at mid-machine and turn the tractor spline shaft AND I don't have to hold down the button until I'm ready to fully seat everything. I put the two ideas together, rotated everything into position and just hooked it up in under 10 seconds. Taking it off was just as easy! No more trying to find the button and my hand being in a VERY akward posiion. BOO-YAH!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! (I guess I should actually read the manual now, huh?)
PS- DO you have caps for sale? I'd like to buy one to support you.
Ha, awesome. Glad to hear it!
Very well made video informative
Great video!
I couldn’t stop staring at the pen 😂
Didn't know you were also Lord of the Flies! LOL! Thanks for sharing good tips.
Ha, me neither!
It can also help to rotate the pins which let each side 'float' a little so you can move each arm a little independently to get the lower links attached. Then you can just pick it up a little, reset the pins and Bob's your uncle.
Absolutely brilliant video mate. Helped me very much! Hello from Blighty by the way!
Great info as usual
Thank you sir!
I would love to see you review a 3035d. Recently bought one and don’t see much about that specific model. Thanks love the videos!
Thanks!
Wish I had this when I got my first tractor, a new JD1025R, last year. 3-point attachment is something that most tractor owners take for granted but for a first time tractor owner, even with the owner's manual, it can seem daunting. Next time though, maybe talk more about uneven surface hook-ups... It's ironic that, when we start out, our storage yard is usually at the worst state of practicality since we know f-all of how to operate our machines. Your garage set-up is inspiring but I prefer your few "in the field" videos. Thanks for the presentation.
Wish I had 48 hours a day and I'd get a lot more field work in. Maybe someday, haha!
Very informative. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't think of shifting away from the rear PTO to make hooking it up easier. Thanks for that!
It certainly helps, have a good one Justin!
If you are embarrassed, then add me to the list. I’ve spent a lot of time losing my mind back there. Maybe a few curse words too :)
Don't be too embarrased. I'd probably still be hunting the disengaged position on the PTO select lever. Pretty much every tractor I've ever used the PTO on had mechanical linkage to engage the PTO rather than electric or electric over hydraulic.
On a related note, does anyone even make tractors with 2 stage clutches anymore?
I put all my implements on Homemade pallets with casters. You could literally add a 2x4 to the side of a normal pallet then add casters to the bottom.
Good idea, thanks for watching!
enjoyed video
Great job brother, Band of Brothers and Sisters
Thank you sir, stay safe!
Finer note on the top link. The whole idea of the patent for the 3PH is that the implement when pulled through the ground (visualize a plow) wants to rotate up out around the lift arm pins. The upper link stops this and pushes into the tractor. We all think of the top link as lifting the back end of the implement but when engaging the ground it is the opposite. It is above the axle so it pushes into the tractor. The higher you raise it the more it pushes in. Prior to the 3PH it was common for tractors to wheelie and flip over backwards killing the operator if they didn't get the clutch in fast enough. Ferguson (massy Ferguson ford Ferguson etc. ) figured this out and his patent means the modern 3PH prevents this. Higher up for heavy DRAFT ie. Hard to pull not Heavy physically which you want a lower point for.
When attaching the rear pto shafts to an impliment hook it up before the 3 point and always disengage that shaft for safety. Even the mid shafts for the mower deck put it to the rear.
It'd be great to have a similar video on bigger tractors & heavier implements and some help on unlevel ground.
Good idea about keeping equipment on pallets, but even better, I added caster wheels.
Nine times out of ten , I learn something after watching your videos. ( Point - 2 - 3 second drop rate for 3 point hitch ) I will adjust mine today. Wondering though, is that load off only - I have the i-match quick hitch system ?
Good, happy to help! I don't recall reading anything in the manual about with load, without load, etc. I think just general guidance.
Thanks - First step for me would be to clean / blow all the weeds and dirt off the hitch parts 2Nd step is hose the hitch: pins, threads, swivel eyes, extendable arms with penetrant oil ( WD40 ). You DO carry a can of your favorite spray in the tractor tool box - don't you? Always fun and informative
Haha, agreed on cleaning them off if they've been sitting for awhile. Thanks for watching!
It's easy to make a dolly with plywood and casters. That way you can roll the attachment around. It is easier to roll the attachment to the tractor than backing up, etc.
c wolf88 works well if you have your attachments on asphalt or concrete. Not so well on gravel lol
@@eddevarona8448 I use the strongest, large diameter, widest casters I can find. My driveway is gravel. No problems.
I have the Quick hitch on my jd4200 and every attachment is compatible except my post hole digger and way back in time I had my jd 4230 100 hp and my jd 2040 48 hp they both had category 2 Quick hitch on them
Those quick hitches are
The best help you can get for the money 💰
Haha, there you go. Pays for itself looking at it that way!
Don’t have a quick hitch but keep a length of 1” pvc pipe handy to spread the lower attach while backing. Each implement has its own length of pipe.
I use a heavy. chain on the top link for my flail mower, tiller, grader, planter and well everything. The chain will lift the implement as needed and float it over uneven ground. Use of a split link makes easy to adjust the length of chain although by now, each implement has the desired length already attached to the top link.
On the sliding pto attach, I pull back the collar and then wrap a zip tie around the shaft to keep the collar back while I slide the shaft forward onto the splined drive.
Good idea, thanks for watching Stan!
That’s a VERY bold fly
Do you ever have an issue with drive shaft length after adding the Quick Hitch system? Great video. Thanks!
I haven't experienced that. I suppose it could happen, but hasn't been an issue for me.
You did not mention on a 1025r when mowing 3point arm are always down, quick wood maybe drag.
My top link bent. first time using it.
OMG Will putting the PTO Select Lever to rear allow me to spin my mid PTO by hand? If yes that is AWESOME. Can't wait to go try this when I am home.
Think so, but try it out
Michael Reed Oh, man! No kidding! Hooking up my tiller to the PTO is just a nightmare. Good Works is my new best friend!
i have a 1025R and have found that any attachment to be added is a lot easier to load if the attachment is sitting on a dolly on a concrete floor.
What hydraulic kit for top/ tilt on you have on 4066R, JD BLV10965?
Always wondered what happened to Fearless Fly from my childhood cartoons , he's retired as Hiram and selling tractors now. : -)
Haha, I will have to look that up!
Great video, very informative as usual . That hydraulic setup is definitely cool ! I’ve never seen that , I’ll have to check out the other video about it. They don’t make that for the 1025R do they ? Matt F
Thanks for watching Matt! I've seen a hydraulic top link setup on a 1025r a couple times. I think it was all done aftermarket.
Kim, I have a hydraulic top link on my 1025r. There's a short video on my channel. I used a cylinder from agrisupply and had some hoses made. About 200 altogether.
@@JustinHEMI05 how did you add the additional hydraulic function?
I've been ranching for 23 years. I have always been amazed that, even with "impossble" progress in science & engineering, the 3 point has had so few improvements. It still looks like an archaic British invention from the Industrial Revolution 190 years ago. Balogna bones to all the manufactures for pushing stupid designs like the 3 point for so look. It is the largest hassle I ever experience.
I have a 1026R and I have lost the snap ring twice on the rock shaft so I took it out to Tahoe a file to the grooves to clean them out. Now that I got it back together the rock shaft won’t lift the 3 pt hitch high anymore
I have a 3025e with no blade. I can’t get the box blade all the way down to the ground. It seems that the hydraulics won’t release to let the blade go all the way down. Do you have any ideas on what’s causing it to not go down. Thanks.
Jerry
Want to really hurt me? Take away my iMatch! Best invention EVER!
Turnbuckle stabilizer links on your 2R premium tractors? What was John Deere thinking??
Yeah, I'm not really sure.
Hello I have a question on the three point lift on the tractor, the part that is part of the tractor that the side links connect to (sorry not sure what they are called, i will call them the three point lift points). Should the right and left three point lift points be level from the factory? i just got a new 1025R and the right side looks lower then the left side. this can probably be compensated by adjusting the right side link, but should this be the case, or should the tractor lift points be level from the factory? Really enjoy your channel, and thought you would be the person to ask. would appreciate any comments you have. thank you,
Top link...you mentioned the pitch...so when the top link is longer the arena drag sits more even?? I would like to have the roller in the back have more pressure on the ground to compact the arena footing
I was waiting to see how you spin the rear pto when you don't have a mid pto, but didn't hear it. Is there a way? Thanks
Not sure, maybe try and see if putting the tractor in neutral (parking brake set) works?
I guess it is not as important with these smaller tractors, but with heavier tractors and implements, when attaching and detaching the PTO shaft, all the 3 points of the linkage should be attached, and it should be made sure that the tractor implement will not be able to move, when you are attaching and detaching the PTO shaft. You do not want to get crushed in there!
Yep, top & tilt is expensive, and not 100% necessary. But if you want to make something like a box blade an absolute pleasure to use properly, there is no substitute! And if you "amortize" the TNT's cost over the 15+ years you'll have your tractor, their not that bad. Finally, If you really want your TNT to perform at its best, be sure it has "dual piloted check valves" on both cylinders. These absolutely lock the cylinder in place once you've set it where you need it until you override that setting with your SCV controls.
Yeah, I agree on those check valves.
I have a QH and wondering if there is a way to QH bushing removable short of knocking out the roll pin?
I'd love to know of a solution as well, but not aware of any.
Yeah buy a set of pins that dont have the bushings and get rid of the quick hitch.
Great tips, although I have a Kubota, much of your info applies.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
yes Yes YES!
Thanks for watching!
Do you have to replace the lift pins on each implement when you want to use the QH?
No, but you do add a set of bushings to each attachment.
Thanks!
I'm not 100% on this, but as I recall that 3PH rate of drop setting is dependent on the weight of whatever is on the 3PH. Set it at that 2 second drop rate empty, hook onto 500 lbs of weight, and the 3PH will drop like a rock in free fall. 😉
Manual doesn't make mention of that, at least not the ones I checked. Thanks for watching!
I agree. ie. I make mine drop quickly when using a box blade to reduce humps when the rear tires go over something; not as fast running a brush cutter. The 3 bottom plough makes it drop like a rock.
You CAN do real work with a Quick Hitch! I use mine as a logging arch. No huge trees but if my hitch can hold up the 700# flail mower, it can lift one end of a log to drag it out where I can cut to length for carrying with the forks on the loader.
The problem that I have had is the quick hitch bottom hooks are fixed in width and do not easily accommodate all implements. “Pat’s Quick Hitch” attachments in my opinion are better and more adjustable
I’m new to the 1025R wondering which position should the pto lever be to use my 60 inch belly mower?
Mid PTO to run the belly mower.
Thank you!!!
Do you sell those 3 point pinned sway arms for a John Deere 2025r?
As a John Deere mechanic rtfm can save you alot of money
rtfm = Read The Fine Manual. I will let your imagination swap the f word for the...... f word.
My uncle has a John deer 300 x e hydro tractor it will start it will lift up and down but it won’t go forward or backwards it ran great a year ago when he parked it. What could it be
I hate to ask this and sound stupid, but is there any way to set the rear PTO to spin freely on 3e series without a mid-mount?
I'm not aware of a way
Dang, a nice neutral free spinning PTO feature should be on every tractor. I have beaten and bruised my arms and hands trying to line up the teeth on the PTO. I bought the PTO quick link and found that even that doesn’t line up perfectly for some reason?
I'm here for Mr. fly 5:27
I noticed that you hooked up the lower arms , one on the inside and one outside of the quick hitch uprights , was this intentional just wondering lol
I don't understand
The tractor’s 3pt hitch arms actually GO INSIDE and are surrounded by the black steel framing of the quick hitch on either side. In the video, it does look like he attached the right side 3pt arm to the inside of the tractor arm, but again, if you’ll look closer, the tractor’s 3pt arms are sandwiched between the gap in the quick hitch so the pin actually passes through 2 holes on the quick hitch and the tractor arm for a total of 3 round opening per side. I hope this helps both of you understand the illusion of the quick hitch seemingly being attached per your comment and helps the gentleman who created the video understand why you asked that question in the first place. Thanks!
The I match is worth every penny
Agreed, I love quick hitches.
My tym has a handle behind the cab to lower or raise the 3 pt....
Are you going to supply a tractor to Outdoor With The Morgan’s ?
Nothing in the works, but never know!
Have to smile at this! I watch Outdoors with the Morgan’s and he needs a tractor! What am I saying! I need a tractor!
I don't know about you but I don't want to have to start and stop my tractor 4 times just to attach an implement. Today I attached my chipper without even turning the tractor off. As long as there's no one near the controls, nothing is really gonna happen. You have the tractor in neutral, park brake off so you can move the tractor slightly (if you have a small one), PTO on mid setting so rear PTO is free to spin, rear link arms at the lowest setting so I can move them. AND I don't even have a quick hitch.
What could go wrong? Haha! I get it, just trying to interject a little safety into the mix is all :)
Hugs The great thing about America! You got choices! Google TRACTOR PTO Accidents. It may make you change your mind. Maybe not.

Good day
At the 15:40 time point in this video you say "You can't actually do any work with it" I don't understand what you mean here.
Thank you
Is that the fly from Breaking Bad at 5;30?
What information can you give me for the cylinder on the centerlink on the 4066r?
I recommend Fit Rite Hydraulics
What is the stroke length and the rod size ?
What is required to stop my 7ft titan Bushog from cutting into the driveshaft? I have a newholland workmaster60 with 500 hrs. I have gone through 2driveshafts. . Please help me ,I’m desperate. I can’t afford anymore driveshafts @$400+.
I cannot stop the Bushog from popping up and busting the driveshaft. Is a 7ft. Bushog only tobe used on flat fields? . I have some potholes(not many ) and when I go over them the deck of the Bushog pops up and cuts the driveshaft through the sleeve and then cuts into the drive shaft. 9:36 9:36

Howdy Mark.
@@GoodWorksTractors funny....when i started looking at tractors a few years ago the salesman was talking to me bout a 3 pt hitch and quick hitch. He said i could get a good used quick hitch online. I didnt even know what one was or what it did lol😆😅
Even flies want to be youtube famous these days!
Ha, apparently so!
My 3 point hitch quit working and a lite showing on the dash information alert
Why doesn't anybody suggest the quick hitches that don't need bushings? I have one from ranchex and it's awesome...save $15-25 per attachment.
I used to sell them through Worksaver and they quit making them.
@@GoodWorksTractors That's odd I wonder why. The one I got doesn't appear to be available anymore either: www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJVB864/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_CGTPEbTKAMXWH
I still want that 4066 R
Make him an offer.
I pulled it off the market, not selling for now
Great video, and so beneficial to the tractor community! Makes me glad I just ordered 2 implements (Brush Crusher 4215 and Pallet Forks) from Good Works Tractors! (And BTW, to interested readers, Courtney beat the price for the Brush Crusher, and CRUSHED the cost for shipping [pun intended], vs my "local" dealer. Try him out -- you'll no doubt be glad you did. Oh, and GWT is right at 1000 miles away from me!)
So anyway...
1) Love the fly's part in the video, but did it remind anybody else of the final scene with Norman Bates in the holding cell in the original Psycho (ua-cam.com/video/dYDxxHrlmUg/v-deo.html)? Just sayin'.
2) Is there a trick like the mid/rear PTO switch for tractors with no mid-PTO (e.g., 3038e)? I spent the better part of 15' yesterday trying to hook up the PTO on my stump grinder, and finally gave it up for another day. VERY frustrating!
3) I know what you MEANT about the quick hitch, but since I have one (not yours, but very similar), I feel compelled to mention that they are not that foolproof for older and/or non-QH compatible implements. That's still a frustration, even with a QH (unless you know something I don't!).
Again, thanks for your service to the tractor-owners community!
Haha, thanks for watching Tim, good stuff in your comments. I'm not aware of that PTO trick on machines with only rear PTO. Perhaps try putting the transmission in neutral with the parking brake set? The other thing I do in that situation is to get the 3 point connected and raise the implement just slightly off the ground. Enough so that you can freely spin the shaft of the attachment and get those splines to line up.
Yes, quick hitches are designed to work with quick hitch implements. I wouldn't say the quick hitches are fool proof, just not designed to work with non-quick hitch compatible attachments.
Have a good one Tim!
