John Deere 318 Ruegg 3 Pt Install

Hey Every body! B-rad here. Today I installed this Ruegg 3pt Hitch onto my John Deere 318. Its a long video but covers pretty much everything unlike some other install videos. Install went pretty good, minus a few flubs. Overall I really like it so far. Waiting on my first implement to arrive. When it does I will upload a video of it in action. Thanks for watching.

I just ordered a Ruegg Cat 1 for my 420. This was a nice video.

[@mikebintner2864]

Thanks for the great video and The Link to Ruegg. They look to be the resource I've been needing for my 445 to add this.
One Question ... Is the Mower Deck Lift still functional after installing this hitch? Do they work in tandem from the single hydraulic cylinder ... One moves and the other moves also?
Thanks for your time and clarification.

[@BRadWilson3]

Yes mower lift is still functional. If you had the deck on, it would raise and lower with the 3pt. Thanks for watching

[@brenthoff138]

Looking to do this to my new to me 318. Looks like a pretty straight forward install. I assume just the kit is needed and no valve changes or anything etc? Will this still work if I have a mower deck installed? This is new to me! Thanks!

[@BRadWilson3]

Correct everything included. Yes your mower deck with still go up an do with the 3pt.

[@ShortsvilleBob]

Thanks for the great video! Was that a cat 0 or cat 1 Ruegg hitch?

[@BRadWilson3]

Cat 0

[@michaelungerman]

Hi B-Rad did you put on a cat 0 or cat 1. Apologies if you mentioned it in video. Thank you.

[@BRadWilson3]

Cat 0. You can get a cat 1 aswell, but some of the attachments are pretty big for the 318.

[@FranconiaFriend]

@@BRadWilson3 First thanks for posting this - I just put one on my recently purchased 316, and this really helped. I did buy a cat 1 because I wanted it to be able to share attachments with my slightly larger tractor. Acknowledge that many of the cat 1 attachments will be too big for the 316, but I figure I can also use cat 0 with this one (I have a few of those). The cat 1 was on sale, $75 less than the cat 0 - maybe because not enough people wanted the cat 1?

[@johnstratton5637]

where u order the 3 point hitch from what type of back blade does it used

[@BRadWilson3]

You can order a Ruegg hitch on eBay or look him up online. You can call and order one. I don't have a rear blade, you could make one or probably order one.

[@jasonjohnson8052]

Did you go cat 1 or cat 0

[@BRadWilson3]

Cat 0
