What were you doing that bent up that hitch? I just bought one for my farmall M and am fearing that I should have had it reinforced before I assembled it...
I was using a box blade with the scarifiers down preparing a food plot. There were some roots and rotten stumps that ended up bending it. I actually have another video of that work called "using farmall 300 with box blade and loader to clear good plot". I am very happy with the reinforced version.
GuyStuff I see you don’t have any grease zerks on your hitch. I’m thinking of adding some on the pre drilled holes on that top bar. I’ll have to give it a shot and see what happens, was Tony’s easy to work with when your hitch was bent?
I greased it up as I assembled...good idea on the fittings though. Tony was great to work with to get a new one when the design was wrong and had to move the cylinder to the other side (pto didn't fit). There was another guy on UA-cam with a bent hitch and they sent him a new one too.
thats cool they are so responsive!
Can you still run this three point with the hydronic couplers?
I dont think so...used the rear hydraulics for the piston on the 3 pt hitch.
Ok thanks
Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the kit?
It was from tonystractors.com
Great video, you are very talented. Thank You!

so are these modifications standard on all the new kits or just yours?
john doe ... If you are considering one and have a live pto I'd ask to make sure they send you one like this.
GuyStuff , I'm looking at one for a 350. their website just shows the one like the one you replaced.
If you had the angle iron you could make your own
would it be possible to email me demensions so i can weld up my own
