Building a 3 point, need advice

Dan W MN · Jan 1, 2011

Hi, I'm working on the design for a 3 point hitch for my farmall M but have some questions as to spacing between link pivot points and the minimum height of the implement pins from the ground. I have attached a picture of what I've got so far, please take a look and let me know if you see anything that looks wrong. I suspect I'm going to want my rear link pins to be able to get lower to the ground. let me know what you think. Thanks a bunch, and happy new year!

Sorry, that picture got pretty small, try this one.

Here a 3pt hitch that works better for less time and less money than building your own.

Worksaver makes three point hitch kits for Farmall Ms. Their website has the parts display. There's also an article on this website about it. Worksaver hitches for Farmall Ms have about 13 inches of lower lift arm ground clearance adjustable down to about 6 inches. Trust me, it's a lot easier and faster to order one already made , especially for a Farmall.

I've got a Saginaw hitch on my Farmall H. It cost about $600. Really, I think it is better than a lot of oem hitches.

I built a 3 point for my AC WD45 that I like, just because I did it, and it suits me. Draft control works and no sway chains. I think lift arms should go down to 9 inches and up to 36 inches. My 6060 AC has the best 3 point geometry of all our tractors. The next is our 4320 Compact JD. I would measure one of these. I have noticed a lot of 3 point kits the lift arms are to far back for the PTO. Be sure and measure this.
