clueless 2,976 #1 Posted April 5, 2017 I've have both a clevis hitch and the older sleeve hitch with a clevis hitch insert. I'm going to put them on my 312-8 and my B80, nether have the rear rock shaft. The B80 has the cable and the trans tub, the 312 just has the tub, can get the cable from Lowell. My question is with out the rear rock shaft, how much weight can the hitch lift? I have a tiller, but the 416 (Onan) is already set up for it. I would be using these for attachments like my 10in plow, spreader, aerators, trailer, and disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted April 5, 2017 Without the rock shaft it doesn't work the way it's supposed too, the cable pulls the rock shaft then the rockshaft in turns lifts the clevis hitch unless it's on the xi series, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,020 #3 Posted April 5, 2017 You can use it the without the clevis but raising a plow or disc is a bear! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,155 #4 Posted April 6, 2017 I've used the plow with out the rocker shaft and it can be a pain and will put added stress on lifting assembly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
