Mattd160 73 #7 Posted October 22, 2017 Id like to find a mower for the 3 point hitch but don't even know where to start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"D"- Man 827 #8 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Because of the higher RPM speed, the Wheel Horse / Woods 60" finish mower is about all that is compatible to attach to the 3 point. Edited October 23, 2017 by "D"- Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #24 Posted October 27, 2017 Lookin' good @Mattd160! I would love to have one of these beasts. I almost bought one at the Charlottesville auction, but with the scarcity of parts and not knowing the running condition of any of them, I backed down. That will be one nice machine when you are done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
