I've seen several threads in the past discussing 3 point hitches for the D2. I've been doing some discing with my D25J and thought some of you might have an interest. If you look close at the upper arms on the disc you'll see the bends in the arms, they come from getting a little too aggressive on the power down. 😮

I've never seen a 3 point on a tractor.
Where does it attach?

It replaces the drawbar and mount and uses the same attachment points.

It probably will tear the threads right out of the casting. I've seen this happen to tractors with just a drawbar. I can't imagine the stress with that disc and a quick turn 180.

Better go easy, that's way to much leverage for a D2 mounting.
Does that mount tie in to the forward drawbar attachment point at all?

The mount goes under the tractor just like the draw bar and attaches with the same hardware. This 3pt places the tension on the same points that the draw bar does. When the 3pt is in the down position it is not much different than a draw bar. I will say that without the counter balance of the blade on the front the D2 would not be able to lift an implement as heavy as as disc because it rocks backwards. This setup allowed me to disc flooded weedy pasture when my wheel tractor just sank and had to be pulled out (with the D2). As far as being able to turn 180 degrees with the disc in the down position, I can't do that with a wheeled tractor either. A 3pt lets you pick up the implement to position it, that's the whole idea. 😊

How does the blade counter balance the tractor when the tractor pivots on the trunnion?
Your at the mercy of the two bolts that limit the spring from lifting off the track frame.😄

Hi, Side Seat.
The blade acts as a counter-balance THROUGH those two retainer bolts. You are absolutely right. They ARE all that are between staying flat and standing up on the rear.

Hi, D2mq.
Thanks for the photo and the information but may I suggest that you make sure that the two bolts and their ferrules that stop the ends of the equaliser spring lifting out of their mounts on the track frames are in good condition.

Happy plowing.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
