Add-On 3-Pt Hitch For Older Grain Drills
![]() |
![]() |
The 10-ft. wide drill hitch fits Cat. II and III quick hitches and can accomodate drills 10 to 14 ft. wide. You simply remove the drill's pull-type hitch and bolt the drill to the new hitch. The hitch frame is made from 3-in. sq., 3/16-in. thick steel tubing and 3-in. angle iron.
"It's especially useful for farmers with fields scattered several miles apart," says Lofquist. "Pull-type drills can be pulled only about 4 to 5 mph and suffer some wear and tear on the road. Older drills can be bought so cheap that some farmers buy several and leave them out in far-flung fields all year long. Our drill hitch eliminates the need for that.
"The hitch fits Deere, IH, and most other brands and can be painted to match the color of the drill. It's easy to install although some bolting and welding to the drill may be required. Some farmers remove the packer wheels. And some make use of loops at the back of the hitch to pull a drag chain or harrow behind the drill."
Sells for $440.
