If you've got an older International Harvester, Deere, Oliver, or Allis-Chalmers tractor with-out a 3-pt. hitch, you'll be interested in this add-on unit that bolts onto the existing draw-bar.

"They work as well as conventional 3-pt. hitches found on modern tractors," says Gary Pinkelman, Hartington, Neb., manufacturer. "They come pre-assembled and are raised and lowered by a single 3 by 6-in. hydraulic cylinder, with a second cylinder optional. Only four bolts are needed for installation. The hitch weighs about 200 lbs. and has a lift capacity of up to 2,500 lbs. Both lift arms are adjustable and sway blocks are included.

"Some older tractors that have factory-equipped hitches are selling at auctions for more than the same model without a hitch.

Most demand is to fit Deere and IH tractors but Pinkelman can custom-fit many other models.
