NOTE: Offset Adaptor Hitches are available to position the mower to the left or right. Mowers with Offset Adaptor hitches connect to the 3-Point hitch the same way as the mower A-frame. See Offset Adaptor Hitch in the Assembly Section for details to equip the mower with this feature.

5.2 3-Point Quick Hitch

Our 3-Point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to a Quick-Attach Coupler making mounting and dismounting your mower easier. The 3-Point Quick Hitch is also designed to connect the cutter to a tractor’s three-point linkage without the use of a Quick-Attach Coupler.
