WD45 3 point question

[Devron30]

I dont know AC tractors and have an opportunity to buy a WD45. I come from Ford tractors with the 3point hitch as a standard item. The WD45 has an add on 3pt hitch. Can you look at the picture and see if everything looks ok with the 3pt add on? Thank you

Looks pretty much normal

I don't see any sway control.Those after market 3pt adapters work OK for some implements not so well with others but never going to work like an original 3pt on a 3pt hitch tractor from the factory.

The only thing missing is the sway control bracket. Do a Google search for "cross cm0157" and it'll be the first thing to pop up. May or may not be necessary to have depending on what you want to do.

What equipment would you shy away from with this add on 3pt?

Any implements requiring traction boost or draft control will not work correctly with this set up, it may work enough to get the work done. But it wont work to its full potential. Also that last picture has the drawbar extended way out. Not sure why, this could cause problems hooking up some implements. It may be adjustable, cant tell. But its out way too far.
I hate to say it, it if youre use to Fords, you want like this 3 point set up. Just my opinion. And Im an Allis person.

With out adding something to stop side to side movement I'd not use it at all. You need at the very least stay chains so the arms cannot go out and hit the tires

If it has any hope of draft control, you'd have to loosen the drawbar bail and make sure the draft arms are attached to the drawbar (which is snapped into the snap-coupler bail.) The top link receiver is very poor. top link attached like that you won' lift high enough to lift a plow out of the ground. Also, that top link attachment looks like it would slide side to side, have to be fixed.

 

[Devron30]

Would I still be able to get to the pto with this?

 

[Aaron SEIA]

Traction booster would work just fine with that hitch as long as the drawbar isn't bolted solid to the bail. Leave it loose enough to slide. PTO also works. Thats the feature of that style hitch. I've got one on my D17 and it works good.

Do you know where I can find a proper top link attachment piece?

Quick easy fix. Heavy-duty pipe clamp on each side of top link receiver. BTDT (;>))
