    Just came in from working on my land, and discovered I really need a three-point hitch for my tractor.
    I like how you describe things while building this hitch. Certainly is heavier duty than I can buy 'on-line' ! Looks like you've build a good hitch assembly here.
    Thanks for the ideas!

      @@thardyryll I was introduced to these "post" drills a couple of years ago. I was in a friends shop and he had one right next to an electric drill press. He had me use the post drill and I was amazed and fascinated . Took me 3 years of searching estate and yard sales until I found one for my shop. Very glad to have it.

    Nice. I am considering making one for skidding logs, but with horizontal and vertical 2" receivers (for bumper pull and gooseneck). Titan makes a "Transformer" attachment that comes closest to what I want. These are either not in stock or unavailable. Time to build one better. BTW, the top vertical receiver would accommodate a slide in gooseneck hitch ball and/or a cantilever log boom. I'd also make a bumper plate that would slide into the horizontal receiver so a skidded log wouldn't bang into the hitch.

    • @thedelcodave
      @thedelcodave  11 месяцев назад +1

      I like what you are describing. I am sure what you build will be stronger than the store bought alternatives. I like the bumper plate idea if I start skidding logs I might have to make one to fit my hitch.

    I'd be perfectly fine with trusting those welds. 👍 Nice to see you tackle this project, as the cheap junk metal you get with an 'affordable' 3 point usually ends up as a thin wall POS that might work for awhile but will distort and bend all to crap when you need to work it. Even if you spend the equivalent in new steel and DIY one yourself, at least you know you're going to end up with a quality unit that will be a lifetime item when you really need it to work!
    That's kind of the fun part of fabricating your own implements, too. You don't have to follow the standard form and can make anything you want to do a given job, it can be totally overbuilt and take a beating. Doesn't much matter if it's pretty, so long as it's functional. If you end up with both, that's a bonus! I've got a plow project in the works that is cut out of an old boiler, it sure won't be pretty, but it's literally built like a tank, haha.

    • @thedelcodave
      @thedelcodave  2 года назад +1

      I agree I looked at the cheap junk and it looked so flimsy. I have amassed all these tools and need to come up with excuses to learn how to use them lol prime example would be my sawmill build....that was a big project testing all my self taught skills. I would love to see a picture of this plow project sounds like it will be a beast.

"I just need to grade a spot for a workshop..." Isn't that how this always starts? 😁 It does give good excuses to play with new tool acquisitions though, like a plasma cutter!
