Using Your Cyclone Rake with a 3-Point Hitch

Understanding 3-Point Hitches

The 3-point adapter is a standardized method of attaching implements (equipment) to larger garden tractors. The hitch uses two lower connection points and one upper point which provides a rigid connection. Hydraulic cylinders operate on the lower arms to raise and lower the implement.

If the back of your tractor looks like the picture shown here, then you would need to purchase our 3-Point Hitch Adapter. Our 3-Point Hitch Adapter is built from heavy-gauge steel with custom welds and a beautiful, rust-resistant powder coat to give you years of reliable service. We do have a 3-Point Hitch adapter that is designed to fit mowers with either Category 0, Category 1, or John Deere's iMatch hitches.

The installation instructions should definitely make it clearer how the 3-Point hitch connects to your tractor. Just click on the link provided to view them: 208T 3 pt Hitch Instructions.
