[QUOTE="ibetyamissedme, post: 1112083, member: 21092"] What you are calling a three point is nothing more than the adapter allis sold to their customers so they could convert three point equipment to snap couplers. Initially these adapters were mounted to the piece of equipment itself. Whenever you wanted to hook up to said piece of three point equipment, all you did was back up to the adapter and snap it on to the tractor. Obviously there was a problem with this concept. The top link did not allow for pto use. As years passed operators started fastening the top link to the rocker shaft. Well now with top link attached to rockershaft it did not unsnap easily, so over time they just got left on the tractor. However leaving it on the tractor all the time made the use of the snap coupler awkward, reason being was the pin drawbar hitch commonly used today no longer worked without removing the adapter. so now the operators torched the adapter off from the snap coupler and either welded it to the pin drawbar snap coupler hitch or bolted it there. These things you call 3 point hitches are nothing more than equipment adapters that people Macgyvered to their tractors. A true 3 point hitch does not pull from the snap coupler. [/QUOTE]
