[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1339051, member: 14713"] I've never been around a 3pt mower, but would a 3 pt quick hitch be helpful, or potential trouble? My experience tells me I shouldn't use a quick hitch with PTO powered attachments. Last winter I used my Cat II quick hitch with the snowblower. Had to be careful when lowering the snowblower because the PTO shaft interfered, so I raised the skid shoes on the snowblower. I also used a 540 to 1000 PTO adapter from the farm store and made every effort to run the tractor at half throttle or less. Didn't think I was overspeeding or abusing the PTO, but the made in China adapter messed up the splines on my tractor PTO shaft. So from now on I don't intend to use the quick hitch or the PTO adapter on the snowblower again. My snowblower experience would lead me to advise caution to anyone considering using a quick hitch on a mower. [/QUOTE]
