I saw one guy fabricated an adaptor using a 3 point hitch cross bar, fast hitch socket with an upright from that to hook top link. The moldboard plow is one item I can see creating a few problems, not just sure how the front coulter will fit under all that hitch. I know I have a fast hitch socket here from a 560, thought about building one of those adaptors, however I don't have a 3 point tractor. As it stands right now, no one that I know within 10 miles can use or want to borrow my implements. I had a neighbor, full time trucker, and weekend farmer with a 444 and 3 point plow, disk, cultivator, logging winch, etc. He was very generous about lending his implements, kind of tell the wife what you took. Every weekend when he decided to do some farming, he had to chase around the community finding his implements. Apparently he couldn't get his wife interested enough to write down who took what. For that reason, I've always decided it's best to have implements no one else can hook to. Did you ever notice how many guys have small 3 point tractors and not an implement to their name. Really all you have to do is build the adaptor, and use padlocks in place of hitch pins.
