Farmall 100 Fast hitch lift capacity?

chad from michigan · May 13, 2009

I have a Farmall 100 with fast hitch. I just picked up a 5' king kutter brush hog made for 3 point but missing the 3 point brackets. Question is sell it or use one of my extra fast hitch prongs and make it a fast hitch brush mower.
I got the mower next to nothing someone had it rigged up for a Farmall A which didn't work well the way they were dragging it.
King Kutter says it ways approx 525 pounds.
it is a model # L-60-40-P
Is this to much for the 100? what do you think?

Chad: If I were going to use that mower, I'd build a 3 point kit for the 100. The 100 fast hitch should lift 600 lbs. providing the weight is close enough to tractor. The other item you must consider is route of PTO shaft. PTO shafts are not 100% user friendly with one point fast hitch.

If you wish send me an e mail and I'll show you how to built a 3 point kit that can be changed from 1 point to 3 point, or vice versa, in less than 5 min. and without wrenches. The 3 point will lift close to 40% more than 1 point. You will build this hitch for less than $400.00, using professional fabrication and new 3 point hitch replacement parts.
