Super C 3 point

Anonymous-0 · Jan 8, 2012

My nephew has a Super C & wants to install an aftermarket 3 point hitch. I looked on the Saginaw website & didn't see one for a Super C, but Worksaver has one. I also looked in the archives & found some comments about the Worksaver indicating it has low lifting power. Does anyone know if it will raise a brush hog or a small disc? I'd hate to see him spend a fair amount of money & be less than satisfied. Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't know about the Worksaver, but the Saginaw is a great 3 point. Give them a call. I had one on my Super C. They have the block to slip into the hydraulic system for a return, and they also sell the valve setup. Very good unit. It's a one-piece setup, so you can lift it off if you want to use the side mower like I had. I used quick disconnects on the hydraulic hoses to aid in quick removal.

Call Saginaw, they have one for the C/Super C. Has one cylinder, much better than using the front rockshaft. They also have the control valve and bypass block for the valve. You need that unless yours came from the factory with it.

I have a Saginaw 3 pt on my Super C. I'm real happy with it. It will lift my 5ft brush hog but I still run it without the top link though. I like the down pressure on it to run my post hole digger. I took my tractor to him and he installed it along with the valve you need to run it. I also had the hydraulic pump rebuilt before I installed the hitch. I did stop in there over Xmas and he said he was raising the price on his hitches the first of the year.

Funny story. I also had one on my 300, and using the down pressure using a post hole digger. One time using it in damp clay ground, the post hole digger actually screwed itself into the ground and I had to dig it out with a shovel.

Dave, I have a 2 point Ottawa fast hitch auger for my Super C and I just let it down an inch or two at a time. If you have sufficient weight on the front of the tractor it will just slowly go down as controlled. I don't use the down pressure to push the auger down as it generally will go on it's own unless there is an obstacle but to keep the auger from screwing itself into the ground like you mention. That can also happen around roots and rocks as well. Hope this helps in the future as I can't imagine how much effort would be required to hand dig the auger out, Hal.

For us, the usual method was to put a wrench on the pto shaft and unscrew it. That worked better with a transmission driven PTO than an IPTO that had a PTO brake. With an IPTO, you had to uncouple the shaft.

It only happened once... I got smart real quick.
