How to attach a 3 point mounted implement 

This is the weirdest episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that I've ever seen. Must be the new season

Love your channel Neil! Subscribed and loving it! I've learned a ton and bought a lot of Kubota attachments because of your info! All the best!

I have been subscribed for a while and y'all helped me with making my decision to purchase A BX last summer . yalls videos are a lot of help

I cant thank you enough about the well detailed explanation and video to connect an implement on a 3 point hitch. My wife will be using our new Kubota tractor today and wanted to know the steps involved for installation and use.

Finally subscribed. Thanks for the reminder. Love watching the content!

Been a subscriber since last fall. I enjoy playing in the dirt and all my equipment is orange. Keep up the good work!

I love your helpful videos, every time I have an issue with doing something with my Kubota, I look for a Messick's video. I've worked in bridge construction and utility work for over 20 years. I bought my first personal tractor last year and feel like a greenhorn doing everything. Thanks for sorting me out!

Thanks for this video! I’ve helped my ex husband attach the implements on my Kubota before, but never by myself. I feel a lot more confident that I can hook up my finish mower now-possibly all by myself!

Kubota should be paying you all. You've sold thousands of tractors at other dealerships because of your videos. I'm proof of that with my BX23S here in western NY. Thanks and please keep them coming. From Uncle Bucks Gourmet Garlic Farm. BTW with this BX23S many more people will be delighted by the joys of gourmet garlic.

This channel has helped me so much, as a new Kubota owner! Including this video. Thank you!

Hi Neil, I've watched some of your videos occasionally in the past and liked them, so now I'm a new subscriber. I have a couple Kubota's and your never too old to learn something. Keep up the good work.

I don't own a Kubota but I love these videos, and while I may never buy from you (I own a Kioti), I appreciate all the work you all do to educate new and more experienced tractor owners (yes, I'm in the "New" category).

I'm no longer one of the 91%. I appreciate your content and subbing is literally the very least I can do to show it. Thanks for all the info and keep them coming.

Wish you guys were closer to me. I have really learned ton. Thank you for all your time and effort.

I’m glad you pointed out that most of your viewers are not subscribed. I watch every one of you videos but I never noticed that I’m wasn’t subscribed. Well now I am. Hopefully others have subscribed to your channel as well. You clearly put a lot of time and energy in your videos. I respect the quality of your videos. Keep it up.

Thanks so much for this video. I have a Kubota L3301 that I never took the bush hog off of until recently. When I went to put it back on I couldn't figure out how to attach the PTO shaft to the PTO takeoff. Showing how to slip back the collar was the trick I needed to know!

Great information Neil, keep up the good work Sir!!!

Glad to have subscribed. I'm a newbie with my new (2005) kubota B7800 so your clear discriptions are truly helpful.

Somehow he missed all the swearing I do when i'm hooking my my hitch.

You guys have a great channel. Informative and don't assume too much. I knew some of this stuff but nice to hear it all laid out.

finally a salesman that knows the product. an extreme rarity

Great video - exactly the clear instruction I’ve been looking for. Thanks!

Guy is an excellent instructor.

When dropping an implement it helps to position it on wood blocks or something similar. Not only does it minimize ground contact but it makes it much easier to "persuade" it to match up with your lower links by moving it slightly if necessary.... and I guarantee you it will be necessary.

Great video. I grew up on a farm/ranch and have driven a bunch of tractors, trucks and heavy equipment. I’m not arrogant enough to think I can’t learn more.

Another great informative video. I would add, whatever the hitch or implement , a pry bar, such as a five or six steel fence post, is an excellent addition to your Equipment yard to move the implement slightly up, down, left or right with little effort or muscle, that aides in lineup equipment to tractor hitch.

After a year with my Kubota, I am still learning. Keep making me the videos!

Thank you Neil my Tractor sales Friend. This is so informative, I have always been confused on the 3 Point hitch line up/ Hook up. You make it so easy to understand. Excellent Teaching Job.

Love these videos. Just got my BX23S.

I ♥️ all of your videos!!! Thank you! Very much!! Please don't stop

Super helpful. I haven't been on a tractor in a few years and just wanted to make sure I got it straight. Thanks!

Mr. Neil M is an excellent teacher and organized presenter. Very helpful

Thanks for that explanation of three point hitches. All helpful to new tractor owners.

You guys make good informational videos and whether i buy a Yanmar or Kubota i will still be here watching.

Subscribed some time ago. Love these videos!

I don't own a Kubota nor do I live close enough to you to use you as my dealer. Having said that, I do very much appreciate the wonderful content you are creating and consider the videos you are making an extremely valuable learning resource. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. The only way I can support you is to watch, give a thumbs up, and subscribe to your channel. Keep up the good work.

Fine, I clicked the subscription, fell for the peer pressure.

Thanks for your assistance on this issue. I was wondering if you could do a video on swapping wheels around to allow a wider distance and greater balance. My Kubota L3800 is good but with agriculture tyres it’s very easy to flip over. Thanks, Jimmy in Australia

Thanks for another informative video. I grew up around large ag equipment. But your videos are very handy to show, that compact tractors are a different breed. Keep up the good work. You've helped me decided on a brand I want to purchase sadly I'm not in your area so I can't purchase from yoy

Your videos are really helpful. Thanks for your efforts

this is why I love your videos ...you educate not try to sell ....thanks for what you do .. I am in se ok and am looking at a L4701 in about 6 months ...I grew up with a ford 801D power master so your videos are much appreciated you are bringing this old blind man up to speed a lot has changed so thanks again gm

A message to all of the new tractor owners! Always switch the engine off when attaching the pto!

Great informative vid, as always, Neil.

Thank you! Yes, everything is new for this tractor owner.

Always GOOD Stuff, subscribed about a years ago, THANKS ';-)

Always have great info!

The best tractor videos out hands down for a new tractor owner.Wish your shoo.was close I would absolutely give you my buisness.

Very good step by step video for the novice....like myself! : )

Love these videos; I only wish Messick's was closer to Wisconsin!

Glad to see the professional struggle a little with connecting the PTO. I have trouble sometimes and greasy hands after.

Great vids. Entertaining and informative.

Really good video. Thank you!

Great learning video, thank you. Just subscribed.

Neil....as always, right on target!

Great video and information !have a great day ! Kioti Curt 👍🚜

great info Neil. new to this learning lots excellent videos

Thank you ! Great information

Hey I’m one of the 9% lol good video very informative thanks

I love this video, I wish to visit your company very soon .

Good call! I have parasitised your info but not 'voted' with my subscription. Fixed now. Really enjoy your presentations.

Yup, those pins hurt when they close on your knuckles. I've done that plenty of times, and thats with the thicker ones. I've learned not to play with them and to not open them untill everything is hooked up. (P.S. I just subscribed)

I have a hydralulic top ling . Great to attach and to adjust the implement on working situation.

I love the quick hitch. If I get an implement that the top link don’t fit right I bust out the torch and welder and make it fit. All my implements hook up with ease, some just took some modifications.

Great video!

Thanks just purchase a new L3902 this helped look for how to start the shredder once it connected

There are quick hitch options that are lower link only. They are also independent from each other. Tractor Mike did a video on them a couple of months ago.

Thanx for the review....done well.

It's definitely worth it. The $120 quick hitch from Harbor Freight does the job good. I have 1000 lbs of counterweight on it. Don't use the $30 bushings, use the $3 sleeves. Remove the bolts from the top hook and put in quick easy to move pins instead. Now when I buy implements I just make sure that they will match up to it. Get an adapter plate with spaced-out pinholes for the top for some of the implements .

A helpful add on to this video would be quick hitch that has a floating implement, such as that deck you were using. Another question would be with the finishing mower you had in this video, the two arms that hook into the 3 point arms, are they supposed to be in the slot that allows for minor up/down movement like in your video or the two static holes above, when coupled to a a quick hitch to allow the deck to float?

Been a subscriber for a long time. Like the knowledge even tho tractors are supposed to be green. Lol j

Great vid! Many thanks

Love your videos

Subscribed and thank you for all the Kubota info. I come here first for info before asking the Goog's. lol

I use a four foot bar to move the implement into position when attaching. It's easier on the boot and the ankle.

great info, thank you

Now that's a beautiful lot of Kubotas. 🤗. I bet they take them all inside ,or, wrap them in bubble wrap at night. 🙂

Thank you for the video

I like the video,s good info thank you

great video

Back in the day it used to be quite common for the right hand 3PH lift link to have a hand crank to aid in attaching implements. You would attach the pin on the left side and then turn the crank to raise or lower the right side to aid in getting it attached. This crank could also be used to level an implement side-to-side. Most SCUT/CUT makers like JD and Kubota no longer put the crank handles on the lift links which is a bummer. They all still have some type of adjustment mechanism but these days it's more for leveling rather than helping to attach the implement. I believe New Holland still has the cranks on a lot of their models.

I’m old enough to remember pto shafts with no guards. More than one man in my little town who lost fingers and arms and lives because of this.

Yep, lots go on just to view content, but they all should subscribe, that way we all benefit

How about a complete fluid/filter change. A lube job including covered PTO shaft. I've got an L2501 and would like to know that I've been doing it right.

Thank you, Jon Cryer.

Just subscribed. Thanks

Nice Goodman AC at your shop

Fantastic thanks man

Everytime my wife hears your tune she gives me this death stare. LMAO Tractor time.

Great tips Neil. Turn off tractor should be #1

Merci Bravo

thanks for the info.

Putting all your implements on dollies so you can move them around and don't have to worry about positioning the tractor just right saves a ton of time...

Vert good video.

Hi. Love the videos. I just bought my first box blade. Can I drop the mower deck while the box blade is held up? I can’t seem to figure out if they can work independently.

must be nice to have new stuff, my b7100 is not that easy. Can you do one on taking off a backhoe for a B2320

One thing you should have said is that you should always park your implements on flat level ground. When I started using my father-in-law's bushhog I was getting annoyed that it would take a solid ten minutes to hook up, whether I was hooking it up, his farm hand, or both of us together. He has it sitting on a mixture of railroad ties and a concrete blocks...while being about 6-8 inches higher than the path. One time I didn't finish mowing one weekend so I detached it just on the driveway off to the side and the next weekend it took me all of 30 seconds to get it on.

Hi Neal, Love your videos! I've got a question about the PTO shaft. I grew up farming with old pre-1970's tractors and have recently gotten a new JD5045(my family's first new tractor in decades). I was surprised to see that the PTO shaft didn't have a lock-pin hole that would allow me to use my old implements. Everything now is quick-connect. This apparently has been standard for quite some time as I discovered while asking around for a good solution. I got a lot of blank, confused stares when I was trying to explain my situation. I finally found online a short PTO shaft extender that was quick connect and had the lock-pin hole tapped that solved my problem, but I'm wondering when that standard changed and if anyone else out there has encountered this same dilemma?

4:40 I've heard a few horror stories from family members about people being hurt/killed by a pto shaft. One story was a guy in highschool my aunt knew was out working with his tractor when something got wrapped around the shaft. He grabbed it from the seat without thinking and got ripped off the seat and both arms wrapped around the shaft ripping them both off. He regained consciousnesses got up and went to his house to used a pencil to call a friend who lived near town to get help. As his home wasn't close to any emergency services. It was a rural area in northeast Pennsylvania in the early 70s.

Wonder how many Lancaster County subs are out there? I know of at least one out in East Earl (New Holland)... ;-)

I just spent about half an hour trying to get a brush mower off my Kabota and kind of wondered if there was something I was missing, so I did a googled it and found this video. And the answer is nope; 3 point hitches are just a pain in the ass. 🤣
