Hello, I have a B1200 mini tractor with rotivator attached. I now need a plough to use on my Olive Grove in Spain. I bought a rear hitch kit and 3 point Aframe but they are both too big. Can anyone give me some advise on getting the right equipment to attach a plough to my tractor please? Thanks you in advance.

Tractordata indicates that the B1200 had a Cat 1 hitch. But the Kubota parts diagrams don't go back that far, so there's not much to go on. Could you post some pictures of the back of your tractor? Did you buy Kubota parts, if so, what part numbers? Although you have a B, the hitch may be closer to a BX.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
No, I didn't buy Kubota parts. Please see attached photos. Just so you know, I don't know anything about tractors.

I'm no expert on Kubota's, and especially a B1200. I'm hoping one of the experts will chime in.

1. The plow you want to use, is it 3 pt hitch compatible? Do you already have it?
2. There is a free pdf Operators Manual available at WWW.Kubotabooks.com. It has no reference to the 3ph, so was of no use for this issue. It covers the B1200, B1400, B1500, B1600, B1702 and B1902 which indicates that they're all similar.
3. You can use the search function on this site to find past posts.
4. There is a user, Rosohatica, on here now from Croatia who has a B1402, which may have a hitch like yours. Perhaps you could DM (direct message) him for pictures, measurements, etc.
5. Could you post a picture of the hitch parts you have?
6. Here are some diagrams of the hitch on a B1700, which may be similar to yours.

Rod 060 slides through a bracket, which I think is already on your tractor. Based on a recent post, you may have to remove a wheel to install this rod. Then the stabilizer bracket 140, spacer 130, and lower arm 110 slide on each end, secured with a pin.

The lift rods are pinned to the lower arms and upper arms. The right-side arm is adjustable to allow for leveling or tilting the implement.

The top link is pinned to the bracket on your tractor and to the implement. Its length is adjustable to make the angle of your plow what you need.

You can also do a Google search with 'B1200 site:www.orangetractortalks.com'. The results included this string
which included a reference to some 3pt parts which should fit your tractor. Do yours look like this?
