How best to add 3pt hitch

I would start with a trailer mover frame to get the geometry right. May be able to get one that has some removable receiver so it can fit into that existing hitch area. Then some braces to the top to support it.

Thanks Russell for your reply. I’m thinking of cutting that ‘Brimley’ type hitch off and welding on a regular 3pt hitch. However, I’m also thinking putting on some dots of receiver hitch to pull with a 3pt hitch

Also I can buy an inexpensive 3pt hitch off Amazon with receiver already built into it.

Just a thought. A Belaurus (front) Suitcase Weight Mount looks like it would marry up to that pretty well. That might be something you could track down easily.

Do you think it would work to just cut off the brimley and weld on a piece of 2” tube steel to work with a 3pt receiver I can buy off Amazon ??

Thanks but I’m not familiar with a Belarus weight mount??? I’m just wanting to pull this plow thing and use as a rake. Just needing to make or dab a way to use my tractors 3pt hitch. Thinking the tube steel receiver would be easiest

Ok. I see what you mean now. Would I just weld this to the plos in photo, or , get one that has the receiver where this one has the trailer ball and then just weld a short piece of 2”tube steel on plow to mate with the receiver????
