140 3 pt hitch conversion ?

Stephen in SoKY · Apr 24, 2009

What's involved in converting a 140 to standard 3 point hitch? Generally speaking what's the cost involved? Must the conversion be removed to use the mounted cultivators either front or rear? Same questions for a Super A. Thanks very much for your time.

Stephen: Depends a lot on how the 140 is currently equipped. 3 point hitch conversions are very easy to build if tractor is equipped with fast hitch. I have 3 point hitches on my 130 and 140 fast hitch tractors and I can switch from 1 point fast hitch to 3 point hitch, or vice versa in less than 5 min. and without the use of wrenches. I can also switch to my rear cultivators almost as fast.

If the tractor has a standard U type drawbar, 3 point hitch will be more expensive to build and like the drawbar will have to be removed to use the cultivator. A very cumbersome job at best.

I build hitch kits for these tractors, and I can build a kit that speeds up the change over on the U drawbar tractors. It makes it so one can change from drawbar, to cultivator to 3 point by removing nothing more than hair pins. Quick to change and convenient to use, but it will cost close to $1,200. One can built much the same for a fast hitch 140 for roughly $500. I'm not talking about what has been on the market for years, but rather hitches that will lift 600 to 1,000 lbs.

Thanks guys. I really could use another one row tractor, but I need to be able to lay plastic mulch & use my Holland one row setter on my "new" one row tractor. I"ll be darned sure any 140/Super A has the 1 point hitch. Hugh, if I find one, You"ll be getting a message. Thanks again, Stephen

Can you help us with switching over from a 2 point hitch to a 3 point hitch? We have an International Harvester Farmall Super C. I think it's a 1949. If you can, please email me. Thanks

Alina: Super C with 2 point fast hitch is the easy one. There are kits on the market, in the $200-300. range. No use trying to compete with that one on fabrication.

Ocasionally you see them in YT photo adds, classifieds or watch e bay. I expect the new ones are coming from either Worksaver or Saginaw Tractor.
