I viewed that site before. Fairly simple idea. My Allis Chalmers D-15 has a similar setup because it was not designed as a three point hitch. A modified snow plow mount with extended movable arms and a small hydraulic ram.
The problem lies in the fact there is no way to introduce a pto shaft. Most useful three popint attachments I have require this. I doubt if this mount... an extension of the existing inch and a quarter square tube mount, is going to be that sturdy and have the side to side strength to hold up with turning a heavy attachment. The tube rear frame is a good suspension for hauling loads in the box. It is not the answer to replace my compact tractor that was engineered for this purpose.
A minor modification on a snow plow frame should net the same results

That's good to know Agent Blue.I have no use for it myself but thought it was interesting. bordercollie

I could see use for it, it would be great for a small rear blade or something along those lines. Nothing I'd want but neat just the same.

Guys, I have had a Koplin Dirtworks 3 point on my 900 since last year. I used the blade for snow last winter, and the box scraper ends on the blade for driveway maint etc. Works pretty dang good and is not huge expensive and has a electric lift motor. That could easily be changed to tie into the hydraulic system which would be even better. Same width as 900, so works out pretty good.

and here is where I bought it and also the hitch mount for the RTV which is WAY stronger than the baby hitch from Bota. You can see in the picture below, this hitch replaces the rear trans cover, and bolts right on. So far, it has proved very strong, and has shown no bending sideways, or otherwise.

Bonus is, this also gives you a full size hitch to move trailers and other things around with ease.

I bought one of the Farmboy hitches from RTV Hitchworks at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville in February. Not only have I been able to use the snow plow I also got from them (which is great since it sticks far enough out in front of the Kubota to be able to be seen) but I've hooked up a 2 row Yetter planter and a disk harrow and they worked great!

Further, due to my arthritis, the Farmboy hitch used with my RTV 1100 is much easier on me to use than the tractors, since its easier to get in and out of. Less stress on my joints. This setup has saved me a lot of time and pain.

Mark, the hitch plate I have has been brilliant. I sure have put it to the test, as I bladed heavy snow this last winter, and just the other day was out with my box scraper attachment grading my drive and road. All good, no complaints. As it is a standard 2" hitch, way better than the very small stock hitch so low down on the rear axle.

We at UTV Hitchworks would like to thank you for your post on May 29, 2011 where you informed everyone about our 3-point hitch, “The Farmboy”. It was great to see the news spread beyond what we ourselves are doing, especially in forums such as this one. We just wanted to let you know that we don’t take for granted the contributions of people such as yourself and give you the thanks you deserve. We received an order for a Farmboy from someone who saw our product through your post here. Once again, thank you.

Staff, UTV Hitchworks
