Hi,
My first post on the forum - I have found existing posts very helpful so thanks to all who have posted but am now unsure.
I have a 1000hr BX2200 with 54 inch deck and a collector which I bought used last year. I understand cars and so have been able to do all the fluids and filters on the Kubota but am a complete tractor novice.
I'd like to buy and fit a 3 point hitch in order to use a log splitter and auger. I can see where the top arm and the lower arms would hook up but I can't work out where the lifting linkages attach. I expect there to be two linkages connected to short arms driven by the hydraulics. Looking at the back of the tractor having removed the collector, there is a short arm pointing forwards which raises and lowers the mower deck. This is attached to the right hand side of a horizontal casing on the transmission case (can post pics if useful). On the other end of this casing, where I might expect there to be another arm, is just a blank bolt.
So... do I need to do anything or can I just buy the 3pt hitch and fit it? And if so, how?
Any advice much appreciated!
Tom
