Kubota B21 - 3 Point Hitch

[Gatesway]

I have a 2006 B21 and need a 3 point hitch kit. I'm sure I'll have to go aftermarket as the cost at the dealer would be huge - they say I have to buy each piece individually. Wow.

So, with that, do any of you have advice as to where you bought yours or where I could check?

Thanks,

John

Check with Weavers- www.compactractorparts.com.
If you want telescoping stabilizers, message me- I make them.

I did and they sent me one that was too small! So, I had to pay for shipping to and from Weavers. Maybe I'll try them again.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Try West Kentucky Tractor Parts- www.wkytpstore.com- they might have a used set.

Thanks Hodge. I did and they don't. Have other suggestions?

If you can find out the dimensions, you can find the right parts at Weavers- they sell a lot of 3 point components. Or, you can go to the dealer, but that will be the highest price. But, original parts may be worth the money to you.
Otherwise, there aren't many avenues for 3 point systems.

They are a salvage yard.

You might consider calling around to the local rental yards in your area to find out who has a B21. Then, head down and see if they will let you measure the arms and take pics of theirs. I'd do it in person, not call and ask as it's harder for them to say no that way...

The other option would be to check with your local Kubota dealers as well as other tractor dealers to see if anyone has one (new or used) that you could measure.

Lastly, a want ad on Craigslist describing what you need to measure and inquiring asking if anyone has one. You might be surprised and get an answer...

At least this way you will know the correct sizes of what you need to order. Of course, factory parts are best if you can find them...

Just a couple of ideas.

Thanks to all of you for these ideas. I'll consider taking measurements from another B21 - or, as I understand it, from a B26 (the same kit fits both). However, then the task remains as to where to find the right parts.

Also, as I understand it, the only parts that fit onto the "onboard" storage places on the B21 are kubota parts. The aftermarket ones don't store. That is another factor.

Again, thanks for the help!
