Looking for a 3 point for my Cub Cadet 1872
 

I’m looking for a 3 point for my Cub Cadet 1872. Anyone know where I can find one, or who sells them?

thanks.

Try checking with Sponsors Patton or Houtz, as listed at the top of the page.

Here is what I Put On My 2182 http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/3-Po...Cub-Cadet.html 82 Series Cub Cadet - Modified Kit

Any 3point Invest In a Good sealant for the Transmission Bolts Otherwise You get a slight Leak

I have since converted the Hitch to a Limited Cat 1 3 point with the Help of some Part's From Bill Ruegg (known for aftermarket John Deere 3 point Hitches)

BTW Houtz Has No 3 points In stock

Bill Ruegg is the only person that sells the correct hitch for the Cub Cadet SGT's.

Here is one I put on one of my 1572's.
Attachment 110673

You will probably need to call him because he doesn't list them on his site. I'd be willing to bet they are close to $600 now.

That link does not work.

:bigthink:

When I Talked to Bill I was Under The Impression He doesn't Build the Hitch for the Cubs anymore Otherwise I would Have Bought it from Him over xtreme But He did Help Me convert the Xtreme to a Limited Cat 1

IDK Roland, it does on my end. Try this one.

Sergeant, I did hear a few years ago that he was going to stop making them but I hope he has not. I like his because you can use a standard Cat 0 top link and not the the cheap thin ones used on the OEM.

Will the one from extreme motor works fit?
 

Here is the deal i’m 15 and this is my first big garden tractor, Ii picked this 1872 up a few days ago for $300 and it runs and drives great and fires right up. so my question is would the kit from extreme motor works fit with some minor modifications? I have a small welder and some basic metal working experience.

No need to Modify it! They Bolt right On to the Tractor
Just Invest In this https://www.permatex.com/products/ga...sealant-11-oz/ for the Two Bolt That bolt Into the axle Carrier

I was Just suggesting to Buy CC-03-101M which is 82 Series Cub Cadet - Modified Kit for You Tractor as it Can actually Lift More weight Than a OEM 3 point for You Tractor . The Only thing you give Up is You Can't Put a OEM 2000RPM PTO on it But Most PTO attachments that would fit it Can be Hard to find anyways today except for One Manufacturer Befco the 2000RPM PTO rear attachment are really a dead line anyways. I have other Tractors with the Industry standard 540RPM PTO so In My case I Just want My 2182 Super to Use the Non Power 3point attachments Like a Plow, Cultivator or Disk or a Rear Blade / Box scrape

diff in hitch kits?
 

I just got in an Xtreme kit for my 2084.
How is the Ruegg kit different? The photo looks a LOT different.

The Ruegg kit is an improved copy of the original SGT hitch.

The Xtreme is a copy of the GT hitch with a longer lift bar. Rear PTO was never an option on a GT so it doesn't have the hole & shield for the PTO.

The Ruegg setup looks a LOT different from the OE setup. I have not seen a good photo of it though.
But Ruegg no longer makes the CC kits?

I believe this is a Ruegg setup

Unless You Have a rear PTO No need to Bother with a Ruegg Kit(which My Understanding Bill No Longer Produces) and In today's day and age It Can be really hard to find 2000 RPM PTO equipment Befco does still make 2000RPM tillers The Market is so small Now for 2000RPM 3 Point equipment. I adapted The Xtreme Cat 0 he Make for the Super Garden tractors to Be a Limited Cat 1 3point thanks to some Help from Bill Ruegg. Have a Cat 1 3point Blade On it right now for winter and I can switch it right back to a Cat 0 if needed .

If You want to find a Garden tractor today for used with PTO Power equipment Look for a Used Simplicity Legacy XL or a Used Deere from the List Below

Its actually easier to Find an IH Number 2 or 2B or MTD 38inch tiller to adapt to a Standard Cub Cadet Garden tractor Than it can be to find 2000RPM 3 point Mounted equipment in Cat 0 to work On the Old Cub Cadet Supers. Oaks Been Pretty Lucky finding 2000RPM PTO equipment

Most of the time when You find a 2000RPM rear PTO for the Supers It come with a complete Cat 0 3point Hitch There In the $1,000 Plus Price Range right now. I would say go with the Xtreme Modified Cat 0 3 point for Now You Just remove 6 Bolts and 2 Pins and 1 Lift arm To change out the Xtreme for and OEM super Garden tractor 3 point Hitch when You find One. That way You Can use the Super for Non Powered PTO equipment Until You find a rear PTO :ThumbsUp:
