I found it on the Ruegg site. I sent him a email, but haven't heard back yet. They look like a nice hitch and like the pic of the oem in my book. What's the difference in the Extreme?..Materials, looks, price?

Ruegg does not make the GT hitch only the SGT with the area cut out for the optional pto. They are completely different.

The price on Extreme was around $495 last time I looked. Aaron at Extreme does awesome work, don't get me wrong. Ruegg hitches have the OEM look. The lower three point arms look like the brochure you posted and the pic Todd (Oak) posted. They are Z shaped so to speak. The Extreme lower arms look like a regular garden tractor three point. Rear plate is different like Todd said as well. Either will work fine. All depends on the look you want.

Here's a link to Aaron's page at Xtreme. Price $480.........
On the left side, you'll have to click on the three point stuff.

Angry
I just realized all of my ground engaging attachments are for a sleeve hitch used with manual lift handle. Is there an adapter to use them on a 3 pt hitch.

Yep,
Hop on the above website I listed and Aaron sells the three point adapter to use with brinly sleeve hitch equipment. Listed in the same three point area.

Question
Ok, next question.. If all of my attachments are for sleeve hitch.. Would I be better off to try and make my hitch work, or get new sleeve hitch and a lift bar for either? I can't think of any other cat "0" equipment I'd be needing.
I would still like to get a 54" blade with power tilt to hook into front hydraulics, but may just be a big wish finding one & can afford

You can install a sleeve hitch on a super but there are 3 things to think about:

The upper rear frame is notched for the cat 0 so you would need plates for the frame and remove the rear hitch plate

You would need a long actuator link to the rock shaft

All your implements would be higher off the ground because of the larger tires unless you dropped your lower mounting plate and lengthen your lift links.

A little time investment but you can save some $$$$

While all this is mostly true, the distance between the upper and lower links is the same on the super. Just taller tires. And why would he have to remove the lower hitch (drawbar)? It can stay on with the sleeve hitch.

If you have no use for a 3pt, then don't buy. If a sleeve hitch fits your needs, go that route. My is a cat 0 is about 150X better than a sleeve hitch.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
