Sleeve hitch?

[scottintn]

Hi fellas, fairly new to cubs. I have a question about sleeve hitches. Can you add/put one on any cub that doesn't have one. Is it expensive or difficult. Also, are the Brinly implements plentiful or expensive. I live in East Tennessee, if that makes any difference. I came from a small 20 acre farm in Michigan 6 years ago, just got 1 acre now so don't need a big tractor. I'm thinking a cub will fit the bill. Sorry for long post, just a little background. Thanx, Scott.

Yes, you can add them to pretty much any narrow/wide frame cub. Newer ones get tricky -- what model do you have?

I would look for something with hydro lift for heavy rear implement/usage, so oldest being 149/169 up through the Cyclops series.

A 782/1711/1811 would be a great start to look for cheaper on marketplace, preferably with the Magnum (1811/2) or KT 17 Series II line engine. Brinly is plentiful but $$$

You will need the IH three-point setup before you can utilize the sleeve hitch components.
Typical 3 point for a narrow frame,

Thanks for the replys so quickly. No cub yet. Just wanting to know so when I come across one ,I know that it doesn't need to have the sleeve hitch. But that I can add one to the tractor. Thanx again. Scott

This is simply a sleeve hitch.

A 3 point would look like this:

Well, not according to IH ?

This is simply a sleeve hitch.

A 3 point would look like this:

NOPE, that is a CAT 0 - 3 point hitch.

Narrow frame, wide frame or 82 series.
They all take a different 3 point setup
When/if you get a Cub, look for whatever setup it requires.

A Cat O would work best with Cat O implements but can be utilized with sleeve hitch implements by use of a sleeve hitch adapter.
Confused yet??

Isn't it well regarded that Cat 0 is the smallest 3 point?

Conventionally the other style has always been called a sleeve hitch outside of literature made before the 3 point system was "standardized."
