Does anybody know where I could get a 3 point hitch adapter for my D12?
I just want to put a blade on it so I can push snow this winter. Darn snap couplers.
My D17 died (which does have a 3 point adapter) so I need an alternative in a hurry!
Thanks,
Keith

Why not get a snap coupler blade. Easier and cheaper. Just a thought. Tracy Martin

I surely wouldn't mind a snap coupler blade, but where would I find one in NY?

Try harbor freight or northern tools

Just searched both those places and neither has snap couplers for a D12 let alone the whole plow setup...
Thanks for trying though.

Try Tony Carbough or Jim Danforth (both advertise on this forum and are great to deal with) for a 3pt hitch. Both are real quick to get the hitch shipped to you. I like their "wishbone" style 3PTH for pulling type implements. I prefedr welding "ears" to the rock shaft for the top limk over the loose type top link offered for the hitch.

I bought a snap couple planter years ago that was junk($5). I took the hitch off and mounted it to a 3 pt blade and used that set up for more than 25 years for snow removal. The real SC blade is much better for grading the driveway though.

Finding a snap coupler blade would be best, but not if you're in a hurry. I thought for years that I'd never find one, then presto, one showed up on an auction 20 miles away from me. I got it for $225. I knew the guy, but didn't have a clue that he had any AC stuff sitting around. Darrel
