farm fabrication

Problem addressed/functional need

Universal quick attach plates are available commercially, however, there are some instances where custom fabrication of tractorside or implemet side adapters may make sense. This tool provides dimensions and some examples. Standard can be found here http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:Universal-attachment-mount-specification-.pdf

Problem addressed/functional need Changing three point implements can be difficult and time consuming and create dangerous situations when a second person assists hitching up between the tractor and implement. This is especially true when multiple implements changes are made in a single day... Functional Description/approach This implement self aligns and securely locks the tractor and implement together to enable the tractor operator to back in and connect to a new implement without leaving the tractor.
