Recently there has been a 3-point factory hitch on eBay for the OC3 that is a rare find. The price tag for me is too high .... but, realize that it may be worth the price if it is a real need for daily use. If I were to get such a setup, I would use it for a rear mounted, PTO driven tiller (like the new style you can get at Tractor Supply for around $1600, I believe. But, after giving this some thought, I was wondering if the HP on the OC3 would be enough to really handle this type of implement? If not, it would be allot of money and wasted effort to use this setup for just a rake or sickle mower on the rear of the crawler.
Obviously, there are a ton more of implements that could be utilized with a 3-point setup, for me, not having a rear lift has posed its challenges through the years. After careful consideration and looking at this auction item in detail, I realized that the one OC3 I would want to put this on would also need a hydraulic setup (pump, controls, reservoir, and hoses) to even make this all work. NONE of that is included in the auction with the $1800 price tag! The reason for my post is about the HP of the OC3 and whether it would be able to handle a tiller type implement in the first place. Any thoughts?
