Here is a 3PT mounted hydravac. I'm not sure who made this...

That's simple enough, they just turned the mounting bracket upside down and bolted it to the drawbar and fastened the top link to the hitch.
Clean looking.
let's go, it's finally time to blow.

Re: AHVFB / AHVFC Hydra vac
Here is my grass hopper bagger I converted a few years back. I don't have to even get off the tractor to dump it. I was going to install it yesterday but it was raining off and on all day. Maybe tonight I can get it on and get some work done with it.

Re: AHVFB / AHVFC Hydra vac
I can see where the pictures that Matt sent would need weight on the front end. Setting it back that far changes the whole need for weight. But it is a simple way to go about it.
The second set of pictures from TimJ with the 3 point setup keeps the rig closer to the back-end and might not need the extra weight in front . I know with my traditional mount CASE leaf vac pulling the trailer and headed up hill, the front gets a bit light when trying to turn. Never been an issue, but it does get light! I choose where I want to fight my battles!!!!

Re: AHVFB / AHVFC Hydra vac
I also find my front sliding more, especially with the bagger on. A little weight on the front would definitely help.Seabee wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 12:51 pm I can see where the pictures that Matt sent would need weight on the front end.

The screenshots I posted are from one for sale in Michigan I found on Marketplace today.

Re: AHVFB / AHVFC Hydra vac
I think I have seen that one before! Been tempted a few times for the reason mentioned about having to change from 3 point to the leaf vac bracket.

Re: AHVFB / AHVFC Hydra vac
Bob,
I like the way you made the 3rd link a part of the mount. That totaly negates the need for using cylinder depth stops to prevent the hitch from moving while lowering the deck.
Nice work indeed.
