Maysell just pick up the sleeve hitch and deck. If I’m going there. And save you the work of cutting the stuff out.
And I could just give you some money to help pay for you to put in 220 volt.

you probably didn't see the current prices of direct burial 6/3 or 8/3 wire
and i need about 75 feet it's just crazy, I've been delaying this for 2 years and now the prices are double.
I feel like I want to ramble on this but don't want to pollute your sleeve hitch thread

Go ahead and ramble Eugen. Makes no difference, ramble away.
I sure would not know any thing about the cost of that type of hook up.

I may start looking for a sleeve hitch for my Case 446. So I’m wondering is there a model number for the right sleeve hitch or does it matter. So will any sleeve hitch off a 444, 446, 448 fit ? My tractor is a 1982. As far as I know. I doubt I’ll find one here in PEI. But I’ll put and ad on somewhere and see what happens. I have 4 or 5 sleeve hitch attachments that I could be using. To do work, not have fun.!

A k24 is the model you are looking for. A j24 would work but the lift arm would need to be lengthened.
The going rate for used ones from private sellers here seems to be around $200.00US. I don't know what shipping and other charges would tac on from a US dealer for a good used one.
So what would happen if someone from the States would just package something like this up and mail it to someone north of the border?

Thanks for the number Tim. I knew there was a certain number, but I didn’t know when to find it.
I would say it would be expensive to ship some thing like that. I have no idea on the mail route for expense. But I think its the easiest way. Just take longer.

My main question is if they find a way to fleece you on something sent from person to person.
I don't have one to send you, don't mean to get your hopes up. Was just thinking, they come up here fairly often, there is also a few guys around with tons of stuff, plus Bill at Barneveld Implement.

It’s all about the almighty dollar, as my uncle use to say. The one I saw for sale in States somewhere was about $550.00 US. So add exchange, shipping, plus plus, it could be $1200.00 CA. A lot to much for me.

Holy moly, I know that is a new one, but wow.
I was just doing some shipping estimates. From me to PEI 50lbs would be about $200us USPS. To Bangor, Maine it would be $85.
I think I would see if you can turn one up. Other wise I would start finding steel to build one, even if you're lazy (
somehow I don't believe that
) you have all winter to play with it.

Noel, which attachments would you use with that beautiful 446 if you had a sleeve hitch?

One sod plow, tandem disks, cultivator, potatoe hiller, and there maybe one or two more. Nice to wrap a chain around a post or log and use the sleeve hitch to lift it. A little easier to drag that way.

Jumpins, that’s quite a price difference Tim.
