FAQ about Towing Devices
A towing device for 3-point parts is a coupling mechanism that allows various implements and attachments to be mounted and towed behind a tractor. It typically consists of three arms (two lower and one upper) that connect to the implement, enabling the operator to lift, lower, and adjust the angle of the implement for efficient use in the field.
There are different types of towing devices for 3-point linkages, categorized by standard size classifications (Category 1, 2, 3), which vary in size and strength depending on the tractor and implement requirements. Some towing devices also feature quick-attach mechanisms, allowing for faster and easier implement changes without manual adjustments to the arms.
Signs that a towing device may need maintenance include excessive play, difficulty attaching implements, rust, or worn or damaged components. If the towing device does not keep the implement stable or shows signs of bending or deformation, it should be inspected and possibly repaired or replaced.
