THANKS BRENT. BEING NEW AT THIS I TRY TO READ ALL POSTS (OLD AND NEW) TO LEARN ALL I CAN ABOUT MY MACHINE. STILL HAVE A ZILLION QUESTIONS TO ASK. LITTLE STUFF LIKE WHAT'S A THREE POINT HITCH? WHAT'S A SLEEVE HITCH ? WHAT KIND OF HITCH IS MINE ? SEE..........I TOLD YOU I WAS NEW AT THIS AND "DONT KNOW NUTHIN" BUT I'M LEARNING. HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME ON MY HANDS NOW AND PLAN ON GETTING ALL THE USE OUT OF THIS THAT I CAN. HAVE A GARDEN/LANDSCAPING/MOWING/ SUMMER AHEAD OF ME. JOHNP

If it's like my 7116H it has a sleeve hitch. It looks like a tube and it's for implements like tillers that have a corresponding rod that slips into the sleeve. 3 point hitches have a triangular connection. I just got my 7116 but I don't think 3 point hitches are available for them.

Hmmmm, sound like a serious case of 'the fever' coming on JohnP. Only two choices I know of, sell everything and move into a condo or buy more tractors, think I'm up to 7 now if I count the two gilsons..MPH

MPH, WHEN I CAN'T MAKE IT UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS OR TAKE CARE OF MY PROPERTY, THEN I "MIGHT" GO CONDO. MY DAD DIED AT 99 YRS AND MOM AT 93 SO I FIGURE I HAVE 40 MORE YEARS TO GO. WILL MY SIMP LAST THAT LONG OR WILL I HAVE TO GET A STABLE OF THEM ? JOHNP

IF you keep them in sperate stalls you MAY not need to add onto the stable as often. Statement comes without any warrenty,inplied ir intended,MPH
