I believe I bought a few made by Ashland. They make a replacement drawbar that fits right in the support.
What Case sells now is an Ashland hitch. Ashland is about half price of what the red store is. My dealer here sells Ashland hitches and scrapers.
I called a parts yard in Sikeston last summer inquiring about a scraper setup for a 500. He comes back with a price of around $8k. $2,000 for one part and $6,000 for the other. It was a factory setup like the newer style pictured in a post above. CNH has $11,000 list price for the drawbar and $4100 for the cradle. The yard in Sikeston was giving me their "half of list OEM" price... I told the guy I'd be crazy to pay $8k for a hitch off a burned up tractor. I ended up finding one another place here in Arkansas for $3500. Talked to a friend yesterday and he bought one for $1500 identical to mine at another place here in state. I'd called that place back in the summer and they didn't have anything. Wished I had waited now. Oh well. |
Scraper tractor hitch conversion to ag?
