Why would anybody order a new tractor WITHOUT a 3 point hitch. It would be worthless it seems to me.

Hitchless tractors maybe chinese are explorering a niche market. To boldly go were no other tractor manufacturer would dare to go?

Although I agree it severly limits the capabilities of a tractor not having a 3 point hitch, I guess if all you plan to do is pull a wagon, or plow snow, or use the front loader mentioned, I guess you don't need a 3 point. Sure is gonna slam the resale value down the road, though.

To further what Joe said...many planters and implements are set up for a drawbar...A 3PH doesn't always paly in to the scheme of things.

Also there are those powered trail mowers up to 6' wide and 18 hp Kolers..for draw bar applications... Who knows what the needs are to the buyer...Just hope its not bought for the sake of having a tractor...

The spec states that it has a two speed non independent pto or semi indepndent????? whats that????

It is strange that the seller states that it has no 3point hitch. I am confused on that one????. Maybe, and I'm stretching it but does he mean "the arms for the 3 point are not there"? This I don't know but I would clarify this before buying. Being that it has a PTO that should indicate that it has 3Point also or I'm missing something. Is a 3 point mandatory? Well if it has a PTO maybe not. I've seen tractors used their whole life just pulling stuff.
The Japanese, chinese, etc duplicate everything the USA makes. Maybe thats why we don't make anything anymore, we just create ideas and make them work. Who knows? certainly not me.

A 3PH is not required to pull a baler, etc...Whereas you may use the PTO to run the baler.

Harry,

Ya thats strange. I would bet there is some kind of a lift, but maybe no arms, or a non standerd form of one. I know some of the old gray market tractors had some strange types of lifts on them, but many modded, or built 3PL's for them.
