Another good use for the 3pt

A spin off from the idea I got from a fellow member that attached his leafblower to the front of his Cub...

3pt allows me to lift and keep the wheels for easy moving to its resting place in the shed.

Made the 3pt hook up out of 5/8 rod I had left over from the Johnny Bucket install. Only snafu I really had is that I cut the upper link connection nan bit shorter than I would have liked but it still works.. I used an eye bolt for that.

175 for the blower and maybe 10 bucks in parts...Not bad for a Friday night project...

Im gonna use it mostly for the driveway and grass clippings....Takes me about 30 minutes with a normal gas hand blower...Hoping this speed things up plus a bit more seat time!
Wife just shakes her head at me... : - )

Looks like a 3 cigar project. :biggrin2:

Nice job, I've seen 3 point PTO run blowers, if the blower engine takes a dump. :bigthink:
