Quick-Tach Mounting Plate Makes Mower Service Easy FARM HOME Lawn Mowers 31h 38 “I bought a skid loader quick-tach universal mounting plate and bolted it onto the deck of my 3-pt mounted 6-ft finishing mower It lets me disconnect the mower from the 3-pt hitch and raise the deck up off the ground so I can service the blades safely while standing up ” says Darry Markle Claresholm Alberta Markle paid $160 Canadian for the quick-tach mounting plate and bolted it to the back side of the mower deck “I had to drill a couple of holes in the plate and bolt on metal brackets to make it work ” he says “The mounting plate can be left on the mower without interfering with its normal operation And it can be quickly detached if I ever want to sell the mower “It’s a lot safer than laying on the ground under the mower while it’s connected to the tractor’s 3-pt hitch And there’s no need to block the mower to make sure it doesn’t fall on me I think the same idea would work with a loader tractor equipped with a skid loader-style quick-tach mounting plate ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Darry Markle P O Box 2199 Claresholm Alberta Canada T0L 0T0 ph 403 489-1956; darrymarkle@gmail com
