I've been keeping my eye out for an International 184 with 3 point hitch. For those unfamiliar it's the final version of the Cub Lo-Boy, from which they dropped the Cub name. They're somewhat rare.
One has hit the market near me at what appears to be a reasonable price. Here's the issue:
The lifting links on the hitch had removable pins that would allow the left and right lifting arms to float separately. The manual says the purpose of pulling the pins is for implements that need to follow the contour of the ground, like a disc, and to see implement manuals for whether to pull the pin.
The 184 I'm considering apparently has had the lift links replaced and the replacements don't appear to allow independent float. I'm wondering if that could be an issue. I'm not aware of other 3 point hitches that allow that independent float.
Any thoughts?
