ABSTRACT:
An offset adapter dimensioned to connect different farm implements in offset relation to a tractor with a three point lift. The adapter is reversible to offset the implement to the right or to the left, and it is constructed to facilitate vertical adjustments of the implement with respect to the terrain. The adapter has a bar depending from which are brackets connectable to first and second hitching points on the implement. The first bracket is rigidly mounted to the bar and is designed to be connected to one of the implement hitching points; and the second bracket may be slidably disposed along the bar, but is capable of rigid attachment at a position on the bar corresponding to the position of a second implement hitching point. Two mountings are also provided for attachment of the bar to a conventional three point lift. The unique positioning of brackets over mountings permits accommodation of implements having different width hitch points, yet also is capable of being reversed so an implement can be offset in a different direction.
