R.E. & H.J. McQueen, Inc. carries front hitches and PTOs manufactured through Zuidberg North America Inc.
Why Zuidberg?
Over the last 15 years the Zuidberg front 3pt hitch and front PTO systems became very popular as tractor owners are increasingly looking at improving their return on investment when investing in a tractor. As well they are looking for efficiency by combining two passes into on one, while saving labor and diesel fuel.
Popular front mounted applications:
Tiling equipment
Mowers, either in a triple set up or a set up with a front mounted mower and a single trailed or 3pt mounted mower
Flail shredders, used for shredding prunes or brush in orchards or vineyards
Manure reels
Seed bed preparation and planting equipment, used for preparing a seed bed and plant in one pass
Front ballast weights. A proper ballasting of your tractor saves fuel and increases traction. A 3pt mounted ballast weight makes this very easy
Weeding equipment, mainly used in organic operations
Roller crimpers mounted in the front, used in combination with a rear mounted roller crimper or a planter in the rear
