Tedder won't hitch to my new tractor :-(

HIT 12.14 T won't hitch to T8.435 SMARTTRAX

Yeah, it's an issue with all tractors starting with the T8.320. They are not equipped to tow ring-type hitches. Only ball type. So all the smaller equipment (including the tedder) is out.

A weight similar to this will solve the problem: http://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&mod_id=10082&title=fs2015

T8 and Magnum 380 only has a 3-point and trailerLow hitch at the rear. The tedder you're using requires a trailer hitch. The T6 should work well.

You just need to attach a weight on the back and connect the tedder to it.
You can lower the weight if needed.
The ingame one's work fine for me.

Thanks for all the replies. I've give the standard weights a try.

I usually just drop back to a lighter/weaker tractor with the proper hitch. The Lambougini and the green one just above it works for all trailers and devices. Use the biggest tractors only for the stuff that can attach to it.

How will a weight allow the tractor to attack to the back of the T8-435 Smartrax?
I have a feeling your misunderstanding the issue this tractor can't attach to the trailers and other equipment because it doesn't have the proper hitch at the rear of the tractor. I just bought one to use for transporting the large trailer because I need more horsepower to get up the hills with a loaded trailer the weight allows the tractor to keep it's wheels down once equipment is attached therefore is no help what is needed is an adapter but since there are none making the only solution is buying a different tractor.

The reason behind it working with a weight is because the weight has a 3 point hitch to the tractor, but at the back, there is a trailerhigh mount, in FS 2013 this was the trailer mount of choice for building road trains, and if you look carefully, you will see the hole and pin on the front of the weight that functions as a such mount.

OK I get it know I seriously couldn't figure out what you meant but this means using a smaller weight in the read as an adapter and a larger weight at front or when full the tractors front end pops up sorry if I offended you in any way but thanks for the further explanation this is a game changer for me!
