Home Forums Gear Horses and ATV's Kolpin dirt works implements

I bought this three point hitch for my rhino. It's a very substantial piece if kit. It will easily outlast any ATV or side by side made. It's massive heavy tractor style farm equipment.

The lift and lower is slower then I would like, but it is very precise so maybe that's better. This equipment really turns the utv into a tractor. Gonna have amazing food plots now!!

The down force is so strong it will lift the back of the rhino completely off the ground tires and all.

The down pressure is all important and is the biggest cause of failure of most ATV implements without it. Many small farm tractors these days don't have it either.

My drive way with this Box scraper looks like it's paved now.

This thing is so wonderfully adjustable and solid that it's like a zamboni for gravel.

Now they need to come up with a front loader.

An update on this after a few weeks of use.

The rear axle needs as much stiffness as possible to get the best precision and down pressure. I added air to the rear tires going from 8psi to 15psi. Amazing improvement. Then I turned up the shocks to maximum. This is not so good off road, but critical for the Kolpin system. My bed sinks down only 1.5 inches when I sit on the tail gate now ( 175 lbs) I did not measure this before but it's a huge difference.

So now with the stiffer suspension this dirt works system is very much like a tractor. It will plow up dirt, grade, and move dirt, rake and cultivate. It created some great food plot preparation all I need to do now is seed them.

I don't have the disk implement. Not sure it would be an improvement to what I can do now. I may look for a used one to try out.

I'm not familiar with the Rhino. Is there a way to temporarily block the rear axle to eliminate the spring action? That would give you a solid rear end like a tractor.

Kolpin makes a suspension lockout. I don't have this part, I would have bought it if the suspension changes and tire pressure did not help.

There is an aftermarket set of rear shocks that are knob adjustable which might be in my future. The stock shocks would be perfect if I could select between off road use and farm use with a knob or switch.

To adjust them now you have to remove the tires and use a spanner. It will be a seasonal adjustment, or maybe the aftermarket shocks?

Ya know, if you were really serious about getting the most from this and really doing some work for say a few weeks or a month.

I think replacing your shocks with a properly sized square steel tube that fit in place of your shocks would be perfect.

Or with a spring compressor fitting a 1" spacer above the spring while plowing

For another implement Tractor Supply sells a small disc tool that works great. They don't stock many and they sell out fast. A 300cc Honda pulled it easily but don't expect a tight turning radius with full time 4wd.
