3-point implement on a digger arm?

rionzion

Hi all, i have a subsoiler attachment on a 3-point linkage and i'm wondering if it is possible to somehow attach it to a digger arm? i suppose i would need some kind of rig making up. I'll be talking to my local tractor place to see what they can do but i thought i'd ask around to see if anyone has tried something like this before and might have some tips for the cheapest easiest way to do it?

Reason why is that i know from experience that my tractor wont pull it. I've considered hiring a big tractor to do the job but i have very wet land and i really dont want to make a mess of the place creating deep ruts. I figure a few days hire of a digger would make an easier job and less mess if i'm careful, plus i reckon the hydraulics would give a bit of feedback if i've hit a boulder or something rather than a tractor which could well just keep pulling and break the subsoiler while i'm none the wiser!

Cheers

Saw a video of a digger pulling one before. I'll try and find it later.

ESB use them for pulling in underground cable when they put up new poles. On a 3cx, not a track machine.
