Three-point hitch

Okay kiddo, do you remember when we were gardening and had to attach the tilling machine to the back of the tractor? That's where the three-point hitch comes in handy.

It's a special way for the tractor to connect with different kinds of tools and equipment that need to be towed or moved around. There are metal bars on the back of the tractor that stick out and can move up, down, left and right.

The three-point hitch has three arms or hooks that attach to these metal bars, and they help to keep the tools or equipment balanced and level while moving. Think of it like a really strong grabber that can hold on to different things.

This setup is really important when it comes to farming or gardening, because we need to be able to move heavy equipment around easily and safely. And with the three-point hitch, we can do it without any trouble at all!
