Depends on what's wrong w/ it, and what the specs on it are... Don't know the model, so can't say, but...
What drives it - does it have a hydraulic pump that goes on the PTO, or does it run off the tractor hydraulics?
Does it have a control valve, or does it use the tractor's?
What size is the cylinder?
Is all the hitch hook up stuff there?
Figure $1-200 for a replacement cylinder if that's bad (if you can see rust or pitting on the rod it is...) $80-120 for the valve, $50 each for the hoses... I believe new three-point splitters are between $500 and a grand, so you can figure it out...
