cat 1 quick hitch bushings needed

[LittleBill21]

so I am considering a quick hitch, looking through the comments it appears I need bushings per attachment? people are saying they are cheap, but quick hitch bushing can be upwards of 40 dollars, people in the threads are mentioning 1 dollar per bushing I am not seeing, that can someone shed some light?

Amazon.com

This is the hitch I am looking at.

They are about $5 each at Tractor Supply. You don't need the fancy ones with pins.

While considering a quick hitch note that all implements you plan to use must have approximately the same attachment width. Mine are not so I went with Pat's Quick Hitch instead.

Both my quick hitches are the Land Pride QH15 Cat 1. I have 2 bushings on each implement, on the pins that slide into the quick connect hooks. I don't use them on the top hook.

I use 1 inch water pipe on my CAT 1 pins and hold it in place with a bolt and elastic lock nut....

Don't think this "kit" would be unreasonable...

Not sure how many attachments you have, but if you look up... "Lift arm bushing" on tractor supply, you'll see that you need. For my quick hitch, I needed a cat 1-2 and a cat 2-3. Made for the best fit so my attachment wasn't bouncing around. You might be able to buy in bulk of you have multiple attachments?

With Pat’s you buy either the Category 1 or 2 hitch. If you’re using a category 1 implement on the category 2 hitch, you will need the reducer bushings for the implement pins and top link.

That is a good price for all those bushings!

For most of my stuff, the "pipe" style bushings work fine and, as mentioned, they are made to be "nested" to achieve whatever category you need for your quick hitch. However, some attachments (like my overseeder and weight box) are really heavy and tend to slide around a lot and need the shoulder style bushing to keep them secure. Figuring out which attachments need which style of bushing has been a bit of trial and error for me.
