Back on topic... I purchased a quick hitch from TSC. Have not tried it yet, but will be testing it out next time I go out to my property. TSC Tool Tuff Cat 1 Quick Hitch Reviews are mostly positive, but I did read a few that said they had to modify the top attachment hook to make a wider...

Tractor Supply Tool Tuff Quick Hitch

Just ordered mine. Can't beat the price for a Cat I. I hope it's as good as the Speeco E-Hitch (per its reputation). Reviews were strong, though more than a few said some or all of the connections were too thick or off by 1/4". Crossing my fingers.

I do not but that's a great idea for when I finally get one.

I'm looking to be able to leave my tractor at my property. I want to do some basic theft prevention stuff including replacing the key ignition to a non-common key and installing a kill switch. Anyone have any specific ignition switch or kill switch recommendations? CX2510HST. Not sure what will...

Can they really bite thru a good leather athletic shoe?

I heard Mike mention once on Outdoors with the Morgans Youtube channel that he has often been asked why he wears light colored, khaki style pants to work in (I'm thinking like Dickies brand) - he mentioned that with blue denim you can't see the ticks as readily as on khaki colored pants. Seems...

Thanks. Based on the new one, it appears that it hasn't inflated as much as I might have thought.

If it matters, Speeco makes a QH that is for Cat 1 implements, no bushings required. Since a set of bushings is around $40 per implement, could potentially save you a bunch of dollars if you have a lot of implements.

Thanks for the link on the tail wheel assemblies. I notice they have a lot of different varieties in terms of bushings, bearings, axle sizes, hub material. Any recommendations? With a difference in price from cheapest to most expensive only being about $30, I'm willing to get whatever the best...

My insurance needs are changing on my tractor and I'm looking to get a quote from my insurer that includes actual replacement cost of my tractor (currently I only have actual cash value coverage). I purchased mine in 2021 and it currently only has 58 hours on it. With all the economic changes in...

As I read it you make your top link chain long enough that it holds the mower level when cutting. You only want it to go slack if the mower when you are entering and exiting a valley.

You're probably right. I was anxious to get out on the property for the first time after 8 weeks of wet weekends and sitting at home.

It would be great if some of you that are using chains or flexible top links could post up close and clear pictures of your connections next time you're out. Learning here...

So if I'm understanding correctly, you use a solid or hydraulic link to attach the quick hitch to the tractor, and then you connect the brush hog with the two lower arms to the QH and you use a short length of chain between the QH top link area and the brush hog? The only time the chain is...
