3 point quick hitch on MF compact.

[WilliamBos]

Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone is running a 3pt quick hitch on a MF compact. Do you like it?

Hello Will,
I don't have one like that, but I do have a Pat's Easy Change. I like it so far. Just got it at Christmas so I haven't had it very long.

Hey Jerry,

Do you have a regular top bar, or a hydraulic cylinder?

Thanks,

 

[JerryG]

I have a hydraulic cylinder from Surplus Center on right now. I need to get out and get some hoses for the new top link for Mark Carter.

Do you have pics of it Jerry??

I have the cheapo Harbor Freight version on my 1531. Works reasonably well. Since it locks the lift arms, you have to make sure all your implements have simliar spacing, but that's a one-time problem.

I bought a Woods version from a guy in town. He was selling it because the top hook was too big to fit his brush hog.

I will have to reweld my (custom made) receiver hitch to match the three-point setup I have for my backblade. Both the height of the top-link as well as the spacing of the lower mounts have to fit the quick-hitch.

The quick-hitch also has to come off for a post-hole digger, as these do not use a top link. If I hadn't gotten a good deal on this one, I would have gone with ones that mount on each of the lower arms, as they are more versatile.

After seeing Pat's Easy Change, I think that is the way I will go, with stabilizer bar.

Thanks.

Update on the one I just purchased used:

It won't fit my 6' back blade either. The top hook is too big to clear the pin and the structure of the back blade. So far 0 for 3 without modification of the implement.

I use a Pat's system. not a perfect solution but other than having someone else change implements for you, I don't think there is a perfect solution. I like the Pats system. You will need to go to a longer top link for most implements. Mine works well on my lifter(see pic) and on my woods RD7200 finish mower, box blade, bush hog, disk, and 2 bottom plow.

Do you have pics of it Jerry??

Sorry. I didn't see this post. Which cylinder did you want a picture of?

On the quick hitch it come with the top clevis, you may have to install a pin in the top arm when changes equipment. I still like it. its a 50-50 shot if it will work w/o installing the top pin

I just bought one, and yet to try it on any implements, I'm still waiting for my York rake, but I did hook it up the tractor, and it seems like it will work pretty well, I got the cheap one at Harbor Freight too, it is a Haulmaster, and it is probably made by the same people who make most of them you'll see out there, but it was only $59 !!! The best 'looking' one I've seen is LandPride, but it looks expensive.

ae ted,
nice looking carry all. Do you use that for firewood? Any more pics and info of your carry all, thinking of making one myself.
Thanks

We have a Delta Hook system and it works great! We put the system on and then it takes just minutes to hook up to our implements. The only time we have to get off is to hook up a PTO. You should check them out at deltahook.com

I have the cheap Harbor Freight model and it works well with everything I have with the exception of the moldboard plow.

Will,
I'm sorry that it took so long to get you some pictures. Here are two pictures of the CCM toplink. I hope they help. I don't have the tilt part yet.
