I am considering purchasing a quick hitch for my tractor. What are the cons. Currently I am using a box blade, finish mower, and middle buster on a regular basis. Of course, there are a few other implements on my wish list. Never having used one before, I can easily see the benefits, what are the draw backs? I am wondering if there may be some implements that it doesn't "easily" hook up.

Plus, if there are any suggestions on which cat 1 hitch to get, please let me know. I have seen some price differences.

IMO the biggest/only disadvantage I've seen is the increased difficulty of connecting the PTO shaft at the tractor. I can barely reach the PTO shaft on the tractor and the shafts with the twist or push/pull quick connects add to the dificulty.

How does pats hitch get in way of hooking up pto shaft? I don't have a problem on my ym2210.
