@LouNY I wouldn't mind those at all, particularly if I actually had some PTO implements.

My Branson 8050 had them on it from new as factory, I had actually put a conventional quick hitch on the tractor for awhile and just got so tired of fighting with older implements and smacking my head while trying hookup pto's that I decided to try using the claw and ball style.

I also have the claw and ball for my hydraulic top link, I can get the lowers and my toplink while still in the tractor.

How do you get your top link on from the cab?

 

[LouNY]

The rope you can see in the pictures fastens to the 3 pt toplink claw, the weight of the toplink keeps the claw open, I can adjust the toplink while dropping the claw on to the top link implement ball once the claw drops onto the ball it should latch. Some times it may not completely latch if so I'll give it a tap while hooking up hydraulics or pto.

It unlatches the same way a good jerk on the rope and its unlatched and I can lift it with the rope, I have a loop in the rope that I drop around the window post to hold it when not in use.
