3-Point Hitch Harbor freight hitch

[hd5]

Have a new harbor freight near me now, they have their quick hitch for $99.00 and a 25% coupon tomorrow only and my daughter gave me a $25.00 gift card for HF.
Any thought on how that would work on my XR4046?
I have a Rhino SE60 cutter and a box blade that give me the most pain trying to hook them up by myself. My back is getting old.

I use the HF quick hitch on my XR3037HC. Can't use it with the post hole digger but I do use it with the box blade, rake, rear ballast weights, trailer mover, and snow blower. Had to make a few minor changes to some equipment so it fit the hitch (mainly on top link) but it works fine.

Thanks George, had read reviews that mentioned modifications. But glad to know if works on LS. My tractor is 1 hp over rating . Think I will call it close enough. Forgot about postdigger. That thing is the most painful implement in the world for me to hook up. Have inflicted myself with a lot of injuries over the years. If I chain it to a post upright i can usually get it on ok.

My home made ballast is hard also.

With the QH I just back up to them (3 pt ballasts) and lift then get off and latch the QH handles down. Very easy to do. The PHD is really a 2 man job to hook up but I found it easier and can hook up myself if I hang it from a tree branch when not in use. Much easier to maneuver onto the 3 pt. when all the weight is supported by the tree. I welded a lifting point on my PHD to support it with a chain. (see pic)

I also use the HF QH on my XG3037. I went ahead and put an extender adapter on the top link of the QH and it works great. Adapter is available from Agri Supply. A QH is one of the best decisions you can make....no more killing my back or needing a second person.

Just went out a bought the HF QH. Any video's on the adaptor hitch? Thanks.

Just do a search on You Tube for HF Quick Hitch. The adapter is #61369 on Agri Supply has farm supplies, tractor implements & mower parts.. You attach the adapter to the top link connector of the implement. I only needed it on my box blade. All other equipment hooked up perfectly without it. Will post a picture as soon as it stops raining.

Clarification....in my first response I indicated that the adapter attached to the QH which is not correct. It attaches to the top link connector of the implement. Here is a picture of the adapter on my box blade. Basically the adapter extends outward the top link connection so that the QH can grab it. Not necessary with all implements....in my case, just needed it on my box blade.

Also check out #80717 at Agri Supply has farm supplies, tractor implements & mower parts.. Same as #61369 but without pin.
