Hi Everyone,
My name is Greg with Heavy Hitch. We manufacture the first and only true combination receiver hitch and suitcase weight bracket hitch. Heavy Hitch is one of the most versatile tools to have in your tractor's three-point accessories arsenal! Designed to provide ballast when using front-end equipment and allow towing capability with increased stability and traction, the Heavy Hitch does it all. Use in place of or in conjunction with wheel weights to really maximize loader capability. Load a trailer and pull it away without having to change your three point implements! Models to fit virtually any sub-compact, compact and standard tractor using a category 0 or category 1, 3 point hitch system!

Interesting. I need something bigger, CAT II and for 100lb weights. Been thinking of building something that mounts the front 110kg starter weight then hang the 100lb suitcase weights from it.

We're working on a cat. 2 right now for someone using JD R58823 weights and iMatch TY16042. Wants to hold 12 weights.

Re: Heavy Hitch-Combination Receiver Hitch & Weight Bracket

Now if there was a tool/chain box built in there somewhere.........maybe the right size for a battery to power the winch that plugs into the receiver...

Yours is prettier, heavier and saleable. I doubt anyone would give me much more than scrap price for mine. :thumbsup:

Re: Heavy Hitch-Combination Receiver Hitch & Weight Bracket

We're working on a cat. 2 right now for someone using JD R58823 weights and iMatch TY16042. Wants to hold 12 weights.

In my plan the frame would look like an A, the top of the A is where the top link hooks up. The bottom of the A would be legs to hit the ground when off. There would be a horizonal piece to bolt the JD 110KG front starter weight to (it normally bolts to front of tractor). Height would be set so with JD R127764 48KG suitcase weights on the starter weight you could set it on the ground and bottom of A would keep it standing. (you would have to keep at least two suitcase weights on at all times). Cross bar for lower 3pt arms would be set a little higher than as low as they (3pt arms) would go. Top link point would be set in relation to lower 3pt arm height. STD CAT 2 spacing. An open box with expanded metal floor above the weights would be nice for carring chains, etc. It would not over hang the weights in front to back depth. I'd want it to hold at least 16 weights. I think a 110KG front weight will hold 20 weights. No need for a reciever hitch or iMatch. And it MUST be painted John Deere Green :D

What the heck is a "super hitch" ? Can't find a description anywhere on your site.

For someone who doesn't already own any suitcase weights.... what is the cheapest way to go? I like the idea of a convienient 3-pt mounted tow hook but of course one needs some solid rear ballast for loader safety, etc. Owning somewhat of a "mutt" tractor, with no local dealers, I'm not sure the best way to go about obtaining some weights that would be compatible with your hitch.

Does anyone ever succesfully skid logs using your heavy-hitch as a lifting point?

deezler, if you go to our blog, you'll find a post outlining the difference between the "standard" and the "super" Heavy Hitches. I'd recommend the Super Heavy Hitch for your application because it has a greater wall thickness on the lower 3" X 3" tube. I've had people mount winches to the receiver and use them for skidding trees so you should have no problem at all!

As for the weights, Home Depot and Lowe's carry weights that will work and also JD dealers. Any 42-45# MTD, Arnold, Cub Cadet, John Deere suitcase weight should work.

Orange Toys, is that sign in your avatar something you made, or can it be bought on-line somewhere?
