My quick hitch is hydraulic

[PikaPika]

WANT QUICK HITCH TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE

A ) THE TOP HOOK SHOULD BE EASILY ADJUSTABLE MANUALLY OR HYDRAULICALLY

B ) LOWER HOOK LATCHES SHOULD WORK AUTOMATICALLY

C ) LOWER HOOKS SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE MANUALLY OR HYDRAULICALLY FOR

CAT 1 AND CAT 2 IF SUCH PROPERTY IS NEEDED

D ) ALL ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE DONE EASILY FROM THE TRACTOR CABIN

ALL THIS CAN BE DONE, BUT IS IT TOO COMPLEX?

Re: My quick hitch has hydraulic top hook and it is adjustable from cab for cat 1-2

Welcome to TBN.

Very unique. I've never saw anything like that. Could be further adapted to latch/unlatch hydraulically for larger tractors where reaching the latch is not possible.

I was thinking mostly the safety of driver and his handyman.
If we can hitch from the cabin then all right.
For small tractors my manual version could be enough.
For tractors cat 2 and cat 3 the hydraulic version is best.
For biggest tractors reaching the levers of hitch is impossible.
Then this hydraulic hitch is working best.

IIRC, most quick hitches (aside from the Pats and their clones) latch without needing to be touched, if you have top and tilt, you should be able to hook up from the seat.
Unhooking, you need to flip up a latch on each side to let it unhook.
As for the rest, I am in favor of adapting your equipment to match the quick hitch...

I tried to make all working automatic or from cabin.
I have hand latch in upper hook only for safety. Hydraulic upper hook itself keeps implement tight.
Lower latches open automatic when hydraulic upper hook goes to its uppers position.
They close by spring force.

It one has all his implements set up properly and QH adjusted proper only time operator should have to leave seat is to release the implement when disconnection ( PTO on included) ... I think you have made a simple task unduly complicated...

Hello Dale and everybody QH interested
I understand when you have all your implements made QH-ready.
I have 10 old implements width 26-28 inches and height 22-27,5 inches, non standard
If all implements had same width then it was much easier to make the hitch. No width linkage needed.
Anyway I like my hydraulic upper hook and hydraulic top link. Lower latches works automatically under mud and ice 2 feet snow on my implement in winter.

In Europa people do't know QH. Most they have extendable 3-pt arms or lower links with quick couplings , like LH

I made many trials. Here is one like PAD's but hooking/unhooking from tractors seat.

I admire your engineer thoughts.

Yeah, and in Europe they drive on wrong side of the road....
