My quick hitch is hydraulic

[PikaPika]

Thanks homesteader13

I have 4 spool valves for my 3-point hitch (and 3 more for all implements + 2 for the loader)
1 for the hydraulic top link
1 for the hydraulic leveling bar
and 2 for 2 hydraulic stabilizer bars

If all your implements have lower pins in the same distance and you use pin and hole stabilizer bars,
then you need only two valves, one for the hydraulic top link and another for the hydraulic leveling bar.
How to reach the levers? For small and medium tractors it is OK.
For bigger tractors we can use rope for the top link by open back window
With this blue rope we can guide the top link to top pin and both close and open its latch.
The pulling spring in the picture makes it easy to guide the top link.



I made my own lever system for opening and locking the top link latch because
the rope was hanging there and opening sometimes.
Long green lever opens both lift arm latches at the same time.
For biggest tractors it is possible to guide the top link as you write
with electric or hydraulic actuators and use solenoid for the latch of top link.

Very nice problem solving and fabrication work.
I believe you can find a very lucrative market for this!
Definatley better than the JD hitch assist.
How many double acting spool valves does this setup use?
It would be awesome to see this setup be viable for a cab tractor and not just an open station platform. Any thoughts on that? Maybe using electric solenoids to control the hydraulics?
Keep up the good work, you just might be the one to revolutionalize the next big thing with quick hitches.

We can adjust the top link for BIG and LARGEST tractors from the CABIN by this mechanics too.
I have only this patent picture.



I only want to save lives of users of tractors.
In Sweden 1000 accidents only in one year recently.

Euro hooks are flexible and can be used from the cabin.
In Europa they use these by ropes .
Ropes are often broken at lower links. So driver has to go down to operate them.
Therefore I tried to to make more safe-
We need to go out of tractor only for PTO-shaft and hydraulic hoses

My next trial is to make Euro hooks for big tractors. And I use them from the cabin.
Not difficult but much to measure. Tractor was working hole time at field.
I drive 3 km to my outdoor smithy for welding and back about 10 times.



And my new video: Big tractor and Euro hooks.

John Deere is ready now to be operated from its cabin for hitching/unhitching.

Before I made a linkage to open both hook latches together from the cabin for unhitching.

Now I have a new linkage to move the right lower link sideways from the cabin.
It makes possible to use two category equipment with the same tractor.
And non standard equipment too.


Parts are quit simply


And now it has a new hydraulic top link too.

I think that this is the most cheep way to operate from the cabin.
If you like then hydraulic stabilizer bars are good too but expensive.
I have made what I can. Now you must go on!
Good luck to you

New pictures of moving the stabilizer bar from the cabin when hitching the implement.



There is a new lever and linkage for the right spring loaded stabilizer bar and the lower link.

This is my last video I have. Winter game to us. Hope getting better soon.

Makes me wonder if TBN could be the catalyst for developing a world wide standard for 3PH quick hitches.

Makes me wonder if TBN could be the catalyst for developing a world wide standard for 3PH quick hitches.

Hope it's not like that. There must be over $2k in hydraulics for the hitch alone. My $90 HF QH is looking better all the time.

What could be added to a QH to make it easily and quickly adaptable/adjustable to any 3PH implement?
