New JD Cat 1 Quick Hitch

[Victory Pete]

Hi
I have finally bought one of these https://jdparts.deere.com/partsmkt/d...ches_Quick.htm I got the PMQH100 which is black. I was a bit surprised to see how much paint was scraped off, it was shipped without any wrapping or cardboard. It took me a few hours to set up my 3 implements, Frontier box blade and york rake, Land Pride broadcast spreader. I had to do a little modifying but it seems to work well. I am surprised the 1" pins dont fit tight in the Quick Hitch, there is some slop in there. My understanding is that I dont need bushings if I am using 1" Cat 1 implements with the Cat 1 Quick Hitch. Anyone have experience with this hitch? It is now time to touch it up with the free can of paint my dealer gave me.

Pete,
Your link doesn't work. but my cat 1 I Match hitches require cat 3 bushings on the implements for a proper snug fit without alot of play.

Hi Steve,
Maybe this will work https://jdparts.deere.com/partsmkt/document/english/pmac/5998_fb_Hitches_Quick.htm
Yes I am wondering if I need bushings or not.

I just talked to my dealer and there are 7/8" to 1" bushings for this hitch. He wasnt aware they were needed. You think John Deere would mention that you need these bushings.
