I have always liked the idea of quick hitches, but given that my rake and box blade are King Kutter XB attachments with Category 0 spacing, using a quick hitch was not an option until now.

1 quick hitch from Harbor Freight - $69 on sale
3 hours of cutting, measuring wrong, re-cutting and welding things together - free

Having the right width now to quick grab XB attachments .... Priceless

The attachments will need some slight mods to the upper link connection to work, but otherwise the setup looks like it should work out well.

Good job!! If I lived in the States that is what I would have done--modified an HF QH to fit the implements that I have. But, since I do not live there at the moment, I made my own and I am so thankful that I did too. It is a real joy to be able to back in lift and go. You will be very thankful that you did the work.

Show it on your tractor with the various implements. I like being able to look on one side as I back up and when the one hook is in line with the pin I know the other is too.

Great job, That was part of the reason I went with Cat 1 implements for my BX. I figured that I would end up keeping the implements if I ever upgraded to a bigger tractor.

I have followed the things that you have built. Between the torch, bandsaw and mig welder this was a quick job. And compared to your projects .... a walk in the park.

As always, the list of projects is growing much faster than the hours to do them in .....

Thanks for your kind words and keep spreading the word!

Make the adapter and you may not have to modify any of the equipment. Some of my stuff I can hook, some I use the adapter. BTW, nice work.
