Quick Hitches Quick Hitch in Europe

[Jake99]

Hi Guys,

I recently joined this forum, i have a sub compact on order.
To me it looks like the well know "quick hitch" that we see on many youtube movies, is not "popular" in the EU.
I guess it is due there are other systems availlable in the EU, which has some advantages and disadvantages

I cannot find find any dealers in Belgium that carries them.
I do find them on a few Chinese "webshops".
Anyone that knows who sells them in the EU?


thx

Hello,

For the most part, we use the Euro hooks in Europe. It just works well, reliable, easy to use, lasts a life time pretty much. No frame in the way like those quick hitch frames and doesn't extend the arms any further.

About the only system worth getting if it doesn't come standard with it, but that's just my opinion.

There is also the A frame style quick hitch. This one is more popular in Europe compared to the big bulky one in the US, but you would need the "female triangle" for each implement, while the "male triangle" stays in the tractor. But it's also easy to use and doesn't really extend the implement out the back all that much.

I bought the EU ball mount kit to weld on my tractor arms.
I use a PAT on both but the bigger tractor needs a better system like the ball mounts
