Quick Hitch Suitcase Weights

[Wineguy]

I have a Woods Quick Hitch, and would like to purchase a suitcase weight attachment for it. I have come to realize after researching these forums in the past, that all quick hitches aren’t created equal in terms of specs, compatibility etc… That said, does anyone know of a compatible suitcase weight attachment that you would recommend for the Woods TQH1 Quick Hitch? I just use the weights (6 total weights 90 lbs ea for 540 lbs total) during the snow season.

Thanks,

Wineguy

Following; I have a similar question.

Not quite, but just as effective, unless you need an implement, too.

That’s clever. I already own the suitcase weights, and thought about rigging up directly to the Quick Hitch similar to what you’ve done. That’s exactly what I did on my previous tractor. However, as I get older, I have made a number of dolly’s to enable me to remove & store all my implements w/o breaking my back lifting anything every time I need to remove.

You just need to build a frame that will hold your weights and hitch up.
A piece of channel with wings for the upright. (Wings needed for pin in top) Come down and attach to a frame that is high enough to catch side pins when unhitching. Then you can put in heavy angle to hold the suit case weights.
Did something similar with an i-beam. I'll get a picture when it warms a bit today.

I made my own "suitcase" weights out of concrete, but this is the kind of bracket you need. Mine is also a trailer receiver. Mine is made of a drawbar, receiver tube and flat bar.

Here's how mine mounts to the quick hitch I have. (Harbor Freight) You should be able to fab something up that works for you. This was all scrap I had laying around.

Be apprised that suitcase weights come in many configurations for attachment to various tractors as well. Certainly not 'one size fits all'.
