Quick Hitches Quick Hitch?

[3RRL]

I went with Pat's EZ hitch which requires attaching the top link, but their is an advantage too. Especially if you have varying implement lift pin widths like I do. Some are CAT I and others are CAT II. Pat's spreads out or in like your drag links do....just an alternative to think about.
If your implements are all the same width, and I-match or HF unit will be great.

I have the JD Imatch on my 3320 and only two implements so far,the MX5 brush cutter and a Frontier box blade, but it is sure nice and makes life a lot easier. MH

I just purchased the quicj hitch from HF for $69 at a local store. Looks well built for the money looks like a great purchase. Now to get out and use it.

Thanks

I use the Speeco from TSC, about $200. I had to modify all my attachments to work with it, but some were very easy to add a hole, etc. One of the best things about the QH, whichever brand you use, is that you can tighten up your side-sway chains or turnbuckles on your 3-pt, and they can stay tight, you no longer have to mess with them each time you unhook/rehook. This alone save a lot of messing around, even if you have to get off the tractor to hook up with the QH (and often you can stay on the tractor).

I just picked up one from Harbor Freight. They are on sale at $69.95. Haven't tried it yet, but it appears to have been built in the same place as the TSC for $201.00.

I just tried my HF Hitch and am very disappointed, overall finish and workmanship I was pleased with for a 69 dollar unit but it does not work with my GB72 Woods box blade. The lower hooks arnt wide enough to even fit into the slots where my pins are on the blade like 1/2" atleast The top bracket where the hook is doesnt work either but in the directions it does say you may have to use a "Adapter Bracket" which of course is not provided,lol. So maybe the old saying is true you get what you pay for,lol. So overall my quick hitch experience isnt all that good.

It did hook up to my tractor rather easily its just it wont hook up to my blades or rake??? So im not sure what im gonna do return it or "modify" it, haha.

I got the Harbor Freight one, it was $99, I told the guy it had been on sale for $79, he gave it to me for $79; went back today to check on top mount, it was on sale for $69, told the guy they owed me $10 - he refunded me my $10!!

Now, see my post about how to hook up the dang thang!! I cain't get the top hook to work..

Well I ended up spending 2 hours or so beating grinding torching my quick hitch to get it to work fairly decent, im still not 100% happy with it but I figure I can adjust some more.
