I thought I had the quick hitch thing puzzled out. I had planned on getting a Cat 2 Pat's easy quick change but then I stumbled on a video that cast doubt on the wisdom of using a Pat's in my application (for those who are wondering, the Pats in that video was installed correctly).
Anyway, I have a Kioti NX6010 which ballasted weighs 6100 pounds plus the weight of the loader and bucket. I will be using a Woods BB720X Brushbull that weighs 1140 pounds, and maybe a little more since I ordered it with chains. The lands I will be clearing has grade changes and I plan on going straight up and down the steeper parts to avoid tipping. In areas too steep for the tractor where I cannot use the Brushbull, then out will come the Stihl FS420 weedwhacker from the ninth circle.
That all said, there are a bewildering number of Cat 2 quick hitches. Woods, Landpride, Speedco, Nortrac, and more. Oh my. Anybody with feedback on them? Are they all made to a standard size? What is the story with pins? Should I simply buy the Woods Cat 2 Quick Hitch or is there a cost savings to be had elsewhere?
