Quick Hitches DeltaHook - anyone own or use one?

[k0ua]

I run a John Deere iMatch hitch on my Kubota. Love it! And I got it for like $100 because it had been sitting in the rain at the dealer for 1 year. Didn't matter... Painted it black so that Green didn't clash with my Orange!! Lol

I would give you your money back on that one, and pay you for painting it too... That was a pretty good deal

Here's a link to my thread about it.

I used the Deltahook system for years. I had five or six female units that go on the implements. Deltahook is a very good system but I ultimately switched to Pat's easy-change system. There were several reasons. One reason is that I have more implements than I had female Deltahook units to go on them. When I wanted to use an implement that didn't have a Deltahook female unit on it, I had to transfer a Deltahook female from another implement or take the male Deltahook unit off of the tractor. I was willing to do that but the Deltahook units are heavy, and some female family members said they wanted to be able to use the tractor (they never did, so the weight factor became irrelevant--after I had gone to Pat's system). The Deltahook system doesn't work, or doesn't work well, with some implements (a sickle bar mower being an example). And I bent two of the Deltahook female units by getting one end of a box blade caught on an immovable object like a strong root. I had the bent units fixed and had some strengthening iron straps welded on them. The newer Deltahook female units I bought were a better design in that they had strengthening iron straps already on them. All things considered, I decided that Pat's system would be easier to work with for all users of the tractor. In retrospect, I think I was correct. Still, the Deltahook system works great for most implements.
