Quick Hitches The Best Quick Hitch???

[WM75Guy]

I have a Landpride quick hitch on each tractor. I did buy bushings for each implement so they fit snug at the bottom and I don't have to swap things around. I use a hitch pin for the hook as it does have to be moved or removed to attach to the top pin. As was said before, it is not just a back up, lift up, and drive off situation even with a quick hitch.

I have a Pat's and a hydraulic top lift and like the combincation very much. But I think a key piece of information with a quick link is the gimic that comes with the Pat's: the bent washer that accesorizes the lynch pin. I had a Harbor Freight quick hitch that is admittably cheap and weak, but would in retrospect not have bend out of shape with my bush hog if I had a big washer between it and the lynch pin. The Pat's quick hitches come with sveral large bent-over-washers-with-a-lynch-pin hole. They Keep the hitch from overriding and working the linch pin. By the way washers without the bend work fine. I now keep a pocketfull of them from Lowe's in my peanut-butter-jar of extra lynch pins.

Ps: did this message make any sense at all to anyone who never bought a Pat's?

Even better, make a special washer with "grabs" to keep it and the lynch pin out of the way of the Pat's. The original Pat's washer can be modified as well.

Nice thread. It'll come in handy when I start looking for quick hitch solutions. Might be a while though. Only have a boxblade now but a bushhog will probably be fairly soon.
