Other than Pat's which Quick Hitch

[AlbertaDan]

Are they any other brands of quick hitches to look at?

I looked at Pat's, but according to their website it won't work on my BX2360.

The straight tabs are only 3-3/4" long, I need 4" for Pat's. Is their any others to look into?

I can get a Speeco locally from an automotive store (Princess Auto). Has anyone tried this make? Has any heard of it?

You could look at EZ-Hitch from Carter & Sons LLC (web site is carterandsonsllc.com). I just ordered a cat 1 set from them. Less than $90 delivered. The configuration is a bit different, it sets on top rather than at the end of the lift arm and you manually insert a pin to capture the lift pin rather than have a spring loaded latch.

Call Pat's. They will specially make a QH for most any tractor.

They just did one for my M7040, Cat 2.

I have a Speeco quick hitch, (actually a Woods, but directions "look amazingly" like Speeco) and I love it. My woods tiller, back blade fit great. I've modified my NH blower, middle buster and carry-all to work with it. Best part, for the back blade, I never leave the seat. No fiddling with the top link for any of my implements, just hook and go. Of course, you still have to hook up the PTO.

No offence, but the implements for a BX are pretty small, do you change implements really often? The only one I have trouble with every once in a while is my 3 ph mower, its about 5000 lbs so I can't budge it if its not lined up perfect.

Some of us are old or infirm and need all the help we can get.

Yup, bought mine from the Dartmouth, NS store 2 weeks ago, and wouldn't you know it, they are on sale this week for $60 off

I'm real happy with mine. Princess in Dartmouth just stores them on a shelf and both of the locking pin lift handles (plastic covers) were cracked. Contacted Speeco and a new set was dropped in the mail, no questions asked. Very happy with the customer service and the QH as well. I've only got two implements right now, a Frontier Back Blade and Frontier Ballast Box. My Tractor is a JD 2305.

You can probably find one stateside cheaper, but then you have to deal with shipping, and possibly Customs. I don't think you will go wrong with Princess and the Speeco.

We have Speeco CAT1 on our tractor but there are other systems such as 3 point hitch | 3 point quick hitch | 3 point tractor hitch | The Deltahook
Delta hook is probably very easy to hook up but you have to buy a matting piece for every implement you have.
Considering the price of the Delta hook it is cheaper to buy Speeco (or similar) and add hydraulic top link.
