Do I need a 3 point quick hitch?

I have a Speeco quick hitch and love it. Matter of fact, I never take it off. works with my blower, back blade, middle buster...etc... like someone else mentioned, with the proper bushings, there really isn't much "play".

I've got a Land Pride Quick Hitch and wouldn't be without it. Drop the 3PH, back up, and pick up the 3PH... If there's no PTO shaft you're done. A Hydro top link makes things even easier.

The Land pride is made in Kansas... a big selling point for me! I believe the Woods to be re-branded Chinese.
Befco makes one like the I-Match, without the adjustable top hook, and LEE makes a really nice heavy duty one.

I have the topntilt with extendable links too but the quick hitch is still an improvement.

Whats an extendable link? That's a new one on me!

Usually part of a manufacturers "deluxe" 3pt hitch. Makes mounting an implement easy.

Now isn't that something! Never saw anything like that before. That would make it way to easy to connect when you don't back up completely straight, it's almost like cheating isn't it!
I also want to get the quick hitch and the hydraulic center link but I just have not got around to it. The one from harbor freight would be fine with me. I really want the quick connect so I can put it on and adjust the side sway bars and never have to move them again. I really hate having to adjust those sway bars every time I need to hookup and or disconnect. I want the HCL just because I am getting pretty lazy as I get older.

Priefert makes a real nice quick hitch. Adjustable width and height.

How does the top link of the I-hitch / Quick Hitch keep an implement from driving the link off of the bushing? I can see the lower arms have a keeper that lock the lower half in, but nothing on the top link I can see.

The bottom holds both if it can't come out the bottom because it's locked in then it can't raise out the top

Right, every 3 point attachment that I have seen has rigid frame so that the top pin can't move up or down from the bottom pins.

The problem now is the old stuff and some new stuff will not fit a I-hitch / Quick Hitch without some modification.

We use Pat's quick hitch system on our MX5800 and also used it on our L3800. We really like it. We also have the extending ends of the lower lift arms on the MX5800 but we use Pat's system regardless and it works better for us. We did have to buy the version of Pat's that reduces the 3PH hook-up size from Category 2 to Category 1. FWIW (if anything), we previously used the Delta Hitch system. It works great but it costs a lot to put the female components on all of your attachments. We like Pat's system better.
