They are not made to quick hitch or 3PH standards. But some QH's may work if the top hook can be adjusted high enough. Standard 3PH vertical pin space is 18 inches, and 15 inches for a QH. These are 19.

A lot depends on the trailer weight. I sent the seller of a similar item on eBaya question about the material for the horizontal member. That particular one was "C" channel, not square tubing. I didn't buy it.

I wonder about (hence the trailer weight comment) a 3 pt being generally designed for extension forces which is fine if you're pulling the trailer. When backing up a trailer there is compression on the hitch. If the trailer is heavy, maybe a wheel drops in a rut, or you back into an immovable object can damage to the 3 point components occur?

There could be control issues as well since the 3 pt. isn't a fixed point. I pull my log arch using the 3 point rather than drawbar, but 8 MPH is about top speed because the wheels aren't well aligned and it will get moving the tractor side to side pretty good.

If you used your draft sensing the steeper the hill you back up the higher your 3pt would lift :) A lot of ground engaging implements compress the top link, it's designed for both compression and pulling.
