Anyone have info on a Quick Hitch?

[JRLEWIS]

I've found a Quick Hitch at Tractor Supply. It's Cat 1, which I need for my Kubota L4400. I need something by this Friday. Question is, is this a decent unit? I have a Woods 72 inch finish mower, Woods 72 inch Rotary mower and a Woods 72 inch box blade.

Thanks,

J.R.

I bought one for my B3200 a few weeks ago, the yellow one made by SpeedCo. It's a nice heavy Quick Hitch, I believe it is built in USA by a company in Colorado. I paid around $ 240.00 at TSC vs around $400.00 for a Land Pride black one. The only thing I noticed that was different was the color.As newbury said make sure that you get the bushings with the split pins that go on you attachments. TSC removes them to sell them seperate at Around $28.00. If you look at there web site they are to be included with hitch. You will like it.

JRLEWIS,
They are really called bushings that go over your attachments 7/8" pins that lock the attachment to the Quick Hitch, make sure you get them. They go over the 7/8" pins and attach with a split pin through the lynch pin hole.

So I need a set for each attachment, if I don't want to change them every time.. Correct?


Thanks..

You might look into the Speeco Ehitch. It's a new cat 1 product that doesn't need bushings.
Speeco is now using the p/n HF141160

Yes you do, but one they are installed, your good to go.

Comparison of the JD Imatch and Speeco Ehitch

The JD Imatch
lower hooks are 27.25 inches apart (interior dimension) and require bushings that are 1 5/8 inch diameter
There is no vertical adjustment of the upper hook

The Speeco Ehitch
lower hooks are 26.5 inches apart (interior dimension) and take pins that are 7/8 inch diameter - no bushings
The upper hook is vertically adjustable 3.5 inches
