Pretty good deal on the HF quick hitch, with a 20% off coupon it came to $83. The JD IMatch was $300. So I took a chance and I'm glad I did. Very impressed good quality at a great price. Of course at that price you'd expect to make a couple modifications which is the reason for this thread. This modification is for JD implements but should work with others.
This has to do with the top hook and the two bolts that attach it to the QH itself. The bolt head and the nut are too thick and won't allow the top hook to fit under the implement bushing. Now this could easily be fixed with a welder and a couple beads. However, I wanted to be able to move the hook up and down if need be, so... I Took the hook to the grinder and ground out two 1/8 deep trenches. They could have been a little more narrow but this was the width of my grinding wheel.
