Do I need a 3 point quick hitch?

   / Do I need a 3 point quick hitch? #42  
I have a tiller with the old open pins. They are a pain. But the two newer implements, a Woddland Mills stump chipper, and wood chipper both have the two sided parts with a pin to go through the tractor arm. Those are really easy to hook up. Not sure I rehook often enough to make a quick hitch worthwhile.
Bolt on pins aren't any older or newer than clevis style pins. Clevis style is a bit more complex & expensive, but over double the strength of the bolt on style. You can easily get the proper sleeves to make them proper Quick Hitch compatible.

While I have most of my gear setup with the sleeves/bushings, a few do not. They still work fine but are a little sloppy. I'm sure the rest of my ancient flail mower will fall apart before the hitch pins, even with them wearing a lot faster due to no bushings.
