Today I tried out my new EZ-HITCH from Carter and Sons, hooking up my KKII tiller has never been easier. In the past it took a good 30 minutes with a prior bar and a few choice words now back up and lift. Best money I ever spend on my Kubota.

Jerome can fix you up.

I just received my EZ-Hitch and it seems to work exactly as advertized. My only issue with Carter and Sons is the use of the USPS for their shipping option. To pay $30 for shipping and handling and not be able to get tracking information is unacceptable.

But, I think that being able to hook up to my attachments in a few minutes will make me forget the USPS shipping.

As a rule all customers receive a tracking number from the USPS when the Priority Mail label is purchased. The reason Mr. Wentworth did not receive the tracking number was due to a error on my part. I entered his email address into the form incorrectly. I have refunded the shipping cost to Mr. Wentworth for the EZ-HITCHES and the Spreader Bar. As always customer satisfaction is my number 1 priority!

To Jerome Carter:
Thank you for dropping the $30 shipping charge, but the problem was not your fault. The USPS is notorious for not updating the tracking information on their web site. The day the EZ-Hitch was delivered to my home the posted status on the USPS site indicated that the post office was waiting to pick up the package. The status was first updated today to show the package was delivered.

Again, I have no issues with your company or your product, but would prefer to use FedEx or UPS for shippers. Your product is easy to install and easy to use. A few minutes after I received the hitch I was hooked up to my York rake and repairing winter damage to my driveway. Pretty slick!

One question does come to mind after using the EZ-Hitch: why didn't the original inventor of the 3-point hitch come up with something like this?

I think another question is why hasn't any tractor manufacturer come up with or adopted a similar method.LOL
Glad you like the hitch.

Thought I'd share my EZ Hitch experience.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so the EZ Hitch was appealing. Found out about it on this site and ended up buying it from Jerome on Ebay. The one I bought was the design which had round posts (2pc design). Had it just a couple of weeks and it made things easier for mounting my implements. Unfortunately this round post (2pc) design was flawed and the small hitch posts were bent using my KK tiller.

I contacted Jerome about this problem and he sent me a complete new set which do not have the round posts. I used them all fall and winter and am very pleased with them as the new ones are a much better (1pc) design. Jerome sent the new ones free including shipping, so I must admit he has kept his word on making the customers satisfaction his #1 priority.

On the old ones, I have successfully bent the small post back and weld the it back in place so now I have 2 sets of them. Anyway, the key to using this hitch is having the implement on level ground. It makes all the difference in the world.

Jerome, if you are listening, Thanks for sticking by your product & good luck.

Jerome,
That is very admirable on your part.
You are a stand-up top notch guy in my book!

A Second (or Fifth) for Jerome and his hitch. It won't fit EVERY implement, but most, and it doesn't extend the implement further from the tractor. Good product, good outfit.

I like this setup. I'm thinking seriously about ordering a set of these then using my plasma cutter to cut the actual hitching section off of the tubing then welding the hitching section to the top of my lift arms. That way I can use either the normal hitching method or the quick hitch without removing the quick hitch.



Thoughts?

There is no need to do that, we sell just the "J-Hook". It can be ordered from the carterandsonsllc.com web site. You can always call me at 502-376-1435 if you have ANY questions.

They can be found under the product catalog tab with the other Cat.1 items.

Here is a direct link to the page. Sorry for the confusion, the hooks had been taken down by mistake, but they are back up now.

Gordy,

Thanks for the order! You should be receiving your hitches VERY soon. If you have ANY questions, comments or issues; please don't hesitate to contact me.

I just want to clarify what I posted earlier about not fitting every implement. My Gannon box has heavy steel plate on both sides of the pins. The plates are closer together than the length of the pin that holds the EZ Hitch to the 3-pt. arms. I had tried the EZ on a couple other implements I own and it worked perfectly. So, I cut the pins shorter and welded washers onto them. No lynch pins, no problem fitting into the box blade (and my winch, also), and I never remove the EZ Hitch. I could grind off the welds if it became necessary.
Jerome was helpful throughout, and the hitch is EZ to use. Highly recommended.
Jim

I just ordered a set for a standard Cat 1 - 2 5/8".


I checked all my implements last evening and it should work on all of them.


I can't wait!!!
