Been looking at quick hitches. Called the usual suspects for prices. :laughing:

Two Land Pride dealers quote around $463 + shipping for their quick hitch (QH-15). :confused2: No way I'm paying that for a quick hitch.

Soooo I called the Deere dealer for a quote on a Woods QH. He said he couldn't even find that they made a QH! :confused3: But... he said I have an IMatch hitch that's been sitting outside for a year and he wanted to move it. So he's pricing it at $250.00. Not too bad for green gold. :rolleyes:

Soooo... what do you think about the deal? It's going on a Kubota L3830 so I'll be painting it anyway... Orange! :thumbsup: I'll leave the Deere sticker on it though... :D

And no I'm not buying a Harbor Freight or TSC hitch. :smiley_aafz:

I'm attaching a couple pics so you can see it for yourselves. Thanks guys! :)

The price seems fair, I bought a used one in similar shape for $150. A new one is $300 although I got my first new one for $225 on a dealer day. :thumbsup:

Wow you got a good deal on both of yours. Have you had any problems out of them? They appear to be made well.

You did good...they are trouble free and will outlast your tractor unless you paint it orange-then it will break faster:laughing: Of course just kidding:thumbsup:

Google, Worksaver Quick hitch, and look at the top hook adjustment, I seen one simular, (not the same) at the local kubota dealer, My experinces with quick hitches, tells me, the adjustable is the way to go, thats why JD puts that I match sticker on there hitches, and there 3 point tools, as long as they got that sticker,..there guranteed to match I think the one I looked at was, $ 225.00, and looked tough, if you google deercreeksales, and call dan he can tell you where he gets them, Eric

I paid $225 for my (new) Deere QH too about a year ago. So, I think I'd offer the Dealer about $175 and see how he responds...have the cash in your pocket.

I thought putting Green stuff on Orange things was illegal in most places!

Seriously, I traded my JD I-Match for a Land Pride Quick Hitch for the additional flexibility of the adjustable top link. Both are very well built, and work well. I don't think you'll be disappointed with a little bit of Green.

I'd leave it Green in case you do decide to trade it for something else, but I'd bet you'll like it well enough to keep. Especially at that price! I paid $300 for my I-Match.

Yeah the non adjustable top hook worries me some. :confused:

I have a carry all, woods grader blade, woods bush hog, KK tiller, KK box blade and 3 point hitch trailer mover. What's the chances of all those lining up right? :confused2:

Well the dealer called back... I just bought it for $223.00 :thumbsup:

I think that's a pretty good deal.

The speedco thing at TSC is $290! And not nearly as well made. The welds are awful!!! :mad:
