Which QuicK Hitch do you guys prefer??

Pat's! I'm constantly changing implements and they work great. :thumbsup:

I got the HF one on my BX for 2 years now and love it. Due to BX limited capacity- I don't forsee any problems with QH.

I had Pat's and it/they were great but I've since bought two different types off ebay for under $100 per set. One set hooks up like Pats and the other set lets the implement sit on top of the quick hitch or under it. These cheaper ones are not cut to as close tolerances as Pat's but I prefer them and sold my Pats. The one set that lets the implement sit on top or under helps with the to short drive shaft implements problem.

I got some like that as well, the ones behind. I also put the telescoping stabilizers on my B3200. Those together make things easy.

My vote is for hf (but I only paid $70) Did have to do the log wedge/sledge trick (try search) but think they have resolved. I to bought the y shaped top link adapter for $9? but only use on backblade (hf works just off trac pull top link pins adjust j hook repin) My other implements seem to have same top link height. Best $70 spent on BX-23 23 horses

ymmv Pat R

I bought the Harbor Freight one and made it fit most but not all my implement. It just became another implement to take off and put on. The other thing I didn't like about it, I could not see the actual hook up because of the 3" down tube... I like Pat's, easy to see for lining things up.

My first was a speeco from tractor supply. Came with the hook and the Y adapter. The downside is buying bushings for all your implements.

My second is from Northern Tools which is probably the same as HF. It only has the hook. I need to buy the Y adapter because it works on every implement.

Just make sure that your implements are about half an inch wider than the quick hitch. I think 27 inches is the magic number.

Sure makes life easier when it is 98 degrees and 98% humidity.

Do they give you extra bushings? Or how much are they??

I got these weld on hooks and I like them a lot probably the best $65 I have spent on the tractor yet. The pins are missing from the pic because I just got done painting the hooks at this moment the pic was taken.

Alot of people like the Pat's system I see. I checked them out and I guess my only question is about the top arm hook-up. Looks like you still have to get off the tractor to attach that maybe? Another thing.......the adjustable link in between the arms.....that looks like it might could get beat up fairly easy, that might be just me though. I did see though when you buy the Pat's system thay give you 3 sets of the washers and pins for the implement. No need to buy the bushings for the Pat's system either right? Definetly looks like a tough hunk of steel though which is what a guy needs. Thans for the input fellas

Yup have to get off to do pins and top link etc but that sure beats man handling a 700 lb attachment around to get the lower links just right. :thumbsup:
