3 Point Attachment Switching not enjoying.

Get the HF QH and the adapter bracket they sell. I'm not sure of the part # for the bracket. Maybe someone else has the part #. It will work great for all equipment.

That's what it was. That's why I was thinking it way have been build wrong from the start!

You have choices:

1. Modify all of your implements to fit the framed QH. Lots of welding, bending, adjusting, and adding materials. When you get a new implement it likely will have to be modified as well.

2. Forget the QH and go back to manual hook-up. It will go faster with practice.

3. Spend a fortune and get the Deere I-Match. Figure to spend more for each attachment.

4. Get a Pat's Easy Connect and be done with it.

Ok, did my first change out today of attachments (Box Blade to 3 Pt Receiver Hitch). Just a quick briefing I am new to SCUT'S and 3point attachments! Ok is it really as much as a pain as I just experienced? I figured you pull the pins drive off attach the next. Seems like you have to twist turn and maneuver your attachment to get weight off of the pins. Am I missing any tricks? Should I be running out for this iMatch system? Doing all kinds of stuff around the house. I want to be able to be box scraping, be done with that, throw the 3 point receiver hitch on to trailer stuff around the property, quickly switch over to a heavy ballast to start moving boulders.

Just not looking to break down a schedule on when I am doing what because that attachments aren't as easy to get off as I thought. And I could see myself saying "Man I'm not dealing with switching out attachments, I'll do that next week."

Don't you like to use loud foul language and kick sh*t of the thing sometime.
Alexander Equipment - Founder of the Delta Hook Rapid 3 Point Hitch System is the least pain if you have the money to buy adapters for your implements.

Greasing the ball ends in the lower links helps me. Having a 3-pound hammer and a 4' long crowbar helps me. Being on relatively flat ground helps me. Doesn't mean it's not a pain in the rear, but at least it's a pain that only lasts five or six minutes.

Haven't gotten around to it yet, but sooner or later I imagine I'm going to make myself some dollies. The idea of just rolling the implement into place behind the parked tractor sure sounds good.

Was out wrestling a post hole digger the other day.:laughing: The foul language was flowing... for a good 20 minutes.. I'm sure I pulled my back out fighting that thing.

I think I might have found the trick is to drill it in the ground standing upright and unhook it.. and then it'll be less of a bear to get on again..

I tried talking my wife into just letting me buy a tractor for each implement :laughing:..

Well I don't need the practice hooking up implements to get better at it I have been hooking up 3pt implements since I was 9 yrs old or younger (like 44 + or - years) so that's not going to get any better.

I am not going to weld, bend, cut, adjust, and modify, to the extent you are talking at least. Some modifications are ok, but too many just don't seem worth it.

I don't have a concrete area to use dollys as suggested.

I guess pats type connections are the only way unless I stay with what I have the old fashion back up, push, pull, pound, cuss and so on. I just wanted to know which way I was going to go before I bought the hydraulic center link because if I go with the pats it will change.

The Carters work pretty well too.. I have a set for sale. I don't need them any more after getting the Kioti with the telescoping links and side sway adjusters. Also you could make a set pretty easy if you can work 1 inch thick stock.

First I have seen them. Looks like they are based on the Pat's idea.....but do not look as easy or convenient due to the "keeper pin" arangement. I can see where you may be cussing that set-up.

As my wife would tell me: "Why not buy the orignal.....your worth it!" :thumbsup:
