Subscribed. A accord style hitch is on my to-build list.

I also like the new ones from Gangl Gangl Docking Systems

I built one patterned after a jiffy hitch using 2 inch square tubing with 1/4 wall thickness, and welded a piece of 3/16 x 2 flatbar to the face of it so it matches up with 3 inch ship channel for the implement side. the nice thing about the way the jiffy hitch is made, is it incorporates a 2 inch receiver tube in the design so you can just put a trailer hitch in the tube and go. I will post pictures of mine soon.

What can a Delta hitch do that a $79 hitch from HF not do??

I am just a poor old working man. $1,200 bucks is a lot of money for this system. I guess if you farm for a living and make your living off your tractor then it's worth it.

According to the video, it connects the PTO and hydraulics too, so you can swap everything without leaving the seat...?

I built my hitch for the tractor and 4 implements for around $200. I really like the self aligning of the hitch, if you get anywhere close to lined up it will connect. also I think my hitch keeps the attachments closer to the tractor which is important on small tractors.

pictures of my home made jiffy hitch. I also included a pic of the ship channel, it has much longer sides than regular channel iron.
