Harbor Freight Quick hitch

[1MOA]

Thanks. Was going to point that out, but didn't want to start an argument. Figured I'd let it drop.

As it is known the 2520 has issues with clearance on the rear arms and was asking if the 3 point from HF had any issues with it.

Mine shipped today. Specs say the spacing is 27-1/4". That matches my Bushhog 286 exactly, but looks like Ill need to space out the pins a little on my box blade. It's about 26-1/2.

Well, the hitch arrived. Bad news - NOT a Speeco. It's made in China by "Country Way". Good news is it seems to be made pretty well, although the lower pin retainer dogs are a little lightweight-looking.

Maybe it's the difference between SKU 14116 and the 14116000 I bought? I've complained to RK. We'll see what they have to say.

As I said, if you check the Q/A on the site, they specifically stated that it is a Speeco QH.

I do have a Ventrac made in Orrville Ohio, and a Massey Ferguson made in somewhere USA

We have a 8320R and a 8335R both made in Waterloo Iowa. They're still made in the USA tractors just not what most people on here are in the market for.

I saw that Phys. And pointed that out in my feedback to RK. As I told them, I feel deceived. I expect they will tell me something like that "our "Country Way" hitch is made in the same factory to the same specs as the Speeco".

You're prolly right, but I wouldn't be inclined to acceptance of that excuse, either.

Good luck!

I picked up a genuine Speeco on CL last week for $100. They are out there. However, so far it doesn't fit any of my implements. Do most need to be modified to accept the quick hitch?

Most newish implements should be quick hitch compatible. Older stuff often needs to be modified.

I haven't done a lot of research on the speeco but there is a possibility that the hitch is the issue and not the implements. I think the only hitch I've read that doesn't need modified is the landpride and deer.
