I don't have a QH yet, but I'm looking at Pat's, I don't the the HF would last very long on a 85hp.
Exactly. Loader hoses aren't exempt from failure either. Just because YOU haven't had one pop doesn't mean anything.Yep, no different than loader hoses or backhoe hoses.
If all you have is one implement to hook up to your tractor you may over think what is best for that particular set up. When you have multiple implements you need to standardize the hook up so that you can easily change between them. A quick hitch of good quality and implements that are properly fitted are the easiest way to go. Many years ago I spent a day modifying all of my implements to work with the quick hitch, that was a day well spent. Since that time I either build or buy implements that fit the quick hitch. Life is good.
x2.
And I use the "boot spur" for the top link for everything now instead of the hook.
Normal course of connection.
Not OSHA approved.
Place beer in cup holder.
Have lower handles in open position.
Backup and seat lower pins.
Turn around in seat. One foot on Hst and reach over back to flip boot spur over and line up quick release pin by finessing Hst pedal and 3 pt lever.
Raise up to reach and flip lower lock levers.
Sit back in seat normally, raise implement,
Secure beer from cup holder, and drive a way.
Haven't figured out how to connect the PTO yet from the seat. Oh well. Time to go get another beer or use the bathroom by then anyway. Sigh....
Yep, you'd think that if we can dock in outer space, someone could come up with a self connecting PTO drive system. :confused3:
It would be easy if there was only one tractor and implements were standardized.![]()
