my simple quick hitch

That's pretty slick, nice job. I modified my lift arms so they telescope, but I think I like your way better. Took me a lot more than three hours too.

Can you show how you did this?

John Deere has some that do this made out of square tube (3020/2640 and others). Due to that that I have considered make new lower arms for my tractor out of 2" receiver hitch tube so they can extend.

I cut the end off the arm and welded an extension on it with a slot in it. I made the arm into a box with some 1/4 diamond plate I had.

I went through the exact same thing with the Piranha tooth bar and decided if I need one that bad I will look in Canada for something or build one myself. I've heard nothing but good about that toothbar but for what it will cost to get it to me, it's not worth it. Buying anything tractor related (because it is usually heavy) from the US is completely out of the question for us Canadians, simply because of the outrageous shipping charges. I have been searching for the best grapple style for my needs for some time now. There seem to be several styles that will work great but they are not in Canada. I believe I will have to build my own so I get exactly what I want for a price that is affordable, but thats ok I love to fabricate stuff. I wish there was a place in Canada like Everything Attachments but I haven't found one yet


Well, Stomper...Since my machine shop consists of a cordless drill and a adjustable wrench - if you’re willing to fab up another set, I’ll gladly pay for the shipping to BC. Let me know.
