iMatch vs quick hitch

[kennyd]

Actually, there's not a lot wrong with the cheap ones. Other than potentially doing a little grinding to make the fit a little smoother, they are very generic. I don't recall ever hearing of a QH that didn't work or broke.

The Horrible Fright ones are very thin, the difference between them and an iMatch is like 30 pounds because of it. And, they do indeed break sometimes...

My iMatch perfectly fits all of my Frontier attachments, just like I expected. Had a bad experience with my Kubota tractor - the quick hitch I bought from Tractor Supply didn't fit my Land Pride attachment. Returned it.

Thanks for the comment.

Are we all pretty confident Kioti is here to stay? It looks to me like they are. I probably sound stupid because I say it like "coyote" but maybe it's "keeyotee." Who knows.

Kioti is here to stay and makes good tractors, I own two CK20(1600hrs) and CK2510(400hrs). The other reason I can say with confidence is that Bob Cat equipment Co. chose Kioti to make their line of tractors for them. If you are at all familiar with Bob Cat they have an extremely good reputation to protect and don't sell any junk. but again the dealership is very important to your tractor owning happiness.

I bought a Harbor Frt quick hitch got it home and discovered that it fit only one out of 6 pieces of equiptment I owned. What really peed my off was 5 of 6 were made by King Kutter and all had different hitch spacing.
Solution is I have PATS QUICK HITCH on both my tractors and never had a problem except one of the springs broke called Pats and they sent me new springs for both hitches NO CHARGE!! Now that's good service.

This thread is on QH but as an aside that is an interesting pattern on those tire chains in your picture.

I have the HF quick hitch and it is well made. I have found it to be very strong. All quick hitches are only as good as the hook up. I think The Land Pride hitch is the one I would buy if I were replacing the one I have. That being said, the Pat's Easy Change System might be the better choice. It is more flexible but not as slick as the QH if the implements fit.

9 lbs diference. The Harbor Freight is 9 lbs lighter than the JD Imatch.

JD Imatch 70lbs
Landpride fixed hook 67 lbs
Landpride adjustable 70 lbs
Northern Tool 68 lbs
Harbor Freight 61.5 lbs

Anyone know the weight of the Agri-Supply version? That's what I have but I didn't think to weigh it before I installed it.

I think you may have miss read my post.
I meant that even though I know this thread is about QH's I was interesting in those tire chains as that is style I have not seen before,
and they look as if they could be fairly effective.
