Quick hitch

[nodlenor]

I recently purchased a Kubota BX2380 and then purchased a quick hitch to use with it. When I went to hook up to my King Kutter tiller the quick hitch was too wide and too tall. It would work with my blade and some other implements but I needed it to work with my tiller also. My question is, has anyone made a quick hitch that is adjustable both in height and width. I think that would make it more versitile.

Just my opinion. If you have to adjust a quick hitch to hook up, it's not really a quick hitch. What you have to do is modify your implements to fit your QH.

Very true but even if I needed to adjust it it would still be easier than trying to get the three point arms lined up. Right now I have the type of hitch that goes on the ends of the 3 point arms. They don’t work as well but a little improvement.

Priefert used to sell one adjustable between Cat 1 and 2.

But it sounds like you have a Cat 0 tiller sized for some subcompacts or garden tractors that didn't have Cat 1 or Cat 1 limited hitches.

Measure your lift arm spread and post a photo of the tiller. There may be an easy conversion.

I guess you learn something every day if you’re not careful. I thought my tractor had a cat. 1 hitch but it must be a cat 0. I still wish I had a quick hitch that I could use but it seems that’s not possible. Thanks for your info and thoughts on the matter I appreciate your help.

The BX has a limited Cat 1 hitch. It matches Cat 1 dimensions but doesn't have the full range of motion as a Cat 1 on a larger tractor.

Implements made for limited Cat one hitches usually differ by having Cat 1 pins about 3-4 inches lower than standard when the implement is horizontal.

I have both type implements. A regular cat 1 implement needs the lift arms raised about halfway to meet a level implement sitting on the ground. This limits the amount left to lift the implement. Lower pins on the limited cat 1 implements solve the problem.

Here is "standard" specification for quick hitch, just make non stand implement fit to the standard.... You only have to do it once (per implement) ...

King Kutter XB?

I went with the Pat’s system. It works better for my situation than the quick hitch that I tried. It’s not as easy to hook up but at least it works and I don’t have to alter my implements. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
