3 point hitch quick connect

[Engine Mike]

I am still looking for a 3 point hitch quick connect for my Kubota B2320. Wow the Harbor Freight quick connect looks awesome and for $110 minus 15% seems like a great value. Best I have found on other brands and models is around $350. Of course the price does not matter if the hardware does not work. Does anyone have any experience with the Harbor Freight quick connect either good or bad. Would appreciate any experience. The customer reviews on the Harbor Freight website are good but could be staged of course.

Works good on my Yanmar, should work on the NH I have. Still need to modify a couple implements to work with it, that would have to be with most any quick hitch.

Its a great price, and I think it will work out just fine. Just make sure your implements are properly configured for this Quick Hitch. I have found after 3 years experience, some implements are just not acceptable to a QH, despite the manufacturer advertising and saying it is. Right now I have switched to Pats QH, which is really quick for the two lower lift arm connections, and I still manually connect the top link in the normal way. Ultimately I found this is best for me.

For implement usage, for example my Post Hole Digger is almost impossible to use a QH due to design of the implement. Also pin orientation and placement may need adjustment on most implements. The easiest for QH are my BoxBlade, landscape rakes, rotary and flail mowers and tillers. So after you get the QH, check that first day which of your implements may need adjustment. One other thing, the HF quick hitch is both Cat1/Cat2 ready.

Buy my HFT QH for $75. Used <1/2 day. Pick it up on your way to or back from Bronner's.

I have too many bits that aren't ASAE spec and that need unique top link configs because of that.

I also have to hook up the PTO for tiller or flail mower anyway. Pat's Easy Change suits my needs/uses well.

I've been using the HF QH for almost 10 years. Works great for me. The biggest problem you may run into is the adjustable hook bolts may interfere with some implements that have narrow upper pin connections. This issue exists with all the QH units that have adjustable hooks. This can be resolved with the simple top hook link or permanently by changing to flush pins like I did.

After reading many threads, I decided a QH was not a good fit as I have older implements that would have to be modified and I am not good at that. Then, with a rear snow blower, I have enough trouble hooking up the PTO without more stuff in the way.

I nearly pulled the trigger on a Pat's QH when there was sale a while ago on this forum. It seems like a decent compromise but waited too long. It is not as easy as the "real" QH's but more forgiving wrt what will fit and does not add more stuff at the back to deal with.

I am now looking at this:

Welcome to CARTER AND SON'S TOOL AND DIE

It seems simple and affordable but not much information on it so I wonder how well users like it.

Does it matter that much if it's not on sale?

I was all set to buy another PEC, but missed the special offer too.

I can't afford another one at full price in times like these.

Have 3 tractors/QH's, one being the HF model - all use cat1 -> cat3 bushings. I think land pride makes one that doesn't need bushings

Not much, but once the blower is hooked up, it stays on until April so no hurry. Still wondering if the Carter is a better option

I initially bought a HF quick hitch and took it back for reasons mentioned above...the top hook needed rigged to make it work...

I bought a Pat’s system and never looked back! It works well with all my attachments (brush hog, land plane, ballast box, rear blade). I did, however, have to buy a longer top link (Tractor supply $50)....
