Jiffy Hitch System

Saw this on youtube today, another quick hitch product:

Cute. If you look at it on YouTube there's also a closeup of how the PTO connection works. There is a very short shaft that connects the PTO stub to the tractor-mounted part of the hitch. Then a PTO implement is permanently connected to the implement-mounted part of the hitch. A control connects the PTO in two hitch parts.

I see three issues:
1. All that PTO stuff is very convenient, but doesn't it make it expensive?
2. How does that very short shaft between the PTO stub and the hitch avoid putting the u-joints at too sharp an angle?
3. The whole thing looks like it moves the implement back 8 or 10 inches, which is evident in how bouncing the mower in the video raises the front end of the tractor.

Do I understand the video that you have to have matching adapter on each attachment to match unit on 3PH on tractor?... Seem to me if you have a lot of attachments it could get quite expensive...

Jiffy Hitch has been around for 30 years, the one with the built in PTO is new.

This is the basic system: https://www.jiffyhitchsystems.com/how-it-works/

I started with the most basic 3 point arms, moved up to an adjustable 3 point arm system and then to a quick hitch. The quick hitch is worth the cash for sure. My only gripe is with bushings or adaptors to make it fit right. This is me saying this in my 40's.

I bet something that hooks up both when I'm deep into my 60-70s would be worth every penny, but not now.

I am a quick hitch fan as well. When you et all your implements to play nice with the QH, it is a beautiful day

Anybody use the Euro QH that uses the ball on implement lift pins?
I bought PAT weld on and they work but not as well as I expected.

Yes, it came standard on my tractor. In my opinion, the only QH that is worth getting. No breaking bolts like Pats or frames getting in the way, it just works. The issue with PATs is that it removes with ball joint of the lift arms and then puts everything on a bind till something snaps, usually the bolts.

@Avenger Has a great video installing a set on his tractor.

I have them on my Mahindra 7520 and plan on putting them on my Mahindra 3215 if I can ever find the time.
There is also a Euro QH for the top links.

I put the ball and hook system on my tractor and I’m a very big fan.


Euro Style Quick Hitch Hooks on a Kubota L3301

In Europa welded Euro hooks with balls are standard in most tractors.
These hooks do´t move the attachment backwards.
There is no change in lift capacity.
So you can use same PTO shaft as before.
There is no heavy frame as in QH. So you have more room to join the PTO shaft easy.
You can use Cat1 and Cat 2 attachments because there are two hole size balls. Smaller holes for cat1 lift pins and bigger holes for cat2 pins.
The width of lower links is freely movable. So it is easy to move from Cat1 to Cat2 attachment. Or to older not standard attachment.
The height of the upper pin in attachment can be free. So your attachment can be as they are, no welding there. Note upper pin must be open from upside in the implement. See my first picture.

More good. You can attach your implement
from the cabin. Hydraulic pipes and PTO of course you have to join at back of the tractor.
Here is my small Kubota.
Notice the top link with the rope and a spring inside keeping it upwards. And other spring with chain to lighten the top link.

And lower arm with Welded Euro hook and its opening linkage.

Next is for JD and Waltescheid hook

Here left lower link is locked and right lower link can be moved sideways from the cabin. There can be slots for ca2 and cat3 in the fender.
Euro hooks can also be used from the cabin.
And the top link can also be used from the cabin.
Use rope style as in my Kuboa before.

Here are my works with QH and Euro hooks.

Euro hooks

QH

To day I like most of my EURO HOOKS

Lowering of lift arms was more rapid with QH (big WEIGHT) than Euro hooks in winter.
