quick hitch

I use a harbor freight quick hitch. Like most I've seen the top hook can be moved up or down. I want to set the hook to one spot and leave it there. Currently I have 3 implements, a box blade. A trailer hitch that I made and I just got a Titan Ballast box. I set the height for the hook to...

Hello all!! I have only had my LS XJ2025H for a few months now, but love it!! One thing that a friend (Kubota owner) recommended was to get a quick hitch, especially since I switch between my brush hog and 3-point finish mower once in awhile. I was wondering if any other LS owners have used...

I bought a used front BX2750D blower with BX2751 quick hitch and BX2752 mid PTO. But I need the longer BX2753 mid PTO shaft to fit my BX25D machine. From what I've read the BX2752 is 11 1/2" long and fits BX22, BX23, BX1800/BX2200, and BX1850/BX1860. This is the one I have! The BX2753 is 14...

As I have several rear mounted tools for my L2501 Kubota have been thinking to get Pat's quick hitch in cat 1 type. I see TBN sells these for $157.00 less stabilizer arm that adds $25.00 to the cost. Is this stabilizer necessary and do all those having Pat's quick hitch recommend one? I will be...

Want to get a cat 2 quick hitch. Never had one with the old L3400 cause nothing would fit it. Homemade implements, old disc's and plows and cultivators, etc. 1950's -1980's implements weren't designed for such, and most weren't difficult to hook anyway. Now with a cat 2 mx5100....stuff isn't...

if both QHs were the same price is the Speeco that much better. thanks in advance!

Hi All, I'm relatively new to the Compact Tractor scene and have recently purchased a B7200 HST 4x4 with a few attachments. Included was a front quick hitch attachment for the snowblower and blade, but i was told it wasn't compatible with the mid mount mower and would need to be taken off to...

I have the EA 60 inch rotary cutter. It is not QH adaptable they say. Has any one made an adapter for the top link connection?

Does anyone here operate a Farmi winch on a quick hitch? Or is it not advisable? Thanks

I just got a new tractor and am using a John Deere Quick Hitch. My problem is when I us the box blade with tines down the box blade jumps off of the quick hitch! I looked on the JD website for guidance but could not find any! My question is should you not use the quick hitch for implements...

Can a box blade pulled by a quick hitch be 'canted'? I don't use the box scraper much, but when I do I sometimes want to 'cant' or tilt it using uneven control arms to scrape a shallow ditch - for rain runoff for example. Can this still be done using the Harbor Freight quick hitch? Thanks,

Tractor is JD4320, I love it. I have a Howse 72" rotary cutter along with a box scraper and rake. Received a HF quick hitch that may work, if it's heavy/strong enough. I've ordered 3 sets of pin adaptors (bushings). The pto shaft/clutch assembly is now too short. Must have been marginal at...

Does any one have an example of a UNALTERED lifter arm as circled in this picture? This one is not factory and before it broke it would only allow the lift to goes between the very bottom of it's range to the center of it's range. I need to buy a good original arm, any one know where or got...

Seems to be pretty well made, I'm tired of trying to line up draft arms several times a day when working on a project.

Well the general consensus on this site was that the HF QH was "good enough" if you're willing to modify things...so I went ahead and bought it on the Memorial Day sale. Of course my rear scraper blade hit the bolts for the top hook, so it was off to the shop. Hopefully this will help someone...

Hello all. I am the proud owner of a new Kubota MX5200. It has the FEL, the 72" Landpride box blade and the 72" Landpride cutter. I also have the dealer installed Quick Hitch. When I took delivery, it had the cutter attached. Worked well on one lap around the field. Switched to the box...

Following extensive Internet searching I am unable to identify the quick hitch on my McConnell front end loader. Can someone wiser than I help me out please?

I picked up a quick hitch bushing and tang for my bcs but need mounting hardware. Anyone know the spec on the bolts and where to get them?

Tried to put these together this morning. Doesn't look like the geometry is right. The QH hits the GS before the pins can engage. At best I can get one side or the other locked. The top hook / pin can't seat at all. Brand new GS1548. It has a sticker that indicates "Quick Hitch Series B"...

I notice when my tiller is hooked up to my quick hitch there is a lot of free play at the connection points and when the tiller starts bucking it slams back and forth beating the heck out of the QH. And I find the same is true for other implements that are attached using the QH. When an...

Hello all...am getting a 3pt quick hitch for my L2900. Am also considering fabbing up some kind of ballast box. My question is - does it make much of a difference if the ballast box is hooked up via the quick hitch (which means it hangs out a bit further out back), or is it more effective if...

Has anyone put a 3 pt quick hitch on their 2538. My dealer sells one but I was told it won't work on the 2538 because it hits the fenders at the stop/turn signals and ruins that area. My tractor is brand new and I haven't broken them off "yet" so I was l looking for maybe another brand that...

Hi all, I purchased a used quick hitch for my B3300. I'm interesting in the mounting of the plate that holds the pin for the rear of the mount. I have two brackets, but the pin looks to align with the bottom of the loader mount...I have found pics for just about every other arrangement...except...

I have an EA 48" rotary brush cutter that I tried to hook up using my new Harbor Freight quick hitch (Haul Master branded). The quick hitch actually worked really well out of the box to connect to my EA tiller. The tiller has a fixed top pin. The rotary cutter, however, has the adjustable...

My tractor (NX6010) has cat 2 sized pin slots, however, most of my implements are bushed up, they are cat 1 sized. Not sure what QH I should get, a cat 2 or cat 1? I'd prefer to get the bigger/heavier one, but not sure it will work with my implements because they're not cat 2. Or is it as...

I purchased a Cat 1 Quick Hitch from my local HF for my XG3037 and have to say that it has been one of the best tractor "extras" that I have bought......ever! No more killing my back or having to wait until I have help. Works great and is quick and easy. Did have to buy a couple of adapters...

I'm a new owner of a JD 3039R. It seems to be a great machine so far as one weekend of working with it has shown. There are a couple of things however that I wish were different and one of them stands out as maybe my own fault. With the machine I ordered a JD(Frontier) Quick Hitch. I know I...

I got a new quick hitch and it won't fit on the 3-point arms. The ball (don't know the correct term) at the end of the 3-point arm is too wide to fit in the "pocket" on the back of the quick hitch. Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you fix it?

I just bought a quick hitch for my tractor. My bush hog, Woods brand, doesn't give the top hook enough depth to catch. Any ideas? I don't want to cut out any metal. I'm afraid it will weaken the attachment point.

Does anyone know of a 3 pt quick attach hitch for a Cat 1 tractor (i.e. CK35) that will fit Cat 1 implements 7/8" pins? Everything I find for Cat 1 quick attach hitches require bushings for a Cat 1 implement to fit it. Somebody must make a Cat 1 for Cat 1 implements.

Dude, this is at least the 4th forum you've cross-posted this spam to, knock it off.

Looking at getting a Category 1 quick hitch soon. Any recommendations on which brand people prefer or which ones to avoid and why?

Okay, here's why I ask: I change implements all the darned time. During the growing season there's days when i swap implements 6 times a day. Having a second tractor helps, but doesn't solve the problem. Not all of my implements are quick hitch compatible, so I can't use one myself, but here's...

Ok how many of you are using a Pat's Quick Hitch on your 3 point?

I have problems getting rear locking pin into the hitch. Cannot get rear hole to align right on right side. Have had some difficulty in the past but could eventually get the pin in place. Anyone have any tips on how to get this to line up right.

I for some reason keep bending the Comp-stablizer bar on my 3 point hitch. I have the Backhoe bracket mounted and I'm thinking this bracket must limit the play of the stabilizer bars, and if I'm not careful and the stabilzer gets hung up the Comp-stablilizer part bends. Possibly this is meant...

I am considering this system for my MX4800 but I need some input on how it does with heavy ground engagement like a sub soiler and plow. I regularly push to the limits of my traction with loaded tires. Will it handle this level of use ok?

If someone has one to sell or knows of a good dealer to buy one from please let me know. Thanks in advance..

i got a cat 2 quick hitch made by warrior manufacturing and tried to use it with my bushhog bh26 and the top of the hitch on the bush hog seems not to be in spec. put a rod though the lower pin holes and measured from center of rod to center of bushing on top of hitch and it is around 14inches...

Looking for peoples opinion who have used Pat's quick hitch. Looking to do quick and easy switches between blade and pto generator when I'm not home. Wife can make the 3pt work, but I'm trying to make it easier for her. So. that led me to looking at quick hitches. Appreciate the help

Curious if this PTO kit will work with a 2750D snow blower? My BX is the TLB with the factory FEL and BH, and not the "D" , but I am not sure if I need the shorter length shaft kit (2752) to run with this set up, or if the longer one above will suffice? Thanks, Tol

i have a neighbor that might be selling a warrior manufacturing cat 2 quick hitch. anyone have one of these or seen reviews on one ?

Been meaning to make one of these for way too long. Saw the ad for this on everyone's favorite auction site and ordered one up. Showed up today, thought I'd share some observations. Main construction is 2 in tube, slightly greater than 1/8 wall thickness (.148 or so). Side plates are 1/2...

Ugly welds but they hold. lol Thought some might like to see how I adapted my KK finish mower to my HFQH. I mow regularly with my tractor, but still use it for other things and the HFQH makes it a breeze to drop/hook up now that I took the time to adapt it. Orig. floating dog bone attachment...

Hey everyone, I just added a QH15 quick hitch to my L3901 and like I've read, it gets super close and will even hit the tail lights depending on how my top link is adjusted. I've dropped the side links to their lowest hole but the handles on the quick hitch still get super close if I have the...

I have yet to see this and I'm not sure why it doesn't exist. I have a few Cat2 quick hitch attachments, and lots of Cat1. The NX is kind of between the two. From my understanding, the lift-pin-to-top-pin spacing on both QH standards is the same, the only difference is the Cat2's are outboard of...

Recently purchased a JD 5100e for farm building. It's working great thus far. There is a back blade available from a friend, but it doesn't work with the geometry of the quick hitch on my tractor. Cat 2 system. I've never before had a quick hitch and thus never thought about varying geometry...

Hello, Just uploaded a new video about quick hitches. I give basic info about my I-Match hitch connected to a Kubota L3830. Let me know if you have any questions. #1, Accessories Your Tractor Needs! Quick Hitch - YouTube

From what I have gathered, Kubota offered one style of front quick hitch (which I will refer to as the "old", or L40 style) hitch during the L40 series tractor era. This style front hitch used a triangular mounting system, which utilized a female receiving bracket on the implement side. It...

Just a quick shout out to all of you who have shared your great ideas over the years which give the rest of us the benefit of your ingenuity. As an example, earlier this summer I purchased a Quick Harbor Freight Hitch (yeah, you know, on sale and 20% off - cheap!) and of course had the same...

I have been considering a quick hitch for my scut. My only attachment at the moment is a rotary cutter, but it would be nice to simplify the connection/disconnection process when I am using the scut for other things. Originally I looked at something like the Northern Tools quick hitch. I have...

Hello, I am having a heck of a time installing my PTO shaft when hooking up my Land Pride brush hog. The problem is that with the Quick-Hitch there is not as much room to work. It is next to impossible for me by myself to lean over the interferences while holding the heavy PTO shaft and pull...

Does your pins on your quick tach go down very far into the latch area? I have a 1 inch pin that is tappered and it only goes down into latch so about 1/8" to 1/4" of the pins thickness of the 1 inch pin is holding on all 3 attachments. I was concerned about this from the beggining but told that...

I am just not trying to hook up a Speeco Cat 1 quick hitch that I purchased last winter used. I am having a heck of a time getting my Woods brush hog to hook up. I welded some ears on the top link attachment arms to rectify an interference issue I was having with the top hook on the quick hitch...

I change implements very often, from blade to brush hog, to rototiller with the brush hog and rototiller being a PITA to hook up to. Almost like the arms will barely open wide enough for the pins. I've been thinking about trying one of the quick hitch units from Northern Tool, but so far there...

Hi, has anyone here purchased or used the Delta Hook quick hitch? It seems like a great addition for multiple implements.

Can someone please verify the inside width of the HF QH? (inside pin to pin). I.E. minimum distance inside. I know the add says 27 3/16th but I am not sure if that is the inside distance counting the pins that go through the lift arms or just the inside width of the unit itself. I have a...

What do you think? I'm trying to set my snow blower up to work with my quick hitch and have the same problem as with the Wallenstien chipper/shredder. I can get the bottom pins to sit in tight but no matter what combinations I use the top pin does not sit down tight in the top hook. There is a...

I've been researching the category 1 quick hitch and have a question about it. There seems to be an optional item that attaches to the quick hitch center third link area. The item is shaped like a tuning fork and people say that it makes it easier to hook up to an implement while using this...

I got in today a quick hitch adapter from Aldomi. I ordered about a week ago and they had to drill the pin holes, and paint it and got it out. I just had to give them my loader boom outside and inside dims measurements. Plus, I had to give them the pin size. I got a 4 in 1 bucket for it and a...

I have a small loader, that I would like to switch over to skid steer quick hitch, how much are they rated for? Loader has about 8k lift capacity. Will I just rip the quick hitch up? Would like to be able to put a bale handler and pallet forks on and still have them for other tractors.

Hi Guys, We purchased a nice JD Cat 2 quick hitch second hand. It is cast, not box style. However the distance between the lower hook arms center to center is 38"" which I think is the measurements for a Cat 3. We are using it on a JD 5425 about 80 hr. The hitch is a monster, a little...

I built myself a chisel of sorts awhile back with 9 shanks and paddle points that cuts about 9 foot wide.This morning I changed out all the points to a sharp very curved chisel spike. The paddle points on the thing did an OK job but it wasn't the best and it was hard to pull. So after I got all...

Hi, I read a few posts and got some great info before I purchased this tiller so I thought I would let you know what I did to get it to work well with a cat 2 quick hitch. Also just picked up this disc and modified that also. On the tiller the main hitch plates were about .5 inches to narrow so...

What is the best ? The 3-point quick hitch or the pat's easy change system ? Is there any advantages that one system has over the other ?

I recently purchased a Harbor Freight Quick Hitch for my Kubota. I tried to hook up my Landpride backblade and it will not work. The centerlink hook will not fit far enough into the opening in my backblade to hook the crossbolt. I also find that it will not work with my Landpride rotary...

I used to have a Titan 2" square hitch receiver in my 3 point hitch most of the time for moving trailers and such. It's pretty handy and multi-purpose, since I welded on a "Hitchin Post" with a lawn trailer hitch eye, a set of hooks, and a 2" ball receiver (see triangle shape hitch photo). On...

Found an easy way to add a trailer ball to the quick hitch. Just bolted a scrap piece of 1/2" steel to the quick hitch, and drilled it for the ball. Works great for moving the trailer around the yard, just roll it all the way forward. It is out of the way when using the bucket or the forks.

It's time to get a Cat I quick hitch and I'm 85% of the way convinced I need one. What I want is something that works well, fits most of the stuff I have and is something I can just use without the bending and welding so often written about. User friendly is my motto and I'm trying to skip the...

Tractor Owners! Let us make your lives easier! I found the above listing on local CL search for "3-point", it looks like a good idea, but someone who wants it could easily make their own, if they can weld, cut, and drill. Also the text references an unlocking handlle on thr male component, but...

I want to get one of the quick hitch systems. I have a Kodiak rotary mower I bought new a year or so ago. Pretty sure it's qh compatible because there's another hole on the float to change the hook up. I just bought a new Kodiak rear blade yesterday with the same setup so it should be compatible...

Got my new 3pt quick hitch from Norther Tool and a draw bar receiver from Omni all put together. I needed to get extended length pins for my King Kutter box scraper and rotary cutter. I also added Speeco quick hitch pins on to reduce the slop when attached.

Took delivery today on an eMax 22 with FEL, quick hitch and blade.

I've read several threads that say the King Kutter tiller is not Quick Hitch compatible. Well, I don't know if it's just mine, but everything lined up fine. Had to loosen the back bolt and slide the collar back a touch but that is all it took. I guess we can dispel that myth now.

I have a b2733 quick hitch and broom,made by kubota for sale,$1600,anyone intrested????

Does anyone know if the kubota b2733 quick hitch will fit on a kubota b2650?Thanks in advance.

I just purchased a Harbor Freight Cat 1 Quick hitch. The bottom spread is 27 inches and my Country Line 60 inch rear blade is about 27 3/8 inches wide. It will not fit the quick hitch. According to the quick hitch manual the spread should be 27 1/2 inches. Has any-one else seen this? I am...

I just picked up a new KingKutter 2 60" tiller. Got it home, realized we hadn't loaded up the PTO shaft, went back got the shaft. Got home, unloaded the tiller threw on the quick hitch bushings & went to hitch it up. After a couple failed attempts to grab it with the quick hitch I got to...

Like the title says I bought a 5' grader blade and a cheap quick hitch today. Got them at Agri Supply in Valdosta Ga. I went with the intentions of buying their cheapest grader blade which they sell for $200. After looking at the difference in that and the $300 Kodiak model 10371, I bought the...

I have been kicking around an HF QH, but need some advice. Everything fits, except my KK rotary cutter, which is a bit too wide on the pins. I know I can move and reweld where the pins would be narrower, but that seems excessive just to get the 1/2" I need to adjust the fit. Question is this...

sometimes spending more money accomplishes nothing. We all know that, just hope it doesn't play out. Well....I read the articles here about quick hitches. I've played with the levers in Tractors Supply, looked at the Speeco, but the more I read about incompatibility the more I felt buying the...

Not to worry, because there is help with the quick hitch top adapter that they don't advertise on the harbor freight website. This solves the problem of the top hook being to short to attach to the top of your newer implements. I called this morning and bought part # 29309 (Hitch Adapter for For...

Considering Harbor Freight Quick Hitch. With the 25% off coupon I can afford the cost. I have a 2012 Kubota BX1860, but I think all BX models have the same size 3ph - right?? So far I only have one 3ph attachment - KK 4' box blade and it's a wrestling match getting it on and off the 3ph. If...

I just picked up a new in the box BX2711 quick hitch for my BX1500 from my local dealer. It was old stock and although I don't currently have a snow plow or snowblower for it yet, I couldn't pass it up for $200 cash complete with everything. If I remember correctly they were priced at $600 new.

The wife got me a early birthday present. Got them installed yesterday. Now I just need all this snow to melt so I can get to my box blade and try it out. Sent from my iPhone using TractorByNet

I bought a new LS XR4046HC, will pat's quick hitch fit on my telescoping arms ???

Thinking of ordering a pair of Cat 2 Pats Quick hitch system. Can I use a set of cat 2 bushings on my implement? Are the Pats sized to accept them? Just bought a used Hardee ditchcutter for my JD 4010. I've been told there is alot of pull on the outside arm on the cutting side and the...

Has anybody used Pats quick hitch on a JD 4010 or similar tractor? I just bought a Hardee ditchbank cutter and its not set up to accept a standard quick hitch. Its awfully tight in there to hook the arms up and any kind of quick hitch would make life alot less frustrating. Its a Cat 2 hook...

I own a bx 2230, I was thinking about installing a quick attach system to the 3 pt to switch between my rear blade, generator, ballast box etc. Has anybody tried using a chain binder LIke this one my grinding off the two hooks and the handle? I could use a piece of pipe to ratchet it down...

So i've searched via google the tractorbynet.com site for gannon HSD box scrapper reviews and separately for worksaver quick hitches with limited success. I've already ordered a 2nd position valve for my tractor as i assume i will need to add a Hydraulic top link, I would love to add TNT but...

To my surprise, my John Deere Cat 1 quick hitch PERFECTLY fits the pins that came on my MX8 rotary cutter!! The MX8 is advertised as a cat 2 or 3 cutter. It did, however, come with some interesting hitch pins, approximately 10" long, that allow it to be used with both cat 2 & 3 pins. The...

Hello All, I recently picked up a used JD quick hitch and 54 plow for my 425. The hitch and blade had sat outside for most of its life but it nice and straight with minor surface rust. Got it home and started taking the hitch apart to clean and replace parts as needed. The hoses are dry...

I have a Kubota B7500 and justed purchased a SpeeCo 3pt hitch cat1 quick hitch. 3-Point Cat. 1 Quick Hitch | Princess Auto I got it home and measured the spacing between centers on the upper link mount and the lower link mounts and it appears to be 18". The tractor measures 14" between the...

Who makes the subframe that fits kubota,MF,CNH, and probably others? The blades all look alike, the blowers and brooms look very similar. lt190b

I can pick up this quick hitch for 150 he says it is for cat 1...do you think its a good deal,what do they usually go for??? Thx guys

I would to try the pat's cat. 2 quick hitch on my 7' hyd. scraper blade and my 6' box blade, and it looks like it might be in a bind if I tilted the blade too far with the lift arms, or the box blade. I don't want to break them up the first time I use them. they look like they will work good on...

I have the Pats Easy Hitch on my TT45A and my son has been using it to blade snow with. Says the blade falls off on him as the springs are not holding the little lever in place over the pin or something. Anyway, would there be anything I would like less about going with a fixed speedy type...

Does anyone have any experience with the Landpride QH15 quick hitch? Will it fit with the telescoping lower lift arms? I have a Pat's easy change I removed from my L3400 but it will not fit on my new B2650 because of the telescoping arms. I asked my dealer and he said he has never even sold one...

Tomorrow, I intend on purchasing a JD 5075E cab with a MX-8 rotary cutter. I already have several category 1 attachments such as a disk, fertilizer spreader and box blade that are equipped with the collars to accept the category 1 JD I-match quick hitch (from my previous tractor) that I will be...

I recently purchased a HF quick hitch, mounted it with great anticipation, and discovered that it is about 4" too wide for all four of my Category 1 implements (two of which are newer Kodiak implements). I did some research on TBN to determine the HF model I should purchase, and bought that...

I have one of the cheaper Cat 1 quick hitches that I picked up at my local Rural King. From looking at pictures, pretty sure it is very similar to the one HF sells. (different decal?) When I use the Cat 3 adapters, they fit snugly into the lower hooks but the latch that pops out is quite a...

Hello, I'm looking for the model number of a Kubota style quick hitch ( pin, not SSQA) to fit a LA482 loader. Thanks, Dan

In a search for a quick hitch assembly, I'm finding these two part numbers. I have a very foggy memory of the BX1500 having the smaller hitch and that it wasn't compatible with the newer, larger BXs. Does anyone know the differences, if any, between these two quick hitches and their...

Just throwing out a question,,I have a deere Imatch hitch, using cat 1 attachments, rather than install bushings, any prob with making a half shell set and cementing them to the hitch?

First of all let me thank all those who post at tractorbynet. Information from this site has proven invaluable to me on numerous occasions since I moved to the country earlier this year. I own a Kubota 3430 with the LA723 loader with a quick hitch bucket. I need forks and would like to buy the...

I know there has and is much discussion regarding the merits of various quick hitches but I was curious as to the HP if the tractors you are using them on.

I was considering getting a quick hitch but am debating on the pat's system or the full quick hitch. I see the major difference would be that Pat's does not allow for the top link and the other 3 pt quicks do, and they seem more solid with the complete frame. Any real advantages or...

Before I go and buy a new one does anybody have a front quick hitch for a kubota b2620. I think the model number is B2733A. I'm in southern NY. Thanks!

Howdy! HEY! I purchased a quick-hitch from Harbor Freight. Works fine for SOME of my attachments. I have a blanket harrow, rototiller, grader blade and small ditcher I use on a Kioti CK35. Problem I have run into is the heighth of the top on the quick hitch. It is about 18" high from the...

I decided to take a chance on a Cat. 2 quick hitch from Northern Tool. NorTrac Three-Point Quick Hitch Category 2 | 3-Point Hitch Adapters| Northern Tool + Equipment $149.99, if it was junk no big deal, I printed out the web page and went to the local store and they had to order it. $54.18...

Has anyone mounted a gooseneck ball to the their quick hitch? I have a 3PH trailer mover with a gooseneck ball on it. I was thinking about mounting a gooseneck to the quick hitch that would be out of the way of implements and have the trailer hooked 10" closer to the tractor. Any ideas?

Had some cutting to do today so shot some video hooking/unhooking. The standards were that I hooked a separate brush cutter to two different tractors and moved to a relatively flat area. Set the cutter on blocks, unhooked the tractor and moved it forward 8-10 feet. Then started the video...

Someone locally is selling a 1025r quick hitch and blade. Will it fit my 2305? I know the blade will fit but its the hitch I need help with. I already have a 47 blower and52 broom which I use on my other tractor. Any help would be great. Thanks

I thought this was interesting. Tow Your Own Bruce

If I were to put a quick hitch and a hydraulic ram top link, will I still be able to hook up to any implement ? I have a box blade bush hog scraper blade and an auger, I'm guessing I'll have to make adjustments to my attachments to fit the quick hitch ?

Finally got my quick hitch yesterday (Ended up getting the NorTrack from Northern Tool) & I'm having some issues. My Land Pride blade & King Kutter box blade are both advertised as being quick hitch compatible (Land Pride even has a quick hitch sticker just below the top pin), but won't quite...

So i just went an bought a 54" snowblower for my 2320 but i keep thinking how i cant then put the loader on quick if i need it without pulling the quick hitch off. I was thinking, the ONLY thing preventing the install of both at the same time is the "stand" on the loader correct?? or am I...

for non-compatible implements. Made from 2 1/2 by 3/8 steel, hole spacing to suit. Used it for 2 years on a HF hitch. Bruce PS One bar was reversed when I put it on for the photo :)

I have a cat 2 tractor and just purchased a speeco cat 2 quick hitch. I also have several cat 1 implements: bush hog, box scraper blade and tiller. Given that the cat 2 quick hitch is wider than the cat 1 implements, do they make an adapter (i.e. longer pins) that I can put on my cat 1...

Is there any decent reason to get a 3pt quick hitch other than the cheap one from Harbor Freight? I've seen a bit of complaining about, but can't tell if it's just implements that would have issues with any quick hitch, or actual issues that would make it worth thinking about paying a couple...

All of my implements (except the grapple), I have bought used. Hopefully this was a good deal, it's a quick hitch. Paid $85, and hope it will be good for those heavy 3 point implements. Bought from an "old timer", who told me it's a back saver. What do you think?

I am looking at purchasing a John Deere power broom which includes the quick hitch set up, its is off a 2305 what parts should be included in the sale to make this set up work on my 2305? Thanks John

Hey everyone, I just got myself a Front Quick Hitch for my 2320. I am going to build a blade for it then later on maybe a blower since I also got the drive shafts. I am in the designing stage right now should be starting to build in a week or two. It going to be similar to the blade I build...

Question for those of you that utilize one of the "quick hitch" systems....Is it worth changing over ? If you don't mind, some pro's/con's ? I have a Mahindra 4035, considering a swap to some sort of "quick hitch"...50 year old, bad back, tractor prim use is bush hogging, food plot maint, and...

I've waited way too long to get a quick hitch on my Kubota and asked the dealer what a Kubota quick hitch would cost. The quote was something in the mid 400's or at least twice what I expected. I use mostly Land Pride equipment. Tractor Supply has them, ETA has them, and of course Pat's hitch...

I was thinking about purchasing Pat's Quick Hitch arm ends for my 4047. If anybody here has them on their 4041/4047 I was wondering if any grinding was necessary to get them to fit?

Just a re-cap first... I went though the teething process like so many others, first getting the hitch that was too narrow, then getting the correct one, then setting up all of my equipment to be quick hitch compatible, then trading up to a larger tractor (from an L3240 to an L5740). I've been...

Does anyone have any ideas on a good quick hitch for a Kubota bx 25. Thanks

How put together does this thing come? The only way I can get a decent price on the quick hitch and 54'' blade is if I completely assemble it myself. I am wondering if it is a PIA or an easy installation? The lock out valve and the hydraulic angling kit would also have to be installed. I am a...

I have a Daedong and need to know how to make the changing of implements faster:):

I haven't found the right combination for the Bush Hog top link and HF quick hitch yet. I've tried raising and lowering the QH and not satisfied yet, any suggestions?

With all the talk of quick hitch setups on this forum, and all the happy owners out there, I'm starting to contemplate the idea of purchasing a quick hitch setup. I really enjoy the 'convenience' factor of certain things, and I think I'd really like a quick hitch. My question is: Can I...

I have 40 hours on my L4600 HST. Because I'm mostly a one man operation I got a Rankin Quick Hitch from the dealer that sold me my Kubota. It installed easily but after 18 hours of use the top bolt for the upper hook sheared off. It came with two bolts and the remaining one was half way...

bought a cat 1 harbor freight quick hitch today. What size adpaters do I need for lower pins for my implements. I read conflicting statements. Is it cat1 to cat 2 adpaters or is it cat 1 to cat 3? they look to be cat 3 size hooks but who knows

I own a BX25 and have used a 60" rear blade with a rubber edge added for snow removal. I do about 8 - 10 driveways in my area and looking back all the time is a real pain (literally). I was recently given a 60" front blade off an old willys jeep. I am looking for ideas and opinions on how to...

First time post. I'm looking for specs on building a cat III quick hitch.

Anyone using the iMatch with the Deere ballast box? I called my two local dealers to check prices and the second one told me that the ballast box extension was required when using the iMatch. I've looked at the extension kit and can't figure out why it would be considered necessary. Ideas? When...

Anyone have this setup? Seems the top center pin is recessed too far back to hook up properly. I assumed most newer three point implements would not be a problem. Is there an adapter I can use? Anyone else run into this?

I just bought a 47 quick hitch snowblower from a private seller and need the drive shaft from the tractor to the snowblower. What JD part no. do I need for this PTO shaft? I really appreciate your help. I hope I won't need it this year. Thanks.

My local dealer has quoted me $1,650 for the quick hitch, hydraulic angling kit, and 54 inch blade for my 2012 X740. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't $1,650 seem a little high? That price is not assembled, just in boxes. Unfortunately, prices in Canada are always higher than U.S, but I would...

I thought I saw a thread on this somewhere, what size bushing does a guy need to take up the play in your implement top link pin when you have a quick hitch? Its a catagory 1 quick hitch. Where is a good place to get them at? Thanks.

Anyone owning a land pride quick hitch. Can you tell me if your hitch came with one set of cat 1 to cat3 bushings. Thanks for your time.:)

Quick hitch is Harbor Freight which works well with my Blade and ballast box. Want to add a landscape rake. In looking at the King Kutter, it appears that the top link hook would hook the bolt which has a bushing on it rather than the pin since there is no room between the pin and the bolt. Am I...

A friend of mine wanted me to build him a skid steer quick attach. Unfortunately the SSQA is a little to big for his machine. So I built a pin on style. Also added a 2" receiver to the cross beam. It works perfect but if I was to build another one I would make the top hook 7/8" instead of 3/4"...
