Blade scrapers with quick hitch compatiblity?

My QH15 works perfectly on my EA landscape rake.

I have Pat's quick hitches on my 3000 and 3910. Proven performer. Lots of sellers. If you decide on such, ensure that you get the spacer bar WITH your hitch purchase......some suppliers sell the hitches without it and charge for it as an extra..... Pat's adapts to any dimension 3 pt, is extremely easy and fast to engage implement, set the top link to the desired length and away you go. Matters not the dimensions of your selected implement and my implements ALL seem to have different dimensions.

One neat thing about them is that you can have tight chains on your lift arms, like came on older Fords, MFs, and others and don't have to undo them, or have sloppy chains to get the lift arm wide enough to fit over the end of the implement pin....you just back up to the implement, set the width with the width bar, back up to the implement pushing against it to like up the pins side to side, lift, the locks engage automatically, let it down, connect and set the top link, REMOVE your spacer bar, hook up you PTO if equipped and be on your way.

Are they the same?

I have no idea.

I image that most all QH's are pretty much the same dimensionally, but (I think) the top hook can vary some in the width/depth of the "U" than forms the hook from brand to brand.

Good info. Thanks!

I'll ask EA if the top links are the same on the blade and rake.

Is it a new model? I ask because they specifically say on their EA blade site: "Now compatible with quick hitches" so presumably, the earlier models weren't.

My Speeco is a battle with pretty much everything I have..some have to use the hook others have to use the adapter..

I suggest altering the attachment rather than the QH to resolve problems. By doing so you will encourage a standard within your equipment.

Can be easy, can be hard, can be a massive PITA to modify implements.

But, it's what I did and I thank myself every day I use my implements. The whole point of Quick Hitch is the Quick.

I agree. I've not removed the QH from my Kubota since I installed it.

I certainly wasn't questioning your method. Simply saying altering the QH might make it unfriendly when hitching to an implement that is manufactured with usable QH capabilities.

Same here 3 tractors, 3 brands of QH. Who knows maybe all made by same overseas company. 1st QH was a speedco, wouldn't work with Land Pride blade, bottom hooks 1/4" to close. Took 2 - 10ton hydraulic jacks base to base and spread hooks 3/8" further. Ended up about 1/4" with jacks removed. Only other QH mods, angle grinder to remove paint slightly widen top hook (use top hook pin with cat1/2 and cat2/3 top hook bushings for no slop fit on top hook)

Have you contacted Everything Attachments?
Their 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blade is a wonderful piece of equipment, and may be a bit less costly than the Land Pride.

A little late, but thanks so much for your advice!

I bought an EA 6 blade and drove up to pick it up at their factory.

I am very impressed with the quality, which is comparable to my old Bush Hog brand blade (which says a lot).

And like you said, the price was about the same as the the Land Pride blade - which wouldn't have done the jobs I needed in the first place (ditch/swale/driveway maintenance). It's a far superior blade for what I need. I am really glad I hesitated before investing in the Land Pride blade and consulted this forum. EA was a real discovery for me.

I still have a Land Pride box scraper, which is very useful for my landscaping projects. Right now, I need both. But the scraper is a long term thing.
