Delta Hitch systems

BlacknTan · Jun 3, 2007

I've done alot of research on the various Quick Hitch systems, and found, for myself at least, no good answers. All the I-Match type systems, IMO, are flawed in their ability to attach universally to implements.
The Delta system however, while a bit more expensive, seems to solve all the problems. I'd have to dig deeper initially, but, after the cost is forgotten, I'll still have a supremely useful systen with no apparent drawbacks..

I'd like to hear comments from those that have used these systems. Either positive or negative..

Thanks in advance...

I have never known anyone w/a Delta but there are quite a few in my area, (myself included) that run this set-up Farm Tractors, Parts, Equipment, Tools and Hitch Systems. Jacksonville, FL.
Once you get a fast hitch set-up no matter what the brand you'll never want to bother hooking up a 3 point again...ever.

Those type of quick hitches are probably the best, once you get them set up. The downside is the relatively high cost of a mounting plate for each attachment. I have 9 different 3 pt attachments and it is just way too expensive. My speeco quick hitch with the adapter to replace the hook if needed, will fit all of them. The hook will work on 3 of them.
I went to an auction last year with the Delta/Jiffy quick style hitch. Each implement mounting piece was nearly $200 and each tractor mounting plate was over $200. They were in very good shape but still used. I don't know what they cost new.

I was hoping your post would get more activity. I too am looking at Delta. I emailed them over the weekend and no reply as of yet. I have a M6040 Kubota, Woods BB840 Armstrong HBB7 boxblade Woods SGT88 tiller waiting for ATI to send the 4in1 bucket. Would love a Quick Hitch that will match up to all this at any price!

Anyone else notice this: Claw Hitch

It's basically a speeco system that is hydraulically adjusted to fit different implements. Looks interesting, but heavy.

Most people are not going to absorb the initial cost of the quick hitch system if they don't spend a lot of time hooking and unhooking implements. In my case I have 7 or 8 pieces of eq that I use regularly enough that the situation warrants me having a fast hitch female hitch on every one of them. If you only have 1 or 2 pieces whats the point? But like I said, once you have it you'll never do w/out it.

ahvatsa,
I was hoping for more responses also!

Daddy Rabbit,
I consider a Jiffy system a "Delta" system. While not by name, by type, due to it's triangular delta shape.

I'm interested in experiences with all the triangular shaped "quick hitch" systems..
