Quick Hitches Does Quick Hitches Compromise Lift Capacity?

   / Does Quick Hitches Compromise Lift Capacity? #21  
Ya ruffled mine, I ain't giving up my QH. And definitely no money wasted :)

I always thought for HD constant ground contact implement use, a QH wouldn't be the best way to go, But I guess what your saying is they're more suited to the big stuff.

JB.

When you have a 200hp tractor and an implement that weighs five tons, it would be hard for one person to manhandle the implement when attaching it to the tractor. Those tractors have seemingly unlimited lift capacity, and and a jumbo size QH. is not going to be noticed.

My 72" box blade with the leveling board attached, quite often loads up with dirt that won't fall out. Picking it up loaded is about all my 1910 Ford will do. With a QH. installed the Ford would not lift the box blade. Plus when turning, the implement swings out wider which doesn't help.

I rather pretend to be an operator, even if it is only a figment of my imagination.
