EZ-HITCH

[gordyy]

got mine in today thanks jerome outstanding attacment idea
and welded on the top you can still use the swivel eyes if you so desire (not sure what the desire would be but its there)

Installed mine today and let me tell you, Jerome's system makes hooking up implements slicker'n snot. I am one Happy Camper!!!


Thanks, Jerome.


I think I may just have to order another set for my old JD 750!!!

I sure like the concept. Will these work on the lower bars that have the slide outs on them? My TT45A has the slideouts. I am having a problem with my brush cutter hitting my rear tires too so it would be nice if they had one that would increase the distance to the implement for me.

 

[EZ-HITCH]

We can make them for the telescoping arms and we can make them where they would extend the length of your arms if you like. Or we can make extenders for the implement since its the only one you are having problems with. It's better to keep the arms as short as possible.

Happened across this several month old thread and it got me interested in the EZ-Hitch product as a possible quick hitch solution. Anyway, none of the links to carterandsonsllc.com works nor does a google search bring up any valid links. Looks like Jeromes last post was the one above mine. Anyone know what happened to the EZ-Hitch product and carterandsonsllc? I hope they were not another casualty of this economic contraction.

Your right all my links show that the page isnt avaliable anymore. I wonder if they are one of the recient fatalities of the economy?I liked the concept they had of the hitch, They were even willing to seel just the 'J' part for weld on ..
Hopefully someone will have to info..

Yes it is... NICE.. I just wish it had an estimate shipping . So you dont have to type everythign in and then find the shipping is too much.Alot of sites do it this way..

I sure like mine, be sure to use the little gray spacers to take the "slop" out of the connection. I dont remember the shipping cost.. but I dont think it was much.

I wonder if you could just cut a worn ball out and weld the EZ hitch J hook on in the same postion as the factory ball?

 

[chopped]

I would assume you could replace the worn ball with one. Some people have welded then on the arm just above the ball. This way you can used either point of attachment.Speaking of balls I have seen replacement ones. But what holds them in after the metal around the ball is taken off. I was assuming a huge washer of some sort.?

I have an older system, that I think was also called EZ-Hitch, which has a couple of spring-loaded pieces that swing over the bars to keep the attachment on. You have to swivel a pin in the back to keep the slider open to drop the attachment. The system has served me well, but after several years of spreading salted sand from my Herd spreader, the parts have become really rusted and a bear to move. Started surfing around to see if I could find replacements and came back to TBN (it's been a while), which is where I discovered the original system. So, after watching the videos on Jerome's site, I just ordered THIS EZ-Hitch set. Much simpler and more elegant design, if you can use such a word regarding tractors. Can't wait to get them and 'upgrade' my B7800. Thanks, folks, for the info!

I got a set of these several years ago. I LOVE THEM! Sure makes it easier on an old man to hook up things and in a hurry too...:thumbsup:

 

[lcrans]

Hope all you guys are right.....I just ordered a set....!

 

[TigerfaninAR]

I ordered these hitches last year without the spreader bar and it was still a pain to get lined up. Finally got the spreader bar this weekend and feel like an idiot for not getting it to begin with. Hooked up to the boxblade in about 60 sec which used to take 15 min of wrestling.

I just received my EZ-Hitch and it seems to work exactly as advertized. My only issue with Carter and Sons is the use of the USPS for their shipping option. To pay $30 for shipping and handling and not be able to get tracking information is unacceptable.

Not so quick! :^) It should be noted that for Canadians USPS is FAR better. There is a reciprocal deal between the USPS and Canada Post. Neither charges brokerage fees when the other delivers to the border. These can be a significant if using UPS or FedEx. So while I can not comment on US deliveries, I can state emphatically for Canadians USPS is a FAR better option. Just my two cents - or $40 brokerage fees as it may be. :^)
