Bucket Hooks Got new EZ Hooks!

[TrippleT]

Since it has been so hot here I decided to go ahead and get a set of EZ Hooks. I can honestly say that I wish I had gotten them a long time ago.
I took them out of the box and they fit perfectly no problems at all. Hooked on the 72in finish mower and away I went. I decided today to use the brush cutter which was down on the lower back of the yard with weeds grown up all around.
I took the finish mower off and went into the weeds and backed right up to the cutter and it was the easiest hook up I ever have made.
If you want something that works, and is easy to install, with no adjustments at all, the EZ Hooks are THE way to go.
In my case, it was very hot and not only that I was somewhat apprehensive since the weeds were so high. Thought there might be a sneaky snake there, or yellow jackets.
Either one is not a good option in the hot weather we have here at the moment. But with the EZ Hooks it was over so fast I wondered if my mind was playing tricks in the heat.
Actually, it was a very speedy hookup, and they sure worked well. I mowed in weeds and grass that was very high. I am not trying to knock anyone elses product, because I have not had any experience with them. But one thing I know the EZ Hooks are a real nice tool for your tractor. Mr. Carter is very courteous, and seems willing to help in any way he can.
These are the pictures I am posting to show them on the tractor.

I can see that they are useful in numerous applications.

However, they wouldn't work for me because they sit on top of the regular hitch point, thus making a wider/taller connection point. I have a hay fork where that area is a constrained distance from top to bottom. The lift arm must slide into the right spot,then a pin be inserted from the side. There is a load bearing/supporting member that would get in the way on top and one underneath that prevents lowering the arm.

Pat's system works for all my implements, including the hay fork.

So, I'd just say to check all attachments, current and possible, that you have to assure that it will fit on all of them.

Tony,

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad to hear that EZ-HITCH has made life easier on you. I can't think of anyone who has purchased a set that did not feel the same way!

One minor correction, the product is called EZ-HITCH not EZ-HOOKS

how about sending us a link to the website ?

I am sorry for the missname there EZ Hitch IS the name. I guess I was thinking about the way they attach to the implement. Must have been a Freudian slip there. LOL At any rate they are sure nice! I will just reiterate that I am well pleased. And I am almost certain that because I didn't have them I had a torn rotator cuff about a year ago from trying to wrestle a heavy mower and thread it through the hole on the lift arm even though the tractor has extendable arms. And I had forgotten to point out that there is a nice web site with a video, so that you can see for yourself about the ease of hitching to an implement.

It looks like the picture of TrippleT's "EZ Hooks" are different from the ones pictured in your ads. Those in the ad appear to be milled from a solid block where TrippletTs seem to be made from steel rods welded on a plate.
Did you change the way they are made?

Very observant crash!!

The set that I sent to Tony are different then what we are currently selling. The set I sent Tony are made of round steel that is keyed and welded into a piece of steel that was then welded to the standard bottom. We thought this way would be faster, but it was not. The basic concept is the same in both designs, we just decided to stick with the milled "J-HOOK". I spoke with Tony before shipping them to him and he agreed to accept the other design, we will warranty them both the same. Which by the way is.... if you ever have a problem with them just let me know and we will correct it.

I also have just purchased a set of Carter's hitches and am well pleased. They sure have speeded up the attachment procedure and improved my vocabulary considerably. They are well made and should last several lifetimes, and I might add, that support and communication from Mr. Carter has been superb. The EZ-hitches will definitely make life easier for anyone using them.

Is it just the 'opening' on the tubing that keeps them from rotating on the main pin?

 

[TrippleT]

Yes, the tube is a snug fit on mine but fits perfect. So there isn't much rocking at all. I think that would keep from deformity as well. I really like these EZ Hitches.
