Harbor Freight 3-point quick hitch

[miketheDrummer]

I happen also, to have one on order...Been on BO for several weeks now. (or is that months?) I have looked into the downloadable manual & seen the adapter. This thing looks very buildable in a home shop..Especially one with welding capabilty. I understand all your frustrations in the usability area, but as one poster said..Many things need adaptations for use! If mine ever a rrives, I plan to use it as best I can, I will build my own adapter. I know it will take me more than $10 worth of time & electricity, but I will have it NOW! Also, it will fit ALL my uses! I also plan to rework my newly arrived (used, gray) Yanmar tiller to have a modern 24" pin spacing. Then ALL my impliments will fit! All you need to do is spend the time ONCE to make it all fit, then it's gravy.

Got the postcard that my adapter was back ordered a week or so ago. still waiting. I unboxed the hitch (second) time.Attempted to see if I could somehow make it work.The bottom connectors worked great. But then I went to the next implement, and found that it would be 1 inch or so too narrow to grab the pins.
I re boxed it. It sat for a day or so until I decided take it to the PO. When I get the adapter, it will be OK . I'm sure Ill find another use for it.
I have another order with HF ready now.For misc other stuff.
I don't regret getting this, Its the first really unusable thing I got from them.
As for my friend who also got one. He has more troubles with it and is going to just keep it for junk . I'm sure he will makes something of it later on.
Looking forward to hear how others are doing with theirs.They must be selling , for there to be so much

If I can't use it on the 3 point I plan on welding a QA adapter to it for using on the fel - -- I want to build a boom pole - but I want to be able to use it on both the front & rear of the tractor so I figure this will be an easy way to adapt it for the fel. Maybe not the cheapest - but easiest. ... oh and I got the gloves right away and a BO slip just after.

It has been one month since ordered the quick hitch and it is still on backorder. Anyone else been waiting this long?

Cancelled my long overdue hitch,kept the free gloves.They seem to work.

Yep, I waited almost two months for the hitch. I now wait for the adapter which is not only back ordered as the postcard says, but I cant even get the number to track it. Maybe christmas...
hang in there you will get it, I used to check the charge acct, they only bill when they ship it
Patience with HF>>.

I don't have HF quick hitch but one that looks exactly the same made by Land Pride. Have been pleased w speed difference in changing 3pt stuff. Do need to make adjustments to top but otherwise much faster. BTW one additional use for quick hitch. Great for hauling logs without dragging whole log on ground. Straddle log w quick hitch - lower quick hitch - chain or rope around big end of log - raise quick hitch and haul away. I've been clearing 5 acres this way and have minimal damage to ground. Cheap low impact logging.
