Harbor Freight 3-point quick hitch

[kentrodngun]

The adapter can be ordered online by selecting the option to order from the catalog (on the column on the left side of the window) and enter the number 29309-0vga. It comes up and you can order it then.

Good luck

Tried it about 6 or 8 times without any luck. I'll wait until Aug 4. Thanks for the stock number though .

On a side note, I received a Packet from HF. It stated that because I was a great customer, they awarded me 9,000 points.
They also enclosed a brochure with which I could pick out various "gifts".
There were some good looking gifts and I could choose up to twelve.
I was very unpressed. I do spend a fair amount with HF.
I started getting bills from different companies. And found out now, that each gift was "outsourced" and each company was billing me for shipping at about 8 dollars each, and they now have me on their mailing list.
So BEWARE. Its sad that Harbor Freight has stooped this low. But they have. In the brochure, If one is lucky enough to have reading glasses it tells of the charges. But in SO SO SMALL print.
I don't mind the junk mail . I use it to heat this winter.
Anyone else get caught by this??

Finally got my gloves last week. Soon as I found them I quit looking. I hope I didn't throw away a duffle bag. Thanks for the heads up on the "free" gifts.

I originally ordered a quick hitch on May 16th and sent that one back because of quality and the size problem. The replacement was backordered but was delivered yesterday. This one looks much better made and the measurements check out.

Now I have to figure out how to adapt my older implements. I will probably have to use the top link kit for a couple.

I ordered my adapter yesterday. No mention of a backorder.

Got mine in about a week ago, but then took off for vacation. Today was the first oppurtunity to mess with it. It seems very well built (considering the price). It will fit my ancient rusty brushog after I finish moving the 3 point uppers toward the inside. This gives me about 1" of clearance, which is just barely enough. The top link will not work, but I will make a adapter. The homier boxblade will also require moving the arms toward the inside to make it narrow enough, and again the toplink will not fit but I will use my homemade adapter. My homemade rake, backblade combo will require some modifications. I guess I must have modeled it after a cat 0 or something. It is to small. I will add some width to get the spacing right.
I think that these are all issues that I would be having with any of the quick hitches thou, I will say that the wait was really long. My wife bought it for me for fathers day, and I belief she placed the order sometime in May but I do not know for sure.
Overall Pleased, and I think that with a little setup initially, it will save one heck of alot of time and frustration.

I got my quick hitch about a week ago. Not bad. I only have three implements right now (backhoe, dump bucket and bush hog). The backhoe is obviously not a candidate for this - mostly wanted it to switch between the dump bucket and the mower - I get tired of pulling and tugging on that mower to line it up.

So the hitch works great on the mower - no problems at all. The dump bucket support frame was in the way below the lower two pins. I used some steel I had laying around and created two flat plates that I bolted in where the original pins were. I then installed the pins on the other end of the plate - this effectively moves the pins about 3 inches closer to the tractor and away from the frame that was a problem. Works great. For the toplink, I can't just pick up and go - have to loosen the toplink to extend it into place and then drop a pin in. Still much easier than trying to move an implement or the tractor around so the arms meet the pin.

So I am pretty satisfied - especially given the price.

All,
I got my hitch the other day. I wanted to post that I had zero issues mounting this to my JD 2305. Everything lined up fine and it slid right on. Just thought I would put this out there in case someone was condsidering it for a 2305.

Enjoy!

I FINALLY got mine that was ordered in May. Haven't had a chance to unbox it yet, but I plan to this week. I only have 3 implements that I will use it on right now, and I will modify them to work with it as is. At least that's the plan right now.
