Harbor Freight 3-point quick hitch

stumpfield · Sep 14, 2006

This is a loooooooooooong thread.... I got mine yesterday at a Harbor Freight store. I ask the manager to let me open the box and measure the inside width. They all measured 1 5/8". So I bought 2. One for me and one for a buddy.

Ordered mine Aug 29 and recieved it today Sept 15. It was on B/O for a short time then shipped. I am not usually a fan of Harbor Freight for tools, but for 69.99 and 8.99 shipping this thing seems like a good deal. It fit on my tractor with no problem and fit all my implements after the initial setup. I think that H/F finally got a good shipment from their supplier.

How wide is the space between the lift arms on the hitches being sent to you by Harbor Freight? The one I looked at is 26 inches and will have to be spread about an inch to work on my frontier box blade.
Thanks, John

I got my adapter last week and the hitch yesterday. I did have to spread the bottom about 1/2" (no problem) I then tried hooking up to my boxblade and bush hog ... well neither would work without the adapter, but once I put that on, it worked great. I can even hook up the top without getting off the tractor! I also have a 24" pond scoop and did not try that, but I don't think it's gonna work on that one.

Well after looking through all of the posts I went ahead and ordered the 3pt. quick connect from HF. I found several coupons for HF on an earlier post Harbor Freight Coupon Code Numbers For Free Stuff.
I got a free attache case and $5.00 off. From what I'm reading, it's worth the money.

I received my adapter and finally had a chance to try it out. It is real easy to hook up now. Just what I wanted. I would say it's tough to beat this for the money. We'll see how it holds up but, so far, I'm very pleased.

I want my ADAPTER!!!

That is the only drawback to my hitch. I used it a bunch yesterday and it was much easier than the old pain in the butt that it was to get the implement lined up with and hooked into the holes on the lower 3 point arms but the disc came off the upper hook several times.

I may try to make one out of some old toplink parts if it doesn't ship soon.

Yep that was exactly what I did, made one with some scrap and an old top link. BTW been working great for over a month.

Just received my new Harbor Freight flyer today and see that the hitch is now available in the stores. The price is the same 69.95 sale price. Just my luck I waited over two weeks for b/o and shipping and now I could have got it a their local store. By the way I live within 15 miles of two stores.

I recently received my HF quick hitch and have gotten it to work on several of my implements sucessfully. Not bad for $69 and a $5 rebate and gift of 3 aviation snips. I picked up a set of "long" pins at Tractor Supply to make it work with my snowblower (see photo) as it needed wider support.
