Harbor Freight 3-point quick hitch

[Charlesaf3]

The Harbor Freight hitches are in. I ordered one on Sept. 19th for my BX23 and was told they would be on BO until Nov. 24th. Checked today and my hitch shipped on Tuesday, Oct. 24th. ETA here in Massachusetts on 11/2.

Arggh! I reordered them after the 24, but was told they were out of stock.

As a fellow resident of taxachusetts, I'd be happy to store yours for you over the winter

I ordered mine on 09/28/06, My CC hit last week so I assume mine has shipped also. I have already recieved my adapter and tin snips.

Hi All!

Mine just came today. It had been on BO for several weeks. It fit over the lower hitch :eyeballs" without a glitch. It also seems to fit my bush hog fine.

Only problem is my new box blade has the hitch pins at 28 inches apart and thay are too narrow to fit in the hooks.. I am going to make the pins fully captured by adding two outboard straps and then use two 8 inch long bolts or rods for lower pins. This should work fine.

I also had to order an 18" adjustable top rod for the thing. Hoye Tractor had one for only $16.95 so I ordered it.

I'll let y'all know how it works out when finished.

Arggh! I called again and they are still on backorder. The woman on the phone was unswayed by the logic that other people were getting theirs now.

Mine arrived today - one day early. Fifteen minutes later it was on the tractor with no modifications necessary.
Charles - thanks for your kind offer to store the hitch for the winter, but I found a great place for it. See pic.

Does anyone know if I will need to order the adapter for a Kubota BX23 with King Kutter XB impliments? I have the XB box scraper, XB landscape rake & the XB sub soiler/middle buster combo.

Thanks
Ken

It seems that the spacing problems that plagued this hitch in the past year has been addressed.Either someone in the production phase discovered the flaw, or the from the feedback from HF and the people ,like myself and other posters who returned it. This is a good thing.

If I were to purchase one today, I think I would get the adapter, for the 16 dollars you cant go wrong. Expecially if you ended up like me with the unit and then had to spend 16 dollars and shipping of 7.50 for the adapter.
Actually if you didnt need the adapter, they would except it as a return. with a prepaid return label you can request online.
Glad people are happy with them ..

Ordered mine in early September and it arrived yesterday. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

I went online at Harbor freight to order the quick hitch & adaptor, but I can't seem to find the adapter. Does anyone have the order # for it? The one listed in an earlier post did not work (29309-0vga from printed catalog).
