Quick Hitches Homier (FarmPro) Quick Hitch

[jjcc246]

Went to two Homier road shows the past two weeks looking for the Quick Hitch. The second show had one and after checking it out (Metal, Welds, Springs, Levers) didn't look all that bad. Box was marked $119.00 but the brochure listed it as $99.00. The box was missing the adapter yoke and the two bushings for the implement (suprised for Homier) (chuckle). Well the manager at the show finally agreed that they should be in the box and I had him sign the back of the receipt that they were missing. Called the Homier toll-free number and after a 45 minute wait did actually talk to a human being. They assured me that the would ship the parts out immediatly after receiving an e-mail from me with scanned copies of the receipt. So far I'm a pretty happy camper. Now I know that the Tractor Supply Store does carry the missing parts, but it's principle. They should be in the box as stated on the box. I'll run a couple of pictures in the next couple of posts. The Hitch went on in less than 3 minutes and just to try it out (without the bushings) I backed up to my KK 6' BB and my 5' ford rotory cutter and in less than 5 seconds I was hooked up. Of course on the rotary you stiill have to hook the shaft up. You can still adjust your top tilt by turning the screw (hydraulics would be nice) but what a back saver. I'll keep everybody posted if i have any problems but so far so good. By the way I'm using this on a TC 30.

Thanks for the report and pictures jj; I've been looking at these also. You got a good price - last time I checked at TSC they wanted almost $200 for the Speeco variety.

I bought one from them on e-bay and have been very happy with it.

My father has had one of these FarmPro quick hitches on his Kubota L3710 for about 6 months and has been very pleased with it. I tried for years to get him to buy a quick hitch and he wouldn't listen, but when he stumbled across one of these at a tent sale for $99 he decided to gamble on it. He has only used it with a 5 ft bush hog, but he used to leave the bush hog on all the time and now he takes it on and off as needed. Overall I would say these quick hitches offer a lot of bang for the buck, especially on a <45 hp CUT. Larger than that and I would be concerned with the possibility for damage, though I have no evidence to back up this concern.
