Introducing... The Delta Hook Rapid Hitch System

[Charlesaf3]

THat would be a lot easier - the plates aren't that bad to put on in truth, no worse, and in fact easier, than putting on an attachment, but a third hand would make things a lot easier.

I think I'm going to love the system, but am taking the oppty to do a whole bunch of minor tractor maintenance, so still no real review.

Strikes me the implements are easier to get on and off if left on flat land? And I've mounted the implement side plates as high as possible, seems to make life easier.

I wanted to make sure everyone saw our new website at DeltaHook - The 3-point tractor hitch technology. There are a several new features along with some cost justification information as well as dealer and customer testimonials.

I am going back to the states n September and was thinking that perhaps I would pay the extra luggage charge and bring this system back with me as a surprise present for my husband. I would suggest improvements to your website. I went to look at the video again ot refresh my memory on how great this thing is but there is no long a video on your website. Then a most critical piece of information that is missing is the weight. It seems to me like you need to work on a page like technical specifications or something similar. I need to know the weights of the products. In September and October I have 4 people coming to France fromt he USA. I was thinking I could have each of them bring a piece but I need to know the weights. The internet nowdays is your showroom to the world I will bet that virtually everyone checks out the manufacturers website before purchasing anything of value. I would urge you to invest more time in your website. A lack of information makes me not want to buy your good product. When spending my money trust me I want more information not less.

When you click the link to his site the large picture you see right off the bat is the video. Look at the bottom of the picture and you will see the player controls.

Rox, I don't think they come here much so they probably won't get your message. You should email it to them (see their webpage), along with your questions...or call them. Nice people.

You still having problems finding that video huh It's still there

If I were you Robert, I'd call and find out if the Cat-2 would be able to hook up to a Cat-1 recevier. That way, as you said, the Cat-2 tractor would be able to use all of the implements and the smaller tractor would still be using the cat-1 implements.

I checked with the company and the cat 1 and cat 2 systems will not work with one another, gotta go with one or the other.

Curly and charles, I would love to hear what you think so far as I'm looking at getting a delta hook for my 5740. Thanks!

Really liking it so far. Makes life a LOT easier - equivalent to QA on the FEL.

You NEED a hydro top link to my mind with it though. Doable without, but makes life harder. Think of how you tilt the QA to get it into a QA bucket.

I went with reinforced Cat 1 - they put gussets on, so the m59 won't kill it - did that for the interchangeability reason. Haven't really tested it yet, but will this fall when I use my 1400 pound SR30 box behind the m59 - they said they'd stand behind it if things went sproingg, and I trust them from my experience to date. But if Cat 1 is fine with the m59 I'd have no worries with the 5740.

Rox - the pieces each weigh a solid 70- 80 pounds. I'm a big, fit, guy and I wouldn't enjoy carrying them on a plane.... They aren't just heavy, they are dense. I find it easier to move 100 pound sacks of seed.

So far so good, I'd recommend them to anybody.

OK, I did something stupid . I didn't have an implement on the back of my tractor as I've been doing a lot of grappling in tighter spaces and wanted to be a bit shorter in length. After cleaning up many down pines (pine beetles)...at some point I looked at this stump on the edge of my lawn that I've been meaning to try to pull out and so I threw a chain around it to see if it would budge. I hooked the chain on both of my lower 3 pt arms and around the tree and gave it several tugs. I reckon the 55 hp is stronger than I realize cause I looked back and noticed that the plate that goes on the tractor was now buckled pretty good. Man, I took that thing off and started trying to figure out how I was gonna get it bent back out...no way I could do it.

I knew it was stupid and figured I was out the funds to replace it, but I called the company and told then what I did and what happened to the plate. The fella that called me back was the same fella that met me last time to deliver the plates in the first place. He said he'd be glad to meet me some place again and give me a new plate.

No questions asked. Now that is what I call good customer service. So yeah, I'm still recommending them

Thanks for the great feedback guys, I'm ordering a set when I get home on Saturday.

Your back will love you for it
