Re: Midwest Quick Hich
The balls are simply alignment bushings with flared guides to help guide the implement onto the hitch.
The hitch is also available with hooks made to fit straight bushings making alignment less critical for folks not blessed with implements exactly matching the Cat 1 spacing spec, but it will be a few weeks until our source has them machined for straight bushing applications. The hitch works perfectly with all Midwest and Kioti implements but the spacing is too critical for some of the "Brand X" implements we tried. One would fit and then the next from the same company would be wider or narrower, thus the straight bushing idea.
The handle can be reversed, making it easier to reach from the seat. The hitches are available from Kioti dealers in orange and from Midwest in gray, green, blue, red, and yellow.
The top and tilt system was to be installed on a show tractor, but much to my dismay, that model tractor wasn't available at Louisville, although had I thought of it, there were other vendors there with a Kioti model that would have worked. Had I taken the system to the Tulare show, I would have had 2 to choose from. But I did get to run it off the tractor for a few interested folks. Trying to get a video clip of it installed and running up on the web page by month's end. It has not been decided as to whether this system will be available from Kioti only, or if it will also be a Midwest labelled product also, but it will most certainly work with other machines.
Thanks to all the folks who stopped by and made the week shorter by visiting.
