Mk Martin pull behind snowblower problems with quick hitch

[oosik]

I have five implements that go on my 3-point. I looked into a popular brand of quick hitch. Seems like every one of my implements would require some degree of modification to work on the QH. OR the QH itself would need mods. All in all - the QH would have been a mistake in my case. And what do you do when trying to sell an implement that has be modified.

I have found little "tricks" that have made implement hook up easier and safer. I'll just go this way.

That's my experience too, I tried the HB quick hitch using the cat2-->cat1 bushings. It was all money wasted IMHO, now I'm faster without it. I think Pats Quick hitch is the more practical solution if one desires a quicker hook up time?

Both my HF quick hitches work great, have 5 different impliments and all 5 fit them perfectly. I bought two hitches just in case one broke but both have been just fine after 5yrs of service and get used lots.

I have the Euro style hooks on my Branson and the regular extendable links on my NH 8160. I have tried the quick hitches and they didn't same my any time and then the aggravation of squeezing in between the so called quick hitch and my implement for the pto shaft or the hydraulics. It didn't safe me anything and then the agravation of towed implements and getting in and around the hitch for pto shafts, no thanks I have no use for the quick hitches I do like my Euro hooks and may weld a set on the NH.

I switched to Pat's quick hitch after I got my snowblower because the regular quick hitch with the top bar connector interfered with the angle of the PTO shaft.
