My Harbor Freight Quick Hitch

I finally got some pics of the HF hitch. Howse brush hog attached, showing very little sloppyness on the lower links and the washers I added to the 'quick hitch ready' Howse Box scraper.

I have a Bush Hog too, and it looks as if the 3/4" bolt (and bushing) are made for a Quick Hitch type attachment. The distance is the required 15" between it and the lower pins. This leaves the top hitch pin unused. With this, I do not have to use the adapter. It appears the fit is a little tight, but will work once I replace the J-hook bolts with pins.

Question is: is that what that lower bolt is actually for?

SpeeCo Price: $179.99 / HF Price: $89.99 without the cupon

I am pretty good at Math, I don't think it's less, maybe you were speaking of something else...

Anyway, with the Width: 27-1/4", you might need to widen it bit to fit everything. I got the HF and it was 27-1/2" and in order to work with the KK Rake I had to take it out a bit so I would imangine that the 1/4 lost on that one is going to require some mod as well.

Seem to fit other impliments very well.

Looks to be the same thing though...

Yea I was replying to the previous post by Mike57 who said that some places wanted more than 300 dollars. But your right HF is the cheapest, and seems to once adapted to go with everyones equipment fine working.I have seen any posts that it twisted or failed,so thats a good point .
I had the HF hitch and returned it after i found I needed the adapter and also with that it wouldn't work with all my attachments. Hated to do it with shipping etc. But they stood behind the return.Good Company.

Doesn't look as beefy as the name brand ones I've seen.

Been away for a while building my mountain home. The HF quick hitch is working well. Hasn't come off with tall the work I've done.

For those of you that were curious to see what that foundation looks like posts ago....here is a picture. One more month and I'm done......Very time consuming and I am beat.

Regards!

Well my Harbor Freight QH has taken quite the beating. It has bent and broken one weld. Tonight it goes under the welder and I am going to beef it up. I'll try and get some pictures of the results.

would this QH from HF work on a JD 2305? anyone have it on a 2305?

I believe all these QHs are the same, some may be made of a little better steel and have cleaner welds. Main thing is to measure the bottom pins on all your attachments to see if it will work, and then get the correct one, I think HF has 3 different QHs. I have a HF and have had to modify a couple of implements but it has been worth it.

I made a QH for myself (No HF here) and had to modify almost all of my implements (Since I made them it was my fault), but I still say it was worth it.

For example, yesterday my neighbor wanted to expand his parking area. There are lots of small trees and a bit of a hump that needed to be leveled out. So I pick up the scoop and moved a bit of rock dumped in the way. Dropped the scoop to pull a rope to pull the trees out one by one. Tied the rope to the QH. Picked up the rollover BB and raked out roots and roughed things in. Dropped the rollover and picked up the RB with gauge wheels to put the final smooth on things. Dropped the RB and grabbed the scoop again to spread out the rock. In a 2 hour span that is a lot of changing and the QH made it a bunch faster.
