Pat's Quick Hitch

[Cycledude]

Thanks, I'm not interested on weld-on though, websites call them weld-on quick hitch ends.
I might see the day I want to use cat 2 implements and my old cat 1 implements.

I have the Euro Hooks on my LS XR4155 , the ones I have work great with category 1 or 2 pins.
Bought mine from Brian at MtnViewRanch, it cost plenty but I am very satisfied with the results and would definitely do it again, I highly recommend working with Brian he definitely knows his stuff and does excellent work.

Quick Hitch can be good if all your tools can match with QH. Do not use other peoples tools.

Pat`s is ok with small tractors.

Here in EU almost all tractors are sold to day with Euro Hooks.
They are good for small tractors and strong for biggest tractors.
I have made it possible to use Euro Hooks
from tractor cabin.
Here is some videos of my works.
My linkage is not for sale to day. Ask your dealer or tractor company.
You can make your own easy if you have Mig-welding machine.
I made flexible QH for all my tools.
Good but expensive and heavy.
Here is my try
At first is my universal QH.
Then is my Euro Hitch Linkage for my Kubota and for a big JD

Good luck for you to get best hitch.

I have a set on my Kubota L3700SU. I like them, One thing that does happen with implements that sway side to side, Is that the pins that go through the post on the implement tend to bend as the pats part pushes against them. I have had a couple break in the past. Some have posted that their arms tend to move inward and to use a spacer to keep them wide.. I did the opposite. I have my arms adjusted so they can't close more than the width of the hookup width of my equipment.. and I use a bungee to hold them together so they don't open too wide.

I guess I’m confused how they don’t fit some implements. Can someone tell me why?

I have a Cat 1 cultipacker that my Cat 2 PQH doesn't fit that well. The pins are too close to the frame, so there isn't quite enough room for the "hook" on the PQH. Slightly annoying because it would be nice to use it with that attachment.

I've been looking at purchasing one of these Pat's Quick Hitch for my New Holland T1510. How many of you have experience with them? Is there anything I need to know prior to using it? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kinda like some others, I have had the Pat's for years and I like it and use it a lot. You need a spreader bar - which you can make or buy. Remember it adds length to the arms.
And one attachment it isn't best for is a post hole auger, especially if you drill in rocky ground. It's easy for a rock to anchor to your auger and the torque will pull the Pat's loose. Otherwise it's a fine tool.
