I have a Woods Quick Hitch, and would like to purchase a suitcase weight attachment for it. I have come to realize after researching these forums in the past, that all quick hitches aren’t created equal in terms of specs, compatibility etc… That said, does anyone know of a compatible suitcase weight attachment that you would recommend for the Woods TQH1 Quick Hitch? I just use the weights (6 total weights 90 lbs ea for 540 lbs total) during the snow season.

Thanks,

Wineguy

Not quite, but just as effective, unless you need an implement, too.

That’s clever. I already own the suitcase weights, and thought about rigging up directly to the Quick Hitch similar to what you’ve done. That’s exactly what I did on my previous tractor. However, as I get older, I have made a number of dolly’s to enable me to remove & store all my implements w/o breaking my back lifting anything every time I need to remove.

You just need to build a frame that will hold your weights and hitch up.
A piece of channel with wings for the upright. (Wings needed for pin in top) Come down and attach to a frame that is high enough to catch side pins when unhitching. Then you can put in heavy angle to hold the suit case weights.
Did something similar with an i-beam. I'll get a picture when it warms a bit today.

I made my own "suitcase" weights out of concrete, but this is the kind of bracket you need. Mine is also a trailer receiver. Mine is made of a drawbar, receiver tube and flat bar.

Here's how mine mounts to the quick hitch I have. (Harbor Freight) You should be able to fab something up that works for you. This was all scrap I had laying around.

Be apprised that suitcase weights come in many configurations for attachment to various tractors as well. Certainly not 'one size fits all'.
