That top hook is a big bugaboo on HF. Surprised that their reverse engineering of US products screwed that item up. As others I just made the hook further out by welding a 3/4" block after cutting the hook off. I complained to HF Tech services but got the proverbial run-around, nowhere.

Unless they have run out of stock again, the hooks are back in stock. I got mine last week. I haven't had time to put it on yet, but from the looks of things, it should be a problem solver.

Here's my simple fix that allows me to use a brush hog on a LP quick hitch:

Note- distance between holes is 5-1/2 inches.

I recently purchased a new finish mower and wanted to try it on my QH. I purchased the adapter I listed in my other post and it would not fit. I found I could raise my QH hook to the top position and it would engage but it would come unhooked at times so I couldn't lift the mower. I ended up making a simple strap with a 3/4" hole in one end and a 1/2" hole in the other. I think they are on 2-1/2" centers but don't remember exactly. I bolted the strap into the top hole of my QH and just left it there. When I use the mower I flop it to the rear and stick the mower top link pin through that.
