here is a link to a recent post.
I myself bought one, and found the lower ball slots to be narrow. but with two chisels and a hammer easy to spread to seperate. But then I had the upper 'hook' trouble. and the adapter wasn't going to cost much, but the shipping was terrible.
I had hoped and thought they would have fixed the trouble, but the most recent post says they haven't. But I wouldn't not get it because of that trouble. Its easily fixed.
Hope this helps.

I got one in January 2007, and everything hooked up ok.

Got one and it works fine.
I had to adjust some implements and get a longer top link to make everything work, but now I wouldn't be without it.

I have one also. Some had problems mounting it to their tractors and had to open up the mount points. The problem with was the width of the hitch was the same as my KK attachments (27 1/2"). Would not have done any good to reverse the pins when they are the same width. I had to cut my hitch in half, move it apart, sleeve it and reweld.

I received mine from HF less than a week ago. The slots for the lower arms are 1-1/2" wide. The distance between the lower hooks is about 26-1/2", and the distance from outside of one hook to the outside of the other is 29". The sticker says it meets ASAE specs for category 1.
I also bought a cat 1 drawbar to use for modifying a back blade that won't fit the quick hitch, I dropped it into the hooks for a look see. The drawbar is 26" wide, so no problem there. The pins (7/8"?) fit nicely in the bottom hooks, no room for bushings if I'd wanted to. I could use some spacers to take up the slack between the hooks if I wanted, but it's only 1/2", not much movement there.

I bought one of these a couple of months ago for by Kubota BX2200 and it works well. I had to buy an additional bracket from HF to attach my back blade. I attached my box blade today for the first time and went through some trial and error getting the top pin to seat properly into the hook at the top of the quick hitch. I didn't do any real work with the box blade today, but wonder how difficult it will be to adjust the top link to engage the scarifiers.
