quickhitch for Woods Rotary Cutter and Country Line Rake

[planters49]

I got a Country Line landscape rake from Tractor Supply a few days ago and after taking 30 minutes to detach my Woods Rotary Cutter and another 15 minutes to attach the rake I've decided I need a quick hitch. Which quick hitch will work with the Woods rotary cutter and the Country Line landscape rake? I have a Bobcat CT122 tractor that everything is used for. Thanks!

Will this work with both my attachments?

For future searchs the quick hitch from tractor supply will work with both of the attachments I was asking about.

I have a quick hitch on my Kubota B2920 and I love it. Be aware though that a quick hitch will add about 3 inches of distance between your tractor and your implement, space that your implement drive shaft will have to take up. Usually this is not a issue, but I found when I was backing my rotory cutter down a slope (so the cutter was well below the tractor) that it needed more PTO shaft then I had, and the PTO guard seperated and when I pulled the rotory cutter back up to level the PTO guard went to collapse, and mushed against itself and tore itself up. No harm done but some plastic, but it does show that I came very close to having the PTO shaft seperate at 540 RPM, which could have been bad bad bad.

I had to get a longer PTO shaft.

So if you go swift hitch, be aware of the ramifications that -might- require a longer PTO shaft.

The other problem people run into with the varies quick hitches is that not all implements have the same spacing between pins and sometimes have to be modified to work. It is worth measuring you attachment points to see if both will fit.
