Hey all , recently got a new tractor with a cat 2 quick hitch. All of my attachments but my 7ft tiller were cat 2 quick hitch. The tiller worked for the lower pins but not the top. Here was my simple solution. Needs a little finish work and some bolts. Maybe this could help someone. With a few simple garage tools and iron anyone can do this if they have the same problem. The top pin was almost 7-1/2” to high. I patterned the holes and made drop plates.

Most CAT II QHs don't have adjustable top hooks. My JD doesn't. But honestly, even if it were adjustable it wouldn't be that adjustable. My Maschio flail was off by a little bit mnore than that.

Had the same problem on my Caroni flail - supposedly Cat 1 or 2, but the top link was Cat2 height ONLY - just out of range for the HF QH. My "temporary" fix has been on it for 4-5 YEARS :rolleyes: ... Steve

Good fixes. I am going to radius the edges and cut some spacers on my lathe for between the top. Then paint the plates and bolt them to prevent wear. I didn’t want to weld the plates and make a permanent change.

Good idea! I’ve going to standardize my implements this winter to hook up with the quick hitch I just got. Definitely will use that on a couple implements!
