Quick Hitches Speeco Quick Hitch from TSC Bushings??

jdgreg · Oct 9, 2006

I picked up a Cat1 Speeco QH from TSC today, and it did not have any bushings attached to the hitch. Looking at the item from Speeco's website, and the TSC Blue Book, seems like there should have been a bag of adapters with it. Anyone purchased one from TSC lately that had one? If I cant get the adapters from TSC, any recommendations? For the time being, I made some bushings out of water pipe, but would like to get the "correct" bushings, need them for 3 implements (rake, blake, rotary cutter).

My first impression of this thing is, Why the he!! didnt I get this thing years ago!!!!!!

When I bought mine from TSC a year ago, it was missing them also. The manager went and pulled a set off of the shelf for me. I would see if they would do the same for you. I too agree that it is an awesome improvement for 3ph implements.

When I bought my spee-co quick hitch a few years ago, it came with the toplink adapter and a set of bushings. I would contact them again and see if it should have had them.

Yes, you should get a set of bushings with your SpeeCo quick hitch. They came with mine. They are $24 a set at TSC. Go back and get the set that you should have gotten with your hitch!!

I've been thinking about one of these for the past few months for the TC-40D SS. One of my neighbors (rswyan) has the TSC unit on his Kubota and all of his implements including a chipper were modified to fit the QH.

Seems to me that using one would sure make my job easier, especially when it comes to implements that are a bear to move for alignment like the tiller. Man that's a hernia maker....

Anyone know what these TSC-QHs are rated for HP wise?

TSC carried the Speeco QH, and the Cat1 is up to 50hp and Cat2 up to 100hp.

TSC is real bad about keeping 'assembly' items together. on more than one occasion I'd have to go get parts that were suposed to come together, and were otherwise seperated by other customers looking.. or from dumb store employees.

Yeah, seen that before there. When I picked the QH up, there were others on the rack, 2 Cat1, and 2 CatII I believe. None of them had the parts pack taped to them anywhere. Plus one of the Cat1 QH was missing a pin and keeper.

Ok, so where do I find the bushings if the TSC store cant find them? I need sets for 3 implements. Are the bushings something that would be stocked at a tractor store?

Well if they can't find the set that should have been included with your QH then ask the manager to give you another set. They are usually in the back, in a bin with all the 3 pt hitch stuff. You'll have to buy other sets for 23.99 per set (that's what they charge at my local TSC).
