Which 3 pt. quick is better?

[Altex]

I was thinking about getting a quick hitch, but decided on getting a top n tilt. I already have the hydraulics plumbed for the 2 hookups when I bought the tractor. Yes it's probably double the quick hitch but it gives you so many more options for what I do. I't not just up and down it will angle and give you left and right when hooking up by shortening or lengthening the top link.

I also was looking at a quick hitch but with the acres we have the top n tilt seemed to address my needs better and I don't have to leave the seat when operating the equipment.

Check out ccm machinery. They are a member here.

Baranx, Top n Tilt is great, but I think your comparing two different concepts. A Quick Hitch is about connecting your Lower Links (and some with top links) to the 3PT Implement Faster. Like switching from a Brush Hog to Box Blade.

If I need to connect my Boxblade, I just back up, lift, and the bottom links are connected. 5 Seconds. With Top and Tilt alone you still need to get those lower links connected. How long does it take you to hook up? I know you don't have to leave the seat when operating the equipment with T & T, but were taking about changing/hooking up different equipment.

Many have T & T And Pat's Easy Change, Like 3RRL(Rob)

Well,
I really wanted Pat's but just could not afford it..
I bought this one off ebay for $65.

The only difference I see between it and PAt's is the self locking mechanism.
That would be nice, but I have really bent the fool out of my box blade..

So I need to get some new arms for it...

Most will work..
Just depends on your needs and the attachments..

As a side-- I did not have top link length issues..

Later,

Got my the BB 1 1/2 yrs ago for $488 (5' wide with 5 Scarifiers). Check out the Box Blade arms. Nothing there to bend! Pic was from when I got it new. Just want to let you know what's out there.

I paid $435 for mine.. and wish I had yours...

Yes you have to leave the seat, but you hook up much faster than te traditional method with little to no gruntwork. It takes the work our of needing a pry bar. Plus now you can operate it making adjustments on the fly.

Now how many times do you get off your tractor to properly adjust your boxblade when your top link isn't where you want it, or when your adjusting your plow.

Yes you have to leave the seat, but you hook up much faster...

As I said before, seems like you're talking about two different concepts.
Operating the equipment and hooking/unhooking the equipment. I agree with you that T&T is great for operating. Just saying that a quick hitch is faster to attach/detach than without a quick hitch. And if you have both T &T and a quich Hitch, that would be the best of both worlds!
