Which QuicK Hitch do you guys prefer??

[timster2]

I have the HF quick hitch for a year now so far no problems. Just looking on next months coupons and the quick hitch is on sale for $70. If nothing else its a good price even if you end up modifying it. Here is a link to the coupon. http://images.harborfreight.com/hftusa/itc/7861/images/80.jpg Its an Inside track coupon but they usually don't care and honor the coupon even if you are not a member.

I love the JD iMatch on my L3830. Painted it black so it didn't clash with my orange. :thumbsup:

I do not like the cheap imported HF and TSC quick hitches. Deere or Land Pride were my only options.

A hitch snob...


Just kidding.

The problem I see with people and their QH's is they cheap out and buy the low grade hitch and then get peeved when things don't work. The JD iMatch is nice but an adjustable top hook is a must IMHO. That is why I recommend the Landpride. Top quality with adjustments. I haven't found an attachment yet that it will not work on.:thumbsup:

Buy the Harbor Freight version, take the money you save and put it towards a welder and a grinder. If you have a tractor you need a welder and grinder anyway. No need to pay big bucks for a quick hitch.

I have the the HF quick hitch and the Y adapter to use with my M5040 Kubota. So far it has worked great, no issues. I have used it to lift and pull the disc harrow, box blade etc.. so it has been worked hard and had quite a bit of a load on it with no issues. When my buddy saw how quick I could back up and hook up an implement, he had to have one too.

Priefert quick hitch. Adjust for cat 1 or cat 2 implements and has an adjustable/reversible top link

Both my el cheapo quick hitches have adjustable top hooks. Ditto on have not found an attachment that it will not work with. I like my $100 Northern Tool unit.

All my addons are on dollies. Since those are moveable every which way, you don't need a quick hitch.

with dollies one can move in & out,left & right but not up & down
I have both dollies and a quick hitch (JD Imatch) IMHO you NEED/WANT both
had dollies first but with addition of quick hitch life much easier for my 72 year old body if you are going to have only one get the QH feel that adjustable top hook is necessary would look long and hard at Landpride

Gus: I find it easier to just drop the hitch arms to the bottom and lift each arm manually as necessary to fit it on the pins. I find this most useful when connecting the PTO shafts as typically I angle the attachment on its dolly, make the PTO connection and then swing the other arm in place. Up and down does not come into play. Now this is on a BX and things are tight. Works well for my rotor tiller, chipper and bagger. Obviously everyone develops their own technique and mine works for me. Quick hitch has its merits as well.
