That came with my cat 1 quick hitch. I use it with my back blade and my 2 inch receiver hitch, that match the lower hooks on the quick hitch, but do not hook on to the upper hook.

Not to hijack this discussion, but the quick hitch topic is something I’ve wondered about. I have never had a quick hitch except for Pat’s on a previous tractor. My current tractor has a category 2 hitch and I have both cat2 and a few few cat1 implements that I use with adapter bushings. How could I use a quick hitch with all of my implements?

I have both, cat 1 and 2 quick hitches. It is a bit of a pain changing back and forth, but not as much as trying to connect directly to the implement.

I’m wondering if it would be worth it since I have extendable lift arms? They make a huge difference.

Hmm… I see that HF has the cat 1 quick hitch on clearance for $135. How does the top hook work with the top link?
