I run a Harbor Freight QH with a new top hook that sticks out further (typical problem with the HF QH).

Most QH are typically Cat II and are very similar. Make sure the QH is not too narrow and it has an adjustable top hook. If you search for "Quick Hitch" and check the box for "Search Titles Only" you can read a lot of opinions on the topic.

Here's an older post with some discussion and my thoughts in post #15 of that thread.

Just to be clear what tractor do own? B2650 or L2650???

Category I (Cat I) is usually tractors below 40 HP and Cat II is greater than 40 HP.

There is sometimes some confusion between the statement "my tractor is Cat I or CAT II". As Caden says yours is "typically Cat I" - but what does that actually mean? The lower arms of the 3 PT have a ball with a hole that swivel and accepts the pins of the equipment connected. This would be the "typical Cat I" he refers to.

The other issue when talking about QH's is the type of lower hooks (for lack of a better term) that the connected equipment fits into - see the circled bits. This is "typically" Cat II and may or may not require a Cat II to Cat I adaptor bushings to reduce slop and rattling depending on the type of pins your connected equipment has.

The arrows point to the connecting pins that are typically Cat I. It is unlikely that your tractor has Cat II but if for some reason you do then make sure those pins are Cat II in whatever you buy. I imagine you could buy adaptors for those as well if you had to.

I do not have any real experience with the off brand stuff but I highly recommend the Land Pride/Kubota QH. It fits.

I have some "limited exposure" to Ali Express.

I have ordered 3 "Digital Read Outs” from them.

I got 2 of them, and they work flawlessly (thus far ;) )

And the last one I ordered got delayed, and I eneded up disputing the charge.

Kind of a “crap shoot” I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Does anyone have any experience with the Class 2 Chinese Quick hitches from Amazon, Ali Express or Temu ?
curious ,looked at the TEMU unit....it's actually Vevour brand. I bet allof them red,orange,yellow, green, blue, black are made in the same factory in China. At $239 CDN not a bad deal. even has 2" rcvr on it.

Check your local CL. I see them all the time for cheaper than new. Even facebook market place has them. I picked up a 3 point rake from them. Works great with no issues. Had to put it together.
