Implement Bushings..

[ccs]

Hey guys...when using your quick hitch - do you use bushings on you implements pins on just hook up to the pins themselves??

I bought several implements - tiller, box blade, grade scraper, bush hog - and thought it would be nice to have a set of bushings for each - so I bought right length for each implement - put them all on - only to find out when I backed my Quick Hitch 15 on my L4060 up to the implements - the bushings were too fat and couldnt lock dock the levers on the Quick Hitch --- so I'm thinking just back to the standard pins - no bushings at all.....

What do you all do and is no bushings, just the pins OK...? Thanks

Sounds like your bushings are too fat.

Here is what I use on everything I own:

The standard QH pin size is Cat 3, but some companies have made hitches with smaller hooks. I have two QH's, one has Cat 3 hooks and the other has Cat 2 lower hooks with Cat 3 top hook.

You may have a QH with the smaller hooks, or you may be using the knobbed bushings and the hook is trying to fit the knob because the implement frame is too narrow.
