I have the QH15 on my B2601 so had to add the cat 1-3 bushings to most of my implements. Now that they all have bushings its no big deal. Added a Hydraulic top link and best thig since sliced bread. Only regret is that the QH16 was not available at the time I got mine, could have skipped the whole bushing thing

I have a snow blower and rotary cutter from Land Pride/Kubota, a box blade and land plane (land leveler) from Everything attachments, a trailer receiver from King Kutter, a sprayer from Fimco and a seeder from Herd that all work with the QH10 and QH15. That's five manufacturers without an issue.
just curious, aren't you still adjusting the top hook up your QH for each implement? For me, that took just about as much time as hooking up the top link. Certainly, having a hydraulic top link helps make the top link connection quicker. Granted it took less than a minute to make an adjustment of the top hook on my QH, but it only takes a minute to connect the top linkup with pats utilizing the hydraulic top link. I suppose keeping a log of the top hook positioning for each individual implement would've made that job with the QH easier.

My top link 'cheat' was to bolt a top link onto every 3PH implement. Adjust once, use often. I haven't adjusted the one on my rototiller for 15 years...
If you run implements that need constant adjustment, install a hydraulic toplink.

I have the Pat's quick hitch and really like it. I also have hydraulic top link. I do have to get off the tractor and hook up the top link but it's so quick and easy that it's not a problem. I can swap to any other implement new/old in no time.

No. Once I positioned the adjustable hook on the QH15 in the same location as the fixed hook on the QH10 I haven't had to change it. The only real issue these days with the QH15 is the ridiculous CAT 3 lower connections on the implement side. I will definitely be correcting that using the approach that I discussed in an earlier post.

I've had nothing short of a great experience with Land Pride/Kubota attachments, and that's with numerous implements over the past almost 9 years now, and I'm talking twenty or more with four different tractors, but the QH15 is the first implement I've encountered where I shake my head and wonder what were they thinking. :unsure:
