Quick Hitch? 👍 or 👎

The first thing I did after buying my tractor was to buy the Harbor Freight Quick Hitch. I never took it off the tractor after installing it more than 11 years ago. I use it with my box blade, single bottom plow, my neighbor's auger, my neighbor's bush hog, my weights for loader ballast, hauling trailers, my sprayer and my cargo basket. After making adjustments for implements the first time, I never had to do it again. I love it.

I have a QH15 and wouldn't be without it. The only time I take mine off is to use a broadcast spreader a couple times a year.

I have a Speeco quick hitch that is setting on a pallet with 6 Kubota rear wheel weights that I just dug out to sell. I've had the quick hitch for several years and never had enough implements that fit it to justify messing with it.

I'm the odd one out!

no you're not. I bought a Speeco unit and found thst it only fit SOME of my implements so Back it went

I also have a harbor freight model on my B. Love it, I buy used implements and it's not much work at all to get them set up to work with it. After I added my hydraulic top link it's a painless operation to swap implements without getting off the tractor unless I need to hook up a PTO shaft.

I like quick hitches to a point. My MX6000 won't ever have a quick hitch on it as the three main implements that are used on it aren't set up for quick hitch and I am not going to refab them. I start out in the spring with the carryall on and then the sprayer goes on until fall harvest is over then the trailer hitch goes on for moving trailers in the sheds and running a pull type sprayer for a bit. Then the MX6000 goes to the shed for the winter. I run quick hitches on my big tractors as all that equipment is set up to use it. One of my big tractors hasn't had the three point arms and quick hitch on it in years. They get into the way of the hitch on the grain cart and planter.

(MX)QH is for me. However, (B2650) Pats is . (I one of each…wish I had pats on the MX)

IMO when it’s a QH compatible implement that fits, then an QH is awesome. When they are not then I think Pats is better. YMMV. (I’ve modified the implements where I could / made sense).

I think if given a choice b/n a QH or a Pats or a TnT, I think a TnT might be a better use of the $$$. But I don’t have one so I don’t really know that.

Unfortunately the next couple implements on the ‘to buy’ list for the MX one might be QH (maybe) and the other won’t fit it. Still a split decision. But I also don’t want to change PTO shafts for the ones I already have bad enough to go to a pats on the MX.
