Quick hitch with top n tilt
- Thread starter Tgrund
- Start date
None that I can think of. The only think to be aware of is if you use PTO driven implements sized to your 3PH now, you may need new shafts since the QA will extend them out 4" or more. If you have all Cat 1 stuff, look into a Cat 1 QA, most are Cat 2 and you need bushings for everything. Also if your implements are not QA ready, make sure the QA you buy has a removable top hook.
My new tractor will eventually have top n tilt as I have them installing full rear remotes, and plan to use my current QA that is on my B2410 on it, the TNT will make box grading and scraping a LOT easier.

Yes top n tilt is awesome for box blading a driveway. That is why I got it and I don’t regret it at all. What do you mean needing a removeable hook if the implement is not QA ready? Don’t you just install a center pin for the top like hook up?

QH's are standardized, 3pt isn't unlss they claim to be QH compatible
Ideas to make implements QH compatible
Get the most benefit from your quick hitch. Buying new get QH compatible. Here is a photo of an implement whose manufacturer has their act together. Note how it's designed for cat 1 & 2. Also the lift arm spacing can be adjusted. Some "QH compatible" only need minor modification. This TSC...

Nope. I have both on mine no issues. Just pay close attention make sure you arent extending something to tweak the QH….but it should not be much of a problem. I even keep my QH on with my rear blade.
TNT will help more than hinder your QH
Be aware you may need to lengthen your PTO shafts. You may also have interference issues between the PTO shaft and the QH.

The center hook only works with attachments made for quick attach, which when I got mine, not many were, so that needed to be removed and have to use a flip over loop like this.
So before buying one, check to make sure the one you buy has a removable hook.

I have a hydraulic top link with Speeco eHitch http://www.speeco.com/products.aspx?id=209&id2=438
Works great.
Works great.
T&T (and 3rd) combined with QH is really hard to beat.
Building/maintaining a road - Cut edges on-the-fly, build a crown on-the-fly, switch from crown to slope and back again on-the-fly (top and tilt and angle if you have it).
Grading lawns etc, with gauge wheels, a rake or blade will have an infinitely adjustable cut angle within that range. Using the top link you can grade up over little hills etc (like a septic system) without leaving in the valleys and scalping the tops.
Mowing/backing - Up or down a steep bank the top link will give you a lot of flexibility.
Hooking up the attachment on an uneven surface or un-level plane to the 3pt arms, no problem (top and tilt depending) NEVER LEAVE THE SEAT!
Loading the trailer - (top) no more dragging the implement on the ground. There are tons of times when loading and operating that the T&T provided for added clearance needed to maneuver around something.
I use all 3 of my QH daily and rear remotes constantly so I could go on and on.
WAY faster in every respect for sure but more importantly it allow for a higher quality job.

I have an Amazon replacement top hook to allow the top hook to work on my bush hog, a common problem with the HF QH. I use the above-noted U adaptor on my Fontier back blade. The top hook would not work. I also need a pair of those ~ $30 pin covering things for the back blade because my dual bushings I use on everything else to convert the Cat 1 pins to Cat 3 for the QH (just move them from implement to implement, A LOT cheaper than those $30 one that permanently stay on each implement). Only about $4 at TSC. The pins on the back blade are too short though, to put a pin in the hole at the end of the lift pins to keep the bushings from sliding off.
Can the TNT hydraulic control position levers be locked in place? In most cases, one would not want to accidently hit one of the levers.
