jd 3 point quick hitch

[mikeinfl.]

I have a 53 Naa and thinking about buying this quick hitch and don't know a thing about them. they are asking $125.
Does anyone know if this will work on the ford ?
harbour freight has one for $80.I am sure it's from china.
Thanks for your Help,
mike

They work ok on some stuff but not well on other stuff. The problem with a quick hitch is not all 3 point equipment are the same as for being how wide they are and some fit and some are either to narrow or to wide to work

i bought a brand new one when I bought my Deere. It is still my barn, not used once. Sounded great in the sales pitch.....doesn't "quick hitch" to any of my 7 implements.

worthless.

That looks, in that photo, to be a category II hitch. Your tractor is a cat I. So no, it will not work.


I know of Cat 0, Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3 N, Cat 3 and Cat 4. Not sure if there are more. The larger the cat # the bigger the pin diameters and lateral distance between the lower pins as well as the vertical height to the 3rd link hook.

You need to match the quick hitch to your application. That said, I have two tractors w/Cat 3 hitches and I would not have them without quickhitches. I also do know for a fact that if you install one that's built too cheaply you'll end up paying for it later. :roll:
