quick hitch

[jim spencer]

I bought a quick hitch for my 2 point because my back is getting bad.
Of 2 blades, 1 landscape rake, 1 dirt scoop, 1 carrier, and 1 boom pole, it will work on only 2 of these implements.
Very disappointed because I can't even see how I can modify them to work properly with this hitch.

Any suggestions.
I am returning this ez hitch tommorrow.

Jim: where did you buy the quick hitch?

On various forums, there has been a lot of discussion about lack of clearance to make the top connection work. So far as I recall, no solutions.

Sadly, the QH's are sorta B&D.. that is.. they fit an implement only exactly meeting the 3pt spec of that category.

many implements.. especially older ones do not 100% fit that spec.. though with a conventional 3pt hitch.. you have no problem.. etc..

I bought a quick hitch from Harbour Freight last winter and it wouldn't work on my 6 year old Woods snow blower or any thing else I have. I would have had to alter all my 3 point equipment.

That 2 point was a typo.
I have a Jubilee.

Also I bought my Quick hitch at Harbor Freight for $69.

Yes, there is an adapter available through Harbor Freight for a reasonable price but you won't get it fast. Their shipping is ridiculously slow. I have seen other brands that sell an adapter for the top....some new and some older equipment just don't have room for the big hook to get under the top pin, so with this adapter you lift up to connect the lower two pins then slip one pin through the top...One other thing about the Harbor Freight QH is that it is Cat. I but there is lots of slack where the two lower pins drop into the QH. You need bushings to make it fit tighter. I found them at Speeco but they will not respond to my emails..That's O.K. though I don't need their help. Adapter info.. http://www.gearmore.com/partsbooks/Quickhitch.pdf
