Great Product,

July 30, 2010

"The quick change hitch is a wonderful tool and has saved me so much time and frustration. I no longer spend 30 to 90 minutes changing out one 3pt implement for another and my helper bar hasn’t left the garage. Instillation is easy as long as you understand how the item should be attached, the directions are very poor. Once installed the hitch works like a dream. If you change implements daily or rarely the quick change hitch will simplify your day."

3-Point Quick Change Hitch — Category 2,

June 1, 2010

By Hank601

from Perkinston, MS

"I am well pleased with this product. It was easy to install and easy to use. I no longer have to break my back trying to hitch up the other side of the three point attachment. I have had mine installed for over 6 months now and it is weathering and working well. One word of caution: pay attention to the length of your PTO shaft as this unit will require about 4 inches more length as it moves the attachment point away from the tractor. I would recommend this to anyone that has multiple pieces of equipment and makes frequent implement changes."

Ouick Hitch adapters,

May 31, 2010

By JimBob1

from Walker , La

"I bought a pair of these last month. My oldest son and I found the directions for assembly very simple, straight forward and accurate. The wedges used to level the units are a little tricky , but easy to figure out. We have used them daily and find them durable and makes connections from various implements much simpler , especially when you are by yourself.
I would reccomend these to the guy who uses his tractor daily as well as the occasional weekend warrior. The necessity for hammers and pin point positioning are reduced as well as the temptation to lift or drag things into place. It saves time and is worth the money."

So much easier.,

February 22, 2010

By CountryCutter

from Iowa

"I initially purchased a different brand of quick hitch and found it impossible to use. The implement that I used most frequently was a Deere 390 flail mower, which is designed to use either a cat 1 or cat 2 quick hitch. The cat 1 quick hitch that I had only had about 1/8 inch clearance (so you could be off 1/16 inch either way!), so if you didn't back up perfectly, you weren't going to get it to couple. This quick change system (Pat's Easy Change System) was wonderful. I didn't have the stabilizer bar, which I recommend that you get, but it was still much easier than the other system. I highly recommend it!!"

3-Point Quick Change Hitch,

October 19, 2009

By Stillarebel

from Chattanooga TN

"Excellent product - For years I have wrestled with implement hook ups to my tractor. This Quick Change hitch works great. Backup, position the hitch and it's all done. I hesitated to try these out because I thought it might allow the implement to suddenly decouple in the field causing me lost time or damage to either my tractor or the implement. I have had no such problem. I highly recommend this hitch."

maybe for the residential farmer / not for me,

August 2, 2009

By tawhite

from Dayton,Texas

"I purchased this product due the fact that I seldom have someone around to help with attachments.The product is a great concept except that it does not and will not hold up to the wear and tear put on it while brushhogging.The bolts that hold it on are not upgradded bolts and broke off as did the spring that holds the latch closed.I had to tie wrap the latch closed and finally the latch broke and I had to end up taking the whole assembly off. The parts on it were wearing out within only a few months of use. The product was built cheap and will not hold up to any kind of abuse."

Quick change Cat 2 hitch,

July 20, 2009

By DocA

from SE Ohio

"Even though my Deere 5310 is a Cat 2 ball, the lift arm width is less than 3 1/4 inches, meaning I will need to fabricate a part as all my equipment has been converted to Cat 2. The width of the lift arm should be annoted in the product description as the Cat 1 quick change is for lift arms <3 1/4", and the
Cat 2 >3 1/4""

Quick Hitch,

July 13, 2009

By RLBLP

from Stephenville, TX

"Works great to hook up my auger, shredder, and discs. Before it was a misery of pushing, shoving, and kicking to get it all lined up right. Attachments go on easy and have stayed put. Much cheaper than other quick hitches I've seen."

Back Saver,

November 20, 2008

By JtMo

from Indiana

"Before I got these I used to man-handle my bush hog, tiller, and other attachments when mounting them to my tractor. I don't know why I waited so long to get these. They take the pain out of changing implements. These are quality built (heavy) pieces of steel that will last a lifetime."
