Has anyone tried one of those three PT hitch Quick hitches? Are they worth trying?

I have one on my 801 ford, that I bought at Tractor Supply Co. I really do like it, it makes swapping from mower to box blade a whole lot easier.

Ron: I think the others have just about sumed it up, they work better on Cat 2 and 3 for a couple of reasons; first I think you will find more standardization in the larger hitches. (top link in relation to lower links) Secondly a lot of big equipment is semi-mount so it really doesn't matter where the top link is. The other item to consider is most of the Cat 1 hitches are top link sencing on draft control and that will have an effect.

It is probably costing $5,000. today to put a good lower link sencing draft controlled hitch on a tractor. I would suspect most 3 points under 40 hp today are in the Mickey Mouse class. In fact they were that way 30 years ago.

The only downside I ran into is that catagory 1 seems to be a very loose specification so some of my equipment fit the quick hitch as is and some would have to be modified to have the proper width between the lower pins, and the toplink hookup seems to vary in design - again apparently requiring modification to 'standard'. Of course I have several brand names on my equipment since most was picked up at auction. I borrowed the one I used to check it out and decided to continue to do it the hard way.

I've used a tractor with them and they are nice particularly if you work alone a lot which I do. It seems the bigger the tractor, definitely the more handy they are. It makes switching equipment a snap.
