PHD have their own top link, not a removable
one like most other implements. I think every
phd I've seen would not work with a quick
hitch, but i haven't seen everything. :)

Measure the width between pins on all your
implements, must be the same. Measure the
height between the lower pins & the top link
pin - must be the same on all implements.
Check that there is room around each lower
pin for the bigger J-hook of the quick hitch -
some implements are too close on an angle
iron or the like. Top pins frequently give trouble
on this - they have some obstruction that
doesn't allow the bigger hook to engage from
the quick hitch.

A few pto items might have too short of a shaft
now, with the 2-3" added to the connection.

A heavy load, like your bale spear, will
probably make the front end too light, or the
3pt won't lift the load any more because it's
moved back 3".

I doubt the post hole digger will work with a
quick hitch.

Now, _if_ you get all that worked out & set up
& all matching, then a quick hitch is a great
help! :)

So, do the homework.

I don't bother with the cat 1 stuff as that is
pretty easy to hook up, but as someone else
said, for my bigger tractor I just got one this
year, switching between the plow, 15 row
planter, row cultivator, and field cultivator was
killing me, now back up, lift, & ready to go. :)
