I have eagle hitch on 2 case tractors. Works fine with some cat 1 3 pt equipment. Since the eagle hitch has no swing some cat 1 equipment is just slightly wide and won"t fit, particularly cheap foreign made items. I mean just 1/2 to 3/4 inches off. If the eagle hitch is a little worn and has some play in the arm width it will usuall fit. The other problem is the pto shaft often needs to be shortened on the implement. Works real fine if you don"t want any swing in the implement. Just remember that with the ridgid arms if the front end of your tractor moves left the rear of the implement goes right and visa versa, same as having sway bars on a swinging 3 point. The eagle hitch is easier to hook onto, but depending on how the pins are attached to the implement there may not be enough room for the latch.
