I have a quick hitch attachment on both of my tractors and love them so much. They make it easy to hook up the implements to my tractor and glad that I got these attachments.
Another great how to video . Great information for the new tractor owner . Much better than watching someone cutting rounds .
😁 Thanks Henry!
Just attached my new Speeco cat 1 quick hitch (ordered from you) using these instructions. Thanks!
Quick tip, leave the quick hitch on the ground, attach the top link first, use a block to prop up one end of the quick hitch, then attach the lower links starting with the end without the block.
I was trying to get my workout in for the day! :)
Saw this comment about using a block when I was reviewing the video on how to attach… worked like a charm! I’m 70 and was doing it solo so it made the job easier for sure, thanks!
Great video, thanks - it answered a bunch of questions that I had!
Thanks for clearing it up!
Just what I needed thanks!
This is a really informative video
Great video!
Wow, your videos are super detailed which is really awesome. I just subscribed because of it. I just bought a JD3039r and I’m more or less green so really have a lot to learn. You mentioned that nut on the center link getting tightened all the way down against the part of the center link that spins. I noticed you never did tighten it down to that though. Is that just because you were concentrating on the attachments? So, before you actually went off and used the brush hog you would’ve tightened that nut down? Thanks man, really precise video to teach us rookies!!
Excellent how to video! Where were you several years ago when we bought an i-match from John Deere? LoL it was much more expensive than this 1..... The top link adapter intrigues me, that looks like the perfect item for a few of our non-compatable implements. Very clever!
Haha well the iMatch is a good one too!
There has been an 'A' frame quikh attach device available for several years .It has the advantage of self aligning and It comes in two parts one of which is attached to the impliiment.
Great video
Thank you!
Very nice
Another great video! I looked in the video description but didn't see a link to the bushings. I purchased a random 2 pack set from Amazon for about $30, making them about $15 a set.
Tip : on the adjustment top link put some anti seize on the threads of the adjustable part keep it from rusting so be easy to adjust
Pat's works for me.
From all appearances, it looks like the bushings could be installed with the large collar to the inside, and rather than have to use the roll pin to keep them in place, the large collar would do that. Then, use a thick washer with a keeper pin on the outside to keep the quick hitch hook from slipping off the hitch pin/bushing; OR.... simply redesign the bushing with a thinner collar on both ends. The quick hitch does not vary in width, so there would be no danger of the implement slipping off one side or the other. This way, the bushing is easily removable and can be used on many implements, rather than semi-permanently mounted to individual implements. This would accomplish two things: 1- you only need one set of bushings (although the manufacturer and dealer would love to sell you multiple sets), and 2- allows use of the implement in the normal way on a standard 3-point hitch that doesn't have a quick hitch in place. Just give the implement's pin a light coat of oil or grease to keep the bushing from rusting in place if left in the weather for long periods.
Would be nice if they are quickly removable. I'm struggling to see how with this design though.
I just bought colar bushings for all my implements makes it so easy and in the long run it’s cheaper 1. No bending over changing bushings helps your back and no cuts or nicks on hands . 2 . I can just pull up to all of my implements grab and go Time is money 💵 Priceless.
3. With Amazon , eBay , Tractor supply , harbor freight ya can find deals on bushings so cost is not that bad and they fit right. 4. no extra pins or washers to bend or loose and as we all know tractors love to eat pins and clips almost every other job they seem to eat one or two , cuts down on the amount pins to feed your tractor with the roll pinned bushings . And with a brush hog mower or a tiller or blade they jump around more than a box blade per say so seems a lil colar is a good thing IMHO
I have a Landpride QuickHitch that came with my John Deere 3320 I bought it used so is what I Got and I gotta say I’m not a big fan I had to change the top hook for a different one to work on all my attachments was like it didn’t stick out far enough bought a few of them a lil trial and error but finally found one I think amazon that works great. So there’s a million combinations out there it comes down to what works for you there’s no right or wrong just I think it’s great we are all on our tractor getting it done boys !
@@chrisspence3216 so are you saying you just use the regular bushings with the d-ring pins wasn't quite following
I got the same quick hitch on my 1969 ford 4000 loader tractor
Nice!
I’d get one of those quick hitches for my tiller problem is it’s off set not center so that wouldn’t work. Good video thanks
Y'all sure have lots of eye candy - just like looking at the Sears and Roebuck catalog when I was a kid. Lots of wishful thinking and no real Santa Claus,!! LOL - have a great day!!
I didnt see a link to the adapter bushings on Amazon, did I miss something??
How wide is the opening that attaches to the draft arm I purchased a I match for a category 1 and 2 That’s to small for the draft arm ball about a 1/4 to small I was wondering if a lot of I match hitches have this problem?
You could drop the quick hitch on its face on the ground and raise one leg at the time. Just a thought.
Would be nice to have working by yourself all the time
I noticed the last attachment you picked up was on a pallet. Does it not work from the ground? I can’t get my imatch to go low enough to pick up a ballast box.
Just bought a 3043d, do you think I could run a MX 6? Lift cap is 2100lbs , cutter is 1100. 38 hp to the pto
Lots of good info on your channel, please use the correct hammer, thanks!!!
Just use what’s on hand, it gets the job done.
I have a LT 155 tractor, the mower deck is worn out & needs replacing do you have a source??? The sand has made the deck steel paper thin & some holes in it.
I don't have a source unfortunately.
Not ever used one of these but am looking in to getting one. One question I have is, what keeps the top/center link connection from disengaging from the quick attach. Nothing there to hold it in place. For instance, pushing dirt or rocks with a blade turned backwards. Looks to me like that top/center connection would jump out?
The bottom mechanism keeps the implement from lifting up which makes it impossible for the top link to pop out. However, if you have a mower or other implement with a floating or pivoting top link you have to swap out the top hook for the clevis style connector he showed at the beginning of the video. Although he had it backwards
What were they thinking. Speeco 2nd edition. Chevy orange. I have to go measure.
I bought the SpeeCo Cat 1 E-Hitch Quick Hitch and it didn’t come with bushings. Should I have ordered them separately?
Just installed this hitch, then my finish mower, someone told me I will have to buy a new--longer PTO shaft, is that true?
So if I put one of those on my JD 755, I can potentially use newer and greater variety of cat 1 attachments ? If so, where could I see a list of attachments that would work?
Yes, this will make it easier. You may still need to do some adjustments to get the quick hitch, especially if you have implements from different companies, but it does increase your flexibility and easier overall to attach almost any implements.
So the "floating top link" would replace the hook ...... and allow connecting a 4 weel finish mower to the Quick Hitch?
I used a motorcycle jack to move the Quick Hitch into position for install.
Is it possible to put a category 1 quick hitch on a category 0
Good question, not sure of the answer.
wish you had extended your video and included more on the floating top link. What happens to the top arm on the three point hitch from the tractor? If you install as you implied in the video. It will not pick up the implement up without the top being attached to the tractor will it. Wouldn't the hitch just tip over toward the implement you are trying to pick up? I may not being understanding the floating top link correctly.
Sorry for the confusion. I had it shown reverse. Was trying to keep the camera on it and didn't pay attention to orientation of the floating adapter. If you put the forked end towards the tractor, you can then attach it through the same pin as the quick hitch and tractor top link. Does that make more sense?
Fwiw, the floating top link installs towards the tractor, making it easier to connect the top link on the tractor to the quick attach as opposed to installing towards the implement.
Where is the link for the bushings?
Does it matter if u buy cat1 or cat2 bushings for attachments
Cat 2 is normal size but still has slack/play in it. A cat3 will fit tighter.
Do u have an Rt 3062 tillers. I can't get mine to work with my imatch. I think they sent the wrong side mounts
No, I don't. Some of the mounts on the tillers are bolted so you can slide them left to right.
Would this cat 1 fit on my John Deere 2035e??
Yes, I think you mean a 3025e? Or perhaps a 2305? Either way, it will fit both of those models.
Other than your attachment being sloppy, what happens if you don’t add the bushings?
I would expect some attachments to fall right out of the quick hitch due to the excessive amount of play.
Thanks
You shouldn't have much more than 0.010" play in order to minimize wear n tear
HOW MUCH DO THEY COST
Hmmm.......
Rear forks will lift 1500 pounds for 250. Bucks. Cost per pound is cheap.
I just use my rake with a quick hitch with no bushing.... clink clank spank!
Floor jack..

Bam - 1st
😂 where ya at Mark?
@@GoodWorksTractors im 2nd in command today !! Out on the mower....lol....WITH...my coffee
@@GoodWorksTractors right here !!
Look at u goo.....lol
Haha! Stripe it up!
The why is - they switched Manufacturers. The hitch is now exactly like the Harbor Freight Hitch.
*I do hate when a Seller makes unsubstantiated claims without a side by side comparison. Again, this hitch you are demoing is EXACTLY comparable to the Harbor Freight Quick Hitch, in every way. Gusseting, weight and all.
