You probably figured it out by now, but the large nuts on the pins are lock nuts. You run the pins into the hitch, then tighten the locknut down to the side of the hitch to secure the pins.
I don't think I understand what you're asking. The tractor itself has the three point attachment in the back which connects to a land pride branded quick attachment system. From there the heavy hitch weight bracket utilizes the quick attach system via the top hook and the two saddles on each side. The weight bracket does not extend any lower than the lowest point of the quick attachment. Hopefully that makes sense to you the way I'm describing it. The difficulty is that there are multiple attachments and that is specific to each attachment being the exact same. I am pride has three different quick attachment systems, and you can get weight brackets from different manufactures.
@@scottwalker19 thanks for the reply. I was going to build a diy version of this, but i decided to buy lead and poured it in ammo cans. I built a 3p attachment with the ammo can carriers... I am able to ballast 900lbs this way with just 8 ammo cans. I spent about 600 dlls including lead, a pickup hitch and some scrap metal.
I picked my weights up from a local tractor dealer. It was the same place that I bought my tractor but I am sure all tractor dealers can order them. I had a hard time finding some used as there were only a few people selling at the time and they knew the value of what the had. My dealer actually had a book with all of the different weights that are made and I just choose from there since I was having a hard time explaining to them what I was looking for. The weights that fit on the Heavy Hitch are very basic suitcase weights (just the weight and then one slot on the side, reference the Heavy Hitch Website). Depending on the Heavy Hitch that you have you will be limited to the 40 lbs or you can go up to 70 lbs (i think, around that) on the one that I have. I hope that helps. As everyone says having rear ballast on these smaller tractors is a must. The only time I take the weights off is when I need to run an implement.
I also own a new bx2380 and my (condescending) dealer really wants to sell me the QH05. I wanted the 10 or the 15. Why did you put a QH15? How is it working out for you, do you recomend that model? I know it's just a nominal weight difference and in my mind that's a plus. I also plan on the HeveyHitch offset model. Tks mutch.
The dealers can be very ignorant when it comes to sales. The try and sell you what they think is best instead of what you want and think is best for yourself. I got the QH15 mainly because of the adjustability of the top link hook as well as the versatility it offers to hook up and rear implement. The QH05 is nice in the fact that it can be used without leaving the tractor seat but it is probably only guaranteed to be compatible with a select amount of Land Pride Implements. Once you go for aftermarket implements you can run into compatibility issues so the QH15 is the way to go in my opinion. I have been happy with it.
@@brettknoss486 I am still not sure if you original comment was a question or a statement. Are you recommending that Heavy Hitch sell that option you mentioned?
@@brettknoss486 got it! I do not work for them so that would be something you can make them aware of. They may not be willing to compete in that market

Where did u get the weights
Can you please give me the measurement from the top of the horizontal square tubing to the bottom of the weight carrier? Thanks

Where did you get your weights? I've looked for used ones and it isn't super clear to me which ones will work. Thanks for sharing.

Nice!
How tall is it from the bottom of the square tube to the top of where you hang the weights please? Thanks
I could measure but I would say a little more than 12" maybe 15-18 inches.
@@scottwalker19 thanks

Where do I get those weights for those
You can order some from Heavy Hitch’s website or you could check a local tractor dealer and get them from there.
It should come in a Cat 3N, for use with a baler.
I am not familiar with that.
@@scottwalker19 A cat 3N hitch is rated to lift about 10,000 lbs.

Nice setup! Where did you get your weights and how much?
Thanks! I got them from my local tractor dealer
