What is your opinion of the Speeco Quick hitch? I like the idea of not needing bushings? I have a 2011 JD 4320 and am interested in getting a Quick hitch. What do you recommend? Keep up the great videos!
Once you use an A frame quick hitch ALL others become obsolete. Seriously how could any engineer/farmer not immediately realize how easily a triangle fits inside a triangle that has the bottom missing? And 1 pin on the top holds everything together to produce down pressure. And if you buy the part that fits on the tractor any school AG shop can easily make the parts for each implement. Let's support our local FFA. IF you still have one.
Have been using HF for a few years now. Based on your video, Mine is built better than most. Retired on a budget, this unit fits the ticket. All of the 4 rear attachments are easy peasy on and off! Love our Quick Hitch!
Love my quick hitch, makes hook up sooooo much easier. Adding a hydraulic top link makes it even easier. Had to modify some of my older implements, but once done I was good to go. Good video.
I've got the harbor freight quick hitch (2 actually). I've modified them with a 5/16 grab hook on one of the rear braces, a 4" diameter pvc pipe mounted on the side (to hold my chain), and a shackle on the other rear brace. I can now easily carry my chain, and have more points to connect rope, straps, and the chain to when needing drag or pull things.
Corey, a quick and easy way to get an exact center to center measurement when dealing with two identical thicknesses of material such as your quick hitch side frames or two before wall studs etc is to measure from the inside of one to the outside of the other that gives you an exact center to center measurement.
I agree, however by showing the center to center, it eliminates folks thinking I'm measuring incorrectly. It's amazing the things that start to go through your mind once you start making UA-cam videos. Much of my focus goes into what will provide the least amount of critique from viewers. Haha! Thanks for watching!
Great video, very informative. I consider these a must have, i sure don't miss rocking the tractor, or prying on that plow with a 6 foot pry bar to get hooked up.
Great information. I like the features of the worksaver and especially the fact that its made in the USA. But struggling to justify the much higher cost. I had the same struggle with my purchase of pallet forks and in that case chose a product that was at least half the cost of jd and they have served me well for 4 years. I dont mind paying a premium for an American product but some companies don't even try to be competitive.
Its not about being cost competitive. Its about a higher quality standard of product and paying a living wage to someone who pays for their family. Not a communist country who pays a fraction to the worker.
Thanks for this informative video! I still don't understand why the cat 1 quick hitch is meant to hook with 1 1/8" cat 2 pins... Both cat 1 and cat 2 implements have different dimensions that do not allow for any interchangeability. Thanks!
The class 1 quick attach require those adapters in most cases, cause they make the bottom attach locations class 2 size :-( I found a piece of pipe with the correct ID & OD, drilled attach holes & Bobs your uncle, saved $50 a set on the adapters. You could also get class 2 pins & possible change them on your equip to if they are removable.
Question : I bought a used quick hitch that don’t fit my needs mainly because I did not ask the right questions so my question is . Is their one quick hitch that will work on both class 1 and 2 implements ?
Good Video. It's too bad that Cat-1 implements can't adhere to the Cat-1 standard. Past experience has shown that Cat-2, Cat-3N, Cat-3, and Cat-4 implements actually are pretty much standardized. There are a number of Cat-3, and Cat-4 implements that can ONLY be used with a quick hitch as the pins on the implement are not removable.
Does anyone make Category 1 Quick hitch that does not require bushing for implements? didn't someone but they discontinued it? great info, thank's for the video
Why my hitch didn’t work. I measured the width of the lifting arms on the tractors lower arms and the ball size was to wide to fit into the quick hitch bottom opening on the frame So now i cant use the quick hitch .do you have any videos showing complete connection on a TC55DA tractor? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I have a tractor that kind of falls between the territory of Category 1 and Category 2 implements. Would I have to buy two quick hitches, or is there a variant that allows use of both? Possibly a hack for a category 2 hitch so I can use category 1 implements on it?
I think they leave a hitch receiver for clearance of PTO shafts, John Deere imatch has an option of a "quick hitch/imatch(with bushings)" compatible hitch receiver bracket www.greenpartstore.com/Heavy-Duty-3-Point-Receiver-Hitch-LP25001.html
Just picked up an 1952 8N tractor. Would this work? Inside spacing between lower pins is around 27 inches. (Does this classify my 3pt hitch as a class 3?)
Can anyone tell me the difference between a Cat 2 and Cat 3 quick hitch? I can't seem to find any decent info online. Can a Cat 2 quick hitch fit on a JD 3232e?
@@GoodWorksTractors I pulled out the manual and it states that it is set up as a Cat 2 with 1 1/8" hitch pins and 1" holes in top of mast. Most (if not all) of what I am doing does not use Cat 2 implements. So same question as before...which hitch would you recommend ? Thanks
you can add two strips of 1/8" x 1" flat bar rolled and stacked on one another, and install them (tack) in the lugs, to make them a Cat 1 vs using bushings. followed this guys post .www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/425331-converting-cat-2-quick-hitch.html#post5732370 or use this www.speedymetals.com/pc-3447-8242-1-18-od-x-120-wall-dom-steel-tube.aspx and split pieces in 2 shells

Correct, stuff from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's most likely won't work. Quick hitches have been around for about 20 years, so more and more attachments are quick hitch compatible with probably 95% of attachments now made being compatible.

Why do some implements say they are NOT compatible with imatch?

Honestly, I don't understand it either. Hopefully I can find the reasonsing behind it someday.

I have a JD X758 with a front quick hitch, do you Know if they make a front attachment with a ball hitch receiver?
Question : I bought a used quick hitch that don’t fit my needs mainly because I did not ask the right questions so my question is . Is their one quick hitch that will work on both class 1 and 2 implements ?
Great video. How much longer of a reach does the PTO shaft need to have once the quick hitch is installed?
Roughly 3-4" longer. Shouldn't be an issue for most PTO shafts as there's quite a bit of overlap.
Good Video. It's too bad that Cat-1 implements can't adhere to the Cat-1 standard. Past experience has shown that Cat-2, Cat-3N, Cat-3, and Cat-4 implements actually are pretty much standardized.

Do you have a category 2 hitch and cat 2 three point or cat 1 hitch and cat 1 three point?
Great job! Thanks for the info. Which hitch to you recommend? lol
Speeco has been a big hit in recent months!
I have a tractor that kind of falls between the territory of Category 1 and Category 2 implements. Would I have to buy two quick hitches, or is there a variant that allows use of both? Possibly a hack for a category 2 hitch so I can use category 1 implements on it?
Not sure, I wasn't aware of tractors that were both classes?
@@GoodWorksTractors quite a few, actually. The one in question here is a John Deere 620 Two Cylinder
Does any of the quick hitch come with a receiver hitch? I think some one needs to add that to it. That would make those a lot more versatile!
No, I don't sell any that offer that feature.
I think they leave a hitch receiver for clearance of PTO shafts, John Deere imatch has an option of a "quick hitch/imatch(with bushings)" compatible hitch receiver bracket

Hi, the category 1 Worksaver is perfect
Just picked up an 1952 8N tractor. Would this work? Inside spacing between lower pins is around 27 inches. (Does this classify my 3pt hitch as a class 3?)
I'm not sure if it would work. Look up the specs on the 8n
Excellant review.

Thank you sir!
call me crazy but I think you used the adjustable top link backwards... at least how I use it. The HF hitch works fine.
I suppose it could be used the other way, but seems more stable this way. Thanks for watching!
of subject...I know you just bought the clock....you interested in parting with it?
Haha no thank you.
Thanks great information
Has anyone used the Speeco one on a JD2520?
Also will the Speeco work on the JD2520?
