As a rookie tractor owner, new at every single bit - I highly appreciate listening to your experience. Love the calm and polite approach in your instructions and explanations. Looking forward to many more video's :)

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for following along!

[@larsrodbok1285]

You have a great “dad” vibe, very easy to watch and listen. Never mind you are younger that I am. :)

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Haha. Well I’m still a dad. Much appreciated 🤣

[@fredsites5723]

stayed for the video but subscribed for the band tip. love it, thanks

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Fred!

[@ajsnowskis]

Best quick hitch video I have watched. Thanks for taking the time. Your audio is excellent too!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you!

[@bradleyebling1464]

Don’t know if It’s been mentioned or not but land pride makes two top link plates that form a floating top link.

[@RandyBeretta-db5bg]

Taking your time is Great.! Everything seems to fall in place when you do and your less likely to get hurt or damage something.! 🤔

[@t26803]

quick hitch is the BOOM as the kids say !

[@t26803]

I forgot to mention I have the Harbor freight QH and have used the heck out of it with no issues. Even with the pounding of rocks on the tiller and I have Rocks! Big Rocks and lots of them and this thing has held up well. So why spend the money on the so called name brand when I could get 4 of the harbor freight ones for less than one name brand? I just don't HATE my money that much.

[@johnzvara4389]

Versatile top link attachment helps greatly for implements that are not Q.H . Ready. I bought mine on Amazon $27.99.

[@dalestevens4683]

When you are using your finish mower move the hook on your quick hitch up to the top holes and it will work....I know it's kinda a pain to move back and forth...but it's easier than hooking to the tractor I know it will work because I have one.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much!

[@TomBTerrific]

I tried moving the hook to the top bolt holes but it didn’t help. I have a Bush Hog RDTH 60 finish mower.

[@stevebernas5905]

For the finish mower, you need a floating arm extension. Check out the land price cat 1 implements\finish mower … it shows it there. It allows the mower to follow the ground contour

[@jeffsaunders4785]

I learn something every time I watch your videos. Keep em coming !

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks so much!

[@spolz2231]

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

[@keithzoeteman4864]

nice to see Hotch give the tail wag of approval. I’m going to get one. Glad to hear you can use the 20% coupon.

[@edwcory]

I just bought a LandPride RTR 40” tiller and the included driveshaft was 3” too long to fit on my Kubota BX2380’s category 1 hitch. I watched your video right before heading to Harbor Freight to buy their quick attach and I do believe they revised the top hook to give it more clearance/distance. Working like a charm now! Thanks for your video, very helpful for me!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome to hear, Ed. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy the tiller!

[@fadofox11]

Looks like you need the Cat.1 to Cat. 2 or 3 bushings for you implements. they will make the implements fit more snug into the QH.

[@hectortn4]

I would like to thank you for your videos their very helpful and informative. It prompted me to choose the best B2601 I had b7500 for over 24 years. Love my new B2601. I've had it since May 2022. Thank you for your great videos.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Hector. Congrats and good luck! -Ed

I just picked mine up at HF in Plano, TX. Heading g down to my "Back Acres" outside Corsicana. Glad I found your site here. At almost 80, I need all the help I can get. Tired of using "Pry Bars, blood & sweat trying to hookup my stuff.

great review on the quick hitch thanks for sharing have a great day

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much, Tom!

[@otisbailey5455]

Didn't think I wanted one before watching video. May give one a try.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Super handy!

[@gebronthomasson6960]

Thanks for the share..put your implements on pallets or something like it..

[@royhoco5748]

tip - I keep a 5' pry bar or piece of pipe with my attachments for making minor adjustments if the attachment does not line up just right or the lift arms do not want to come off the pins easily, especially useful if not using a quick hitch. the bar provides leverage to lift something up a little or move it side to side a inch or two.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

roy hoco - very good idea! Thanks for watching.

[@Bobbywilliamson-sh2em]

Been shopping harbor freight for years. Great prices and good merchandise. ❤

[@raytremblay3200]

Thanks for the advice !!!!!

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513]

Thanks for mentioning the price for the Land Pride quick hitch very helpful information

[@johnenwright8617]

I picked up the same one. Instead of putting bushings on all of my implements, I found a couple pieces of pipe with an ID of 3/4”for the top and 7/8” for the bottom. I cut the pipe in half lengthwise and then in half the same width of the hooks and welded them into the bottom of the hooks like shims/saddles so when the standard pin lays in the bottom it mates up firmly. It works perfect. Seemed to make more sense to modify one part instead of several others.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks John. That’s a really smart idea! -Ed

[@tractortheoutdoors5148]

You got a picture of that setup

[@jodywiseley]

I'm going to order and install Pat's easy hitch to my New Holland.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I made a video about the pats easy change also. I like it!

Hello Ed from Northern Virginia, just subscribed. Take Care and be Safe 🚜🪵🇺🇸

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated!

[@TomBTerrific]

I’ve got the harbor freight quick hitch. I thought it was good enough until I tried to hook up my bush hog RDTH 60 finish mower which is the most common implement I use. The same issue you had with your. I also needed to go buy some bushings for the bottom two links. Update- I was speaking with a friend and he recommended buying a longer top link. I’m going to give that a try ! Hopefully that will work.

[@kelleypack1000]

Put the blade of the bucket on the ground and use the joy stick to move the tractor back and forth when hooking an implement.

[@johnlong3102]

You were showing how the Harbor Freight quick hitch worked. I have a Massey Ferguson GC 1725M and I use the Pat's quick hitch. I really like them.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I think the Pats system looks great. I haven’t tried one yet. Thanks for watching.

[@rexdelong9447]

like your channel, I got a new top hook for my HF quick hitch on Amazon, its about 3/4 further out than the one that comes with it,it fit perfect no drilling needed, fit like a glove.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’ve heard about that new hook. Might have to give it a shot. Thanks so much for watching. -Ed

[@rgrubbs]

Have a link for it you don’t mind sharing?

[@KenAmmon]

Thanks for your videos. I just installed a HF Quick Connect on my B2601. It went on quicker and easier than I expected. I'm glad I watched your video first before renting a rototiller, the quick hitch will be a welcome attachment and looks like it should make attaching the rototiller much, much easier. I was dreading having to finagle that thing on and off. Keep up the great work Ed!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Ken. It will make a BIG difference!

[@gregbakke8296]

Great honest review. I'm looking at getting my first compact tractor and a rear quick hitch seems like a must.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

It makes a BIG difference with many attachments. Thanks for watching.

[@BH-wt7im]

Some quick hitches out there have a flat bar that pins in above the hook and then pins to the top of the 3pt for situations like your finish mower. If you can find a fabrication shop in your area, they could probably fix you right up. I don’t have a quick hitch personally because I have many old attachments and some homemade that would have to be modified to work but I’m working in that direction. Thanks for the great content.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much. Good info!

[@neilwatts629]

For the center link for a quick hitch install a ball attachment at this point. You should be able to by this a tractor supply or any ag dealer they come in different sizes to fit the quick attachment.

[@jimbennett1519]

I got the Pat’s quick hitch system about 6 years ago and have no regrets and would do it again. Real EZ too hook my implements up and all my implements it matters not

[@forry100]

Problem with Pat's is you still have to get off to hook top link.

[@jimbennett1519]

@@forry100 yeah that is very difficult lol

[@kylerayk]

I have 2 quick hitches. A Harbor Freight QH on the old Farmall C and a Farm Hand by Lee on the Kubota M5660. The HF QH has been in use for about 6 years and has functioned very well after I made a few "adjustments". First one was the top hook situation. I welded a block on the backside and re-drilled the holes so that the hook projects out from the QH frame by 3/4"-1"...can't recall at this time how wide I made the block. This made all the difference in the world and I see that Ken's Bolt On Hooks now offers an aftermarket top hook for the HFQH. I also replaced the bolts that hold the top hook with quick pins. The second situation that I discovered just last year is that the lower pins supplied with the HFQH are too small. By this I mean that they are less than 7/8" diameter which is the CAT I standard. I believe that they measured 20mm (0.787") so they were sloppy in the swivelly balls on the draft arms. To correct this, I bought a new set of CAT I lower pins from Blain's Farm and Fleet and then modified them to fit into some new tabs that I made from flat stock with a bend in them to wrap around the QH frame just like the original ones. Next, I drilled out the holes in the QH to 29/32". Reassembled everything and no more sloppy fit. The Farm Hand by Lee is bullet proof right out of the box and will fit a CAT I or II tractor, has an extended top hook with quick pins, has a welded on 5/16" grab hook on each side, and 3 Reese Hitch sockets welded on that you can affix bale spears or any number of things limited only by your imagination. It came with a box full of pins and bushings and the fork type attachment for use with implements such as your finish mower with the floating top connection. Made in the USA for $687. As you discovered, bushings are necessary for the lower pins to fit properly in the QH. SpeeCo now makes a QH with lower hooks that fit 7/8" pins directly with no bushings required so it can save you a bunch of money in bushings if you have several CAT I implements. I am a machinist so all my bushings I make myself and are FREE.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

My first job was in a machine shop. Such a great trade. Thanks for sharing! -Ed

[@garyolson7021]

I bought a extended top hook from Amazon. Cured a number of quick hitch issues.

[@mdh7812]

I have a SpeeCo E-Hitch which doesn't need the adapters/bushings. I paid right at $130 for it. One of the best things that I have gotten for my Kubota L3901DT.

[@zoomzoomboomboom]

Where did you get the SpeeCo for $130? I just bought the same tractor, except it’s HST.

[@1990notch]

The SpeeCo E-Hitch is about $400 everywhere I've looked. You must have bought it a long time ago.

[@NHHalKnowsHow]

If you're looking for frustration, try attaching the backhoe on uneven ground. That was so frustrating I almost picked it up with my bucket and took it to the driveway. I'll never take it off on an odd angle again! I have the Kubota B2920. I love it!

[@tennray]

Dont feel alone!!! same thing before and find a flat piece of ground in middle Tennessee!

[@curtiscampbell4735]

Get a hydraulic cylinder to replace the manual toplink and tilt all the way out when attaching tilt back in while lifting 3 point and it will slide right In

[@darryldoty5879]

At the end you should include the PTO shaft 4 inch extension. Thanks for the information.

[@jameskeough4620]

Thanks for the vid. Well done.

[@randycooper2046]

I have the land pride version and I have pins, not bolts, in the upper hook. If you arise that hook up higher it will work just fine with the finish mower and the pins make it quick and easy.

[@jtyler780]

Share your frustration with the rotor tiller connection. Absolutely maddening. You said, “now all that is left is connecting the PTO”. That is one of the hardest things to do.

[@k6outdoors]

Many people good give feedback on the harbor freight hitch. Great stuff!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks!

[@imageguyimageguy1316]

on the mower. move the pin on the end to the middle and raise the quick hitch top hook higher? maybe

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’ll take another look at this. Thanks for watching.

[@dougsmith1622]

There are adapter sleeves that you put over your category 1 pins to make them fit the cat. 2 hooks on your quick hitch. They cost around $40.00 for a pair. You will need a pair for each implement you want to attach to your quick hitch.

[@kevinklingner3098]

That's what the adjustable top link is for you may need to adjust in or out a long way. You may need to hit parts with gas torch or angle grinder.

[@adamganong683]

Great video. Thank you.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Adam!

[@119topdawg]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Good to know that putting a box blade on a cat 1 3 pt is a significant life event for others as well…😂

[@MyClutteredGarage]

🤣🤣🤣

[@HardyBrothersOutdoors]

when not using the quick hitch, try adding a spud bar to your arsenal for man handling and pushing/pulling attachments... works really well.

[@jimmielittle877]

What's a spud bar?

[@HardyBrothersOutdoors]

@@jimmielittle877 google spud bar. It’s a long steel bar that in my reference above you’d put against the ground and use leverage to shift and move the heavy piece of equipment... I show it in episode #49 on my channel.

[@jimmielittle877]

Thx

[@garryquiggins8183]

I just use a 6ft 2x4, works fine and there's also one around.

[@TheTenthManOnYoutube]

I'm not knocking the quick hitch but anyone considering needs to check out Pat's Quick Change. It's simpler, and more versatile because the spacing isn't fixed. Add Mark Hodge's telescoping stabilizer and it's even better. It will cost more, but will connect to anything.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’m familiar with Pats Quick Hitch and I’d definitely like to look into that. Thanks for watching.

[@johnburk9157]

The better quick hitch is a pats quick attach, it works on a much larger variety of attachments and doesn't block access to attach your pto shaft.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I got one!

[@number1hvac]

I don’t know if you have seen it or if someone already mentioned it in the comments, but you can buy a deeper casted too hook on Amazon for 45 bucks. That’s half the price of what I paid for the QH but if it means I can hook up all my implements then I’m still happy. It will be here on Friday and I’ll update you if you like. Great videos!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much. I recently bought an extended hook from Ken’s bolt hooks. Makes a big difference!

[@number1hvac]

Good deal!

I cannot get the top link to latch either it falls off when I raise it up, the back wheels are on the ground I'm going to talk to the dealer about it June 5th, 23. I also have a FD1560 not a quick hitch, I had to buy a adapter kit for that one [witch can be made ]. I just got WC68 Thursday and it hooks up easy to that too. I hope you might have it figured out by now . take care

[@MDR-hn2yz]

I just got this quick hitch from Harbor Freight. Well worth the $120 I spent. Feels solid, locks up nicely and was a breeze to install. I just need to set up my attachments.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Mine is holding up well! Thanks for watching.

[@JF-wz3oo]

My JD 855 would NOT work with the Pat’s quick hitch. It tilted to the outside enough that I could not make a hookup. I got the Harbor Freight hitch and it works with all of my old implements and my new wood chipper. I bought the PTO extender like you did. I also got a couple of cat 1 to cat 2 bushings. I have an old Agric tiller that works great with the Harbor Freight hitch. The Pat’s hitch cost me several hours trying to attach that tiller with no luck. I sent it back. The Harbor Freight hitch gives me flexibility I never had before.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi Joss. Thanks for your comments. I replaced the top hook on the harbor freight QH with one from Ken’s Bolt On Hooks. It made a great difference. I still can’t use my finish mower with it, but the finish mower is easy to hook up anyway. Thanks for watching! -Ed

Hi run a John Deere 2038R and I bought that I match hitch from John Deere I believe in buying the name brands I have no problem hooking up implement with my tractor

[@hectortn4]

I would like to inform you of the PTO LINK company has an easy to quick connect for your equipment and it does interfere with the pto shafts.

[@wlsteffen]

One more thing, while mowing grass with the loader on I was lucky enough to see the loader pin on my B2601 fell out. I was very lucky to have no damage. What I did I went to Fleet Farm store an bought 2 shaft collars for less then $2.00 a piece. The shaft collars are 1/2” thick 1” in diameter with a 7/16 hole. I put this on the bottom of the 3/8 shaft and tightened the set screw. Now the is no chance the pin can come out. I’ve seem Other people wasn’t as lucky as I was and had considerable damage to the tractor. Wayne from Wisconsin

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good catch, Wayne! Thanks very much. -Ed

[@liamsherwood7507]

I really liked this review. I thoroughly identify with your comments and approach having experienced many of the same frustrations and learnings (by doing and failing). Your comments about being on a flat surface is key. I have a home in the Adirondack Mountains and have almost no flat land. So I have learned the hard way.

I'm glad you had luck with your quick hitch. I bought mine on amazon. It's sitting in the corner of my garage collecting dust. Won't work on anything I have.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Sorry to hear. You know Amazon has a great return policy. Thanks for watching.

[@flash1259]

My first experience with the quick attach was the old Farmall 300 2 pt. hitch row crop tractor. I didn't check out the quick attach because I just assumed all my old equipment wouldn't work with it. When I finally broke down and replaced my old Ford 6600 with a Kubota 3901 and got tired of fighting the equipment to hook it up by myself I finally got the tape measure out. I got lucky and realized my assumptions were wrong and the few pieces of equipment that I have would work. I bought a used quick attach for $200 and used bolts on the bottom links and double nutted them. It turns out I could have bought a new quick attach at the place where I bought the tractor for around $30 more that came with the bottom pins. Oh well, at least I also didn't have to pay taxes on the used one.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for watching, Joel.

[@joesteinke8760]

Pro tip move that top hook out and weld it . Works great then .

[@Theywaswrong]

That Harbor Freight upper hook is a well known problem, but it can be overcome if you want a cheap quick hitch. There are hooks on the market that also fix it. What is puzzling is this has been a problem with the HF quick hitch now for years and you would think they would modify the hook. But there are ways to get around the hook problem without spending money.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks. You would think they would correct it, but maybe retooling is too expensive for them.

[@henryrangel7354]

I just got one of thooand the upper hook won't link up to the pin on my land pride shredder...any ideas

[@jrbrumley9334]

Hi, I have a B1550 Kubota and I have a rototiller that hooks very similar to yours. I don't have a quick hitch and you are 100% right, it is terrible to hook up. A problem that I think I might have is that my lower arms on the Kubota won't "spread" very wide and will have to do some measuring to see if this would work for my machine. This is a great video and you did a good job showing and explaining the quick hitch and how it works. Thanks, J.R.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you for your kind comments. -Ed

[@dougsmith1622]

Well, I see you have already bought the adapter sleeves. Forget my earlier comment.

[@michaelbreshears3745]

On the finish mower you most likely need to move the hook up on the quick hitch so it grabs the bar tightly and doesn't allow it to roll out when lifting

[@hectortn4]

I was wondering if you tried the PTO Link quick connect attachment. I'm a below elbow amputee and I just purchased one for my Kubota B2601 and a 5ft land pride finishing mower. The normal way is very difficult with my prosthesis. I've been an Amputee for 33 years and I'm always looking for something to make things simpler and easier.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi Hector. I have not tried that product but I've seen it advertised. That must be very difficult for you. I'd be curious about your opinion of the PTO Link if you use it.

[@peterskowronski6248]

Did you figure out the finish mower connection? You need to reconfigure the top-link assembly on the mower

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Peter. The finish mower is so easy to connect without the quick hitch, that I haven't bothered. Thanks for checking in! -Ed

[@tater357]

New to implements and found out first hand how aggravating the heavier items can be, especially the older I get. Work smarter not harder. Thanks for the detailed explanations and so far, how if your harbor freight quick hitch coming along? Have you had to switch to a different quick connect yet? Small Gardner would like to know.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

The "cheap" harbor freight quick hitch is still going strong! I did get a replacement top hook from boltonhooks.com which made a big difference! Still can't use the finish mower unless I buy a special connector, but it's easy to hook up anyway. Thank you!

I bought a rural king quick hitch.

Do you mean the PTO extension? There is a link in the description. Thank you. Here’s a direct link too: amzn.to/3LQPCWH

[@deanbarr5740]

Thank you so much for your quick hitch experience. I'm having the same issues. I probably over paid for mine. I ordered my hitch when i purchased the tractor from the dealership. I never thought about picking up an extension for the PTO. I use the my hitch on some of my implements but for my older implements the driveshafts are 8"-10" to short. Your video fixes my problems. New subscriber "here" thank you very much.

[@bobbennett3153]

I have had old implements that do not itch so I have went to the pat EZ hitch this allows me to use a post hole digger all other implement

[@OO-by2jl]

Could you weld a spacer on the top hook and extend it out the 3/4 of a inch? You would just have to redrill some holes.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you. I’ve heard of some modifications like this. You can also buy a better top hook on Amazon.

[@keithrayeski3147]

Of course that’s all negated if you have a subframe backhoe attached? Still, worth the investment at more than three times less…it’ll work just fine!! Great video!

[@leslieapplegate65]

When I bought my tractor, I had the QH added on because I knew I wouldn't be able to hitch the implements up, otherwise. As long as I get it lined up properly, it falls right into place.

Thanks for the informative video. I was looking at the quick attach hitches and was thinking of the Harbor Freight unit as it was much cheaper than the other name brands. I see that the hitches are all pretty much the same design and your demo helped me make up my mind. I just subscribed and really like your style of presentation.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Stan. I hope HF modifed the top hook. That's really the only problem I've had with it. You can get a replacement top hook from boltonhooks.com if you need. Much appreciated. -Ed

[@realairplane261]

Quick hitch is nice, but since I have a concrete floor and all of my attachments are under a roof, I put all of my equipment on dollies. Makes it easy to attach without a quick hitch.

Can you offer a source for the Dollie’s that you use for your attachments. Furniture Dollie’s maybe? Thank you in advance!

Tim, I got lucky and found out that a local manufacturing company was selling some of their on floor carts. They are 30 inches by 48 inches and have 8 inch casters. I found mine by going to the factories and just asking. They are all square steel tubing and with a few changes they work well. I have about 15 of them and did not pay more than $10 a piece.

Just came across your channel and subsequently subscribed. Some interesting info on there as I have been considering buying a sub compact tractor. I am on just shy of 3 acres so not sure if I really need one rather than just want one. Anyway, I enjoyed learning from you learning. Greeting from Scotland by the way. Thanks again, keep up the good work.

Thank you for your kind comments. I think you need a compact or subcompact tractor 😉 Glad to welcome you! -Ed
