Nothing wrong with being able to adapt and overcome😊

[@user-hr3je3wb6t]

Good tips, I’ll check out your channel. Thanks

[@JelenOutDoors]

It's good to be resourceful to be able to make mods to better suit your needs, well done.

[@seeunow44]

Thanks found the description…appreciate your patience and I now buy the HF quick attachment

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

No problem. Glad I could help

[@chrisandsteve5238]

Great video, thanks for posting all the links for the small parts. I had no idea that the cat 3 to 2 to 1 bushings were even a thing. You saved me a LOT of time. Thanks!

[@Skyhawk945]

This issue i found with the HF quick hitch is its not category 1 compliant due to the undersize lift pins. It's really a category 0 hitch unless you modify the lift pins.

[@oby-1607]

Great answers for this attachment.

[@jimnunes6286]

A lot of good common sense ideas, thank you!

[@2010mannw]

Quick hitch, quick attach loader bucket, cab tractor and hydraulic top link. Brother you’re living my dream! Lol

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Everything but the cab haha. I chose a backhoe instead for the same cost.

[@2010mannw]

@@meadsoutdooradventures don’t know how I watched 3/4 of this video, saw the tractor most of the time, but swore it had a cab lol

[@augustinhernandez1581]

You were very helpful

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

Glad I could assist

[@stevekrewson9502]

I just milled out a 1/4 in and added 1/4 inch flat strap to back side, repainted, can't even tell I modified it.

[@missyrabbit5250]

where did you get the frame attached to box at 5:00?

[@seeunow44]

I don’t see the links to items to make modifications… can you share? I did not see any or share how to find description…. Thanks in advance!!

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

If you click on the title it should bring up the description. Then hit the "more" button and it should show all the links. Let me know if it works.

[@charliesmith9528]

Did your lift arm ends fit in bottom easily,,mine wont go in because opening in bottom is only 1 inch,,top link fits but bottom is wrong,,i have noticed some other quick hitches have 1 1/4 lower openings

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

I had zero issues with mine.

[@lisachavez6085]

Those are 7/16 and I didn't have to replace the hook

[@willmorrison1324]

Where did you get the new top hook ?

[@meadsoutdooradventures]

There is a link to it through Amazon in the description.
