Everybody needs a quick hitch. It’s a game changer. Pallet forks are extremely handy as well.

Ordered my green Fast Cat on Sunday. Received it today, Thursday (in Florida). Arrived in good shape. Stout piece of equipment. Came with all pins. Finish is good. Had quite a bit of back and forth via email and Good Works is extremely responsive. They have earned my business. Versa forks with headache rack will be my next purchase. Nothing but great things to say about my purchase.

💯 and ten % best hitch in the market. I bought early and now just double check when buying implements to be sure it's hook from the seat. And ALL my stuff works too hook and unhook from the seat unless its PTO. Hydrualic top link too. I'm the guy that initially bought into the Pat's easy change lie. Pat's is only good if you inherited great grandpa's implements. But watch out. I lost my ballast box twice in a week with Pat's. And never since with Speeco. Glad to see the improved Scott version.

I was using my nephews 1025 R with the Speeco quick hitch. While mowing my 3 5 acre property using a quick attach brush hog, the pin you talked about that can fall out in shipping can also fall out while in use. The pin vibrated out and I noticed right away that the mower had Tilted and started dragging. I stopped the tractor and found the handle the pin holds in about 20 feet behind me on the ground. I used the metal hook end of a bungee cord to get it back up to my shop. Replaced both pins with a grade 8 bolt and nylock nut.

👍 For pointing out how much easier the hydraulic top-link makes using a quick hitch. The first/last time I used a quick hitch was prior to having a hydraulic top-link and the ground I was working on twisted the two 3pt planes (tractor and implement sides) enough that I eventually got frustrated and took the quick hitch off the tractor mounted it on the implement and then made the connection to the tractor (a win for having telescoping lower link ends). Haven't used a quick hitch since -- as I really only had to the one time because I was using a borrowed implement where the lower link pins had been replaced with nuts& bolts that had long since rusted solid. However having said that your new product seems to add enough value (especially with supporting the weight brackets) that I'd consider getting one in the future. I greatly appreciate it when a business adds insightful changes/features to a product that greatly increase the product's utility/value at minimal cost/weight difference.

I bought the Speeco from you. It works great. My tractor is RED! I also bought the 3 point dethatcher from you. Also a great product. I wish my Kingkutter tiller was quick hitch compatible. The lower pins are too close together. I installed longer pins and I can make it work if I am careful. I can drop a pin out of the quick hitch if I am too aggressive with turning while tilling.

The quick hitch is a must such a back saver. Although I currently have the I match it's works good but have only one piece of equipment it won't hook up to is the box blade, opening on the I match is just a bit narrow. Will be switching to your new quick hitch in near future. Keep up the awesome videos.

Courtney, I feel so lucky to have bought one of your first batches of the SpeeCo that were black (although it would be easy to repaint it). Of course, I would have rather bought one of your creations instead. Way to go on creating your own products and keep them coming! 🙂

I concur with your assessment of the benefits and ease of the quick hitch as I bought the Speeco E-hitch years ago and absolutely love it. I compare it to putting on slip on shoes versus lacing up work boots! Like you I have a hydraulic top link (and tilt link) which just makes life so much easier, and at my age, easier is gooder! Thank you Courtney for another good video and thanks to Chris for the excellent camera work too. I love his drone footage in your videos.

One more thing you could offer this quick Hitch an additional accessory option that could be installed before it goes out or the customer would be to install a go pro Camera system and Blu tooth monitor to view what is happening behind you in the cab. Then also add a led light and/or light bar. People would pay you to do that rather than do it themselves. 👍🏽

Quick hitch makes a world of difference when changing or hooking up 3 point equipment. If you switch often, add a quick coupler as well. I added one and now would not go back. Get a quality quick hitch and it will last for the life of the tractor.

@SAMPolizzl Ай бұрын

Hi I am from the thumb of Michigan in farm country this quick hitch helps a lot especially when you are old . When I put my quick hitch on I do it a little different than most I put it in my barn an lift it up with a floor jack an roll it to the three point. Then make the arms low an wheel it to the arms. Have the hitch a little higher than the arms then you can lift the arms up to line the holes then put on the top link save your back .hope this tip helps

@StumpkillerCP Ай бұрын

My prior tractor was a 1955 Ford 640. Changing implements involved a lot of pounding and nautical terminology. The first attachment I bought when I got my John Deere 1025R was a SpeeCo quick hitch. Where was this all my life? Sooo much easier and a joy to use. Some attachments require that I move the top hook, but that takes a minute with two quick-pins.

I have a couple pieces of equipment from King Kutter/Rural King. There’s a LOT more to this, but want to save time I purchased a quick hitch from Rural King. That also meant I needed bushings. As you measure front to back, the “hook” on the lower link of the quick hitch doesn’t have enough space between the implement pin and the frame. So I returned it. The whole episode was a week’s worth of of available time that was a pain in the hind quarters.

@craigguinn5423 Ай бұрын

I got a Speeco from you a couple of years back. I painted it orange to go with my BX. I have 4 attachments, I modified 2 to fit. I also made some fast change pins myself. So not too different than yours now.

The one thing that I wish you had done differently... The one thing... Away to attach the PTO shaft to the frame of the quick hitch. IE.... when your trying to hook up a mower to the tractor... with the quick hitch... The PTO shaft bumps into the drawbar... Once you've connect the 3 pt... your wrestling the shaft to get in position... to get it on the PTO shaft... Its not so bad on my 2038... But my 5075 and the shaft on my batwing... that PTO shaft is heavy

I had my eye on the Speeco unit but my latest project has me constantly switching between my trailer mover and box blade. When I finally went to pull the trigger I saw your Fast Cat and bought that instead! I still need some Hitch Hangers for extra ballast but I recently managed to find one of your Mini Stump Wreckers second hand so somehow my new Kioti is already all decked out in GWT gear. 😂

@AppliedOCD Ай бұрын

Here's are some suggestions to make your hitch even better: 1. Add 3 sockets to accept a standard 2" Reese hitch extension, one under each lower hook and one under the top hook. Now you can design and sell bale spears to fit the sockets. 2. Weld a grab hook on each side of the upright arms to hang chains on or use for pulling. 3. Weld on your heavy hitch suitcase weight hangers on each upright.

Pipe hole/brackets for bale spears would be a great little extra feature on your fork attachment unit.

With a quick hitch you can also keep the sway turn buckles tight so your attachments don't swing back and forth.

@carrollsanders9376 Ай бұрын

Depends on what your doing sometimes you want movement sometimes you don't, Personally I wouldn't by a quick hitch without Bushings. On the larger 4 wheel drive tractors they learned in the 1980s that quick hitches wear out hitch pins. The bushings are designed to protect the hitch pins, without them the hitch pins wear and eventually break.

@racerx9223 Ай бұрын

Yes, if the 3 point links are lowered to far when trying to hook up the fast hitch itself then it will want to slide off the lowers instead of rest on them. You just have to look and make sure they arent angled downhill before going to put it on..

A quick hitch is a MUST for every tractor if you have multiple attachments . That said, Courtney - R&D for the old style funny tops a new attachement which would be QHC. It looks like it wouldn’t be that hard to replace with 2 bolts if you made it one unit?!

My father struggles to lift the quick hitch. I know its only 70 lbs but he struggles. So he lays it flat on the ground.backs over it and lowers the 3 point arms down into it. Then flips it up for the top link

@xriz00 Ай бұрын

What I did was make a platform, bench: its 1/2 inch higher than the 3 point will drop thequick hitch. You drop quick hitch on top of your platform and now you dont have to lift it more than a inch or so. Leave the QHitch on the platform to put it back on. Its much easyier to move or schoot it in to place when its at the same level as the 3 pioint. the big key is to make the platform top much bigger than the 3 point, so you can move the Q hitch around to get it on or off, like 18" wide and 42-48" long.

@duckinaroundlife Ай бұрын

Seen some implements where it is too tight for the top hook to get into, would it help if the top hook had more of an angle for the top half maybe? I know its cut at 45 or so but the hook it self is still u shaped, what if it was leaned out for a 45 for maybe the top 2 inches? That combined with a hydro top link would give extra reach to maybe catch a top pin on something that was not designed for quick hitch. Im sure it wouldnt be as strong on the very end but it wouldnt need to be just to catch it enough to get it to slide into place. I saw someone on youtube that had to leave one pin out of the top hook for that reason, to be able to rotate the hook some, but if the hook was bent out more maybe that would work and still keep both pins in. Even if it was just a second hook you could buy just to swap if needed, could be worth looking into maybe.

It might be plenty strong, but the welds on that Speeco at 1:11 are pretty ugly. I could do better when I was in grade school after a couple lessons in my dad's garage. They should look like stacked coins, not bubble gum.

I have the SpeeCo which I bought from GWT a couple years ago. would appreciate you covering attachments with PTO using the quick hitch. How to determine if that attachment can be safely used with the quick hitch or whether that additional displacement rearward would make the PTO shaft extended farther than what is safe for the overlap of the two halves. Thanks.

@craigguinn5423 Ай бұрын

I got a tiller from LP. It fit the QH stock, but they would have cut it otherwise. I think it extends ~4”, so you might need a PTO extension.

I had switched to a Speeco until I got the Del Morino FLI186MHSS flail mower. It has cat 2 lower pins and I haven't found any cat 1 pins that will fit the holes in the frame for the cat 2 pins. I had to go back to my original Land Pride QH15 and back to using adapters. I might could machine some bushings to use cat 1 pins on the FLI186MHSS now that I have a lathe. But it shouldn't be that difficult, and there's no reason for this flail mower to need cat 2 pins.

I'm wondering if you can still use the side link with the GWT quick hitch. I know you can use the top link but thinking the side link might bind. Can you give me some idea? Thanks for your informative videos.

What about the amount of pin slop? The lower pins have 3/8-1/2 gap from the top of the pin to the locking lever. That has to be annoying when using grading implements or snow blowers. Please someone answer that. In the video you see the I Match lock up tight with the bushings.

@GoodWorksTractors Ай бұрын

It isn't annoying at all. Zero issues with it. Watch my videos from the last four years. Tons of examples using attachments with the direct pin fit. In fact, it's been such a non-issue that I can't think of a single time it's ever crossed my mind. Thousands upon thousands of those Speeco's in the field. Zero complaints from customers either.
