What a simple design & well thought out without to much thought! Great Idea & thanks John for featuring this Item. I think the price of old implements in really good condition just went up with this adapter lol.

[@dennismccarthy9168]

Hey John, Thank you for posting your video on the advantages of the 3P-QD Quick Hitch Adapter. I especially liked your comments at the very end where you said, " Easy, Fast, I like it, I'm leaving it on there". To me, that's the best part of the 3P-QH, it's a permanent fix. I have not taken my 3P-QH off since I put it on 8 months ago. It's awesome - now I use all my implements without hesitation.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you Dennis! It does work well. You have a very useful adaptor. I don't think I will ever need to take it off. Thank you for the ease way to QH my old equipment. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@glenchoitz9497]

All of my implements are old stuff, 30 plus years, except a new auger...14" double bottom plow, 5' adjustable blade, 4 row disc cultivator, 5' bush hog...Only the bush hog mount had to be modified, 15 minute job with a cutoff wheel on a 4" grinder to gain a bit of access to top pin. Love my HF quick hitch, been working great for the past year at very little money.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you Glen, for watching and the comment! I love the HF quick hitch myself. A lot of my equipment is to heavy to manhandle. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!

[@glenchoitz9497]

@@LouisianaTractorworks Just wanted to mention that I had a problem with pin spacing on one of my implements, about a 1/2" more clearance needed on the QH...So I did it like we always do here in Missouri and smacked each side rail of the QH with a sledge hammer to move it out just a bit...That did the trick and didn't seem to effect the QH performance.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

@@glenchoitz9497 LOL We use the same tool here.

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi John! That’s a very clever solution to one of the biggest limitations of a Quick Hitch. At least with that gadget it’s almost as fast as hooking up with the Pat’s Easy Change System. LOL! That’s why I went with Pat’s. It’s compatible with all implements instead of requiring implements to be QH compatible. Still for QH folks, that’s a cool solution for helping a QH connect to an old implement. Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks DIY! It's a great way to make all your implements QH compatible. So far I'm liking it. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Looks like a good idea 👍good job on the video

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you J! It really is. Using older implements that are not QH compatible is a big draw back for a lot of people. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@CiparBSV]

Great solution. I was researching Quick Hitches, and found one that used puns instead of bolts in the top link. I can't seem to remember which brand, but that seems like it would be a good addition to your video. Thanks for sharing your solution.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you CiparBSV, for watching and the comment! Pins in the top instead of bolts would be great.Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@emcjay1269]

Love the quick connect, a problem I had with mine , depending on the length of the 3rd link , I had an instance of it hitting the tractor and cracking the plastic molding around the lights on the tractor. In a shortened position (box blade ) this may happen as it did with me.

[@deanbarr5740]

Thats great news John. I'll have to get me one. My quick hitch is only compatible with my sickle bar mower. Can't use it with anything else. Thanks buddy.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks Dean! I think it will make hooking up to older equipment easier. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@blipsmann1985]

Use hitch pins thru the top part instead of nuts and bolts. Or cut the support off and move it to the other side of the bush hog!!! A ratchet would be quicker than two small crescent wrenches too !!!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

That is a great adaptor if you have a number of old attachments but if it was just one I might think about cutting the brace off and weld another lower

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks GTB! True but if you get more then you will be doing them too. Plus time cost to cut it and reweld it. This is easy and you can now add more older implements for cheap. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@commandercody38]

couple of easy pins and that top link adjuster would be super efficient. The one thing that gets to me with switching implements isn't the weight but adjusting the tension every single time.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you Isaiah, for watching and the comment! You are so right! Lol. A hydraulic top link would be great to have on the tractors but it's a expensive add on. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!

[@dougwisdom1239]

Cut the upper tie bar and reposition it to a lower support point. Take a little bit of time to cut another flat bar and weld in place. Then remove the exiting piece. That's how I dealt with it.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks Doug! That will work, but I plan on getting more older implements and this adapter is a one time fix for all of them. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

I got a QH from Atwood's for cheap it was a return and had all of its pieces but it had a y adapter and that's what I use on my cutter but the bolts on that hook are a pain and I lost one and got mad and just went to the Atwood's and got some pins and fixed up that way

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

That should work really well. It hooks up well anyway. I have an older Southeast brand brush cutter. The top link is actually a 5/16 chain. That works really well here in the hills. It doesn't mate up to the quick hitch because of the width of the pin spacing. I drop the quick hitch off and hook it directly to the 3 point. I have gone to grabbing one of the other loader tractors when I hook it up. When it is suspended in the air with the weight off the ground, I can push it around with one hand to any place I need it to be. Doesn't help for hooking up the pro shaft though.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks Gary! Yeah I've used soft top links on some of that older equipment to have that free travel on the top link. Some of the equipment that's to wide for a QH you can sometimes flip the pins to the inside and it will work. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

[@victorm7274]

it seems to me if you have a welder , it's just a matter of moving that metal plate down a few inches. As long as it does hit your PTO shaft.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thanks you Victor, for the comment! You are correct. If it's just one or two implements and you have the tools, time and ability.

John--does it work with a Woods 660 Finish mower--some quick hitch reviewers say they are not compatible with finish mowers??

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Thank you Deacon Waters for watching and the comment! If it's a problem with the hook of the Quick hitch on that mower then this will help to fit. If it's because the mower frame is to wide for a Q.H. then you can move one or both pins to the inside of the frame and that will make them closer together for the Q.H. and you will want to get the cat. 3 bushing that go over the pins. Changing them from cat 1 to cat 3 size pins so it will fit better in the Q.H. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

A couple of observations: 1. This Quick Hitch Adapter looks like a good fit for that particular brush hog, but now you have to remove it the next time you want to use a rake, box blade, ballast box, etc. This adapter doesn't seem to solve the problem of making the quick hitch compatible with every implement. It seems to make it specific to this brush hog and Incompatible with every other implement. 2.
