Quick hitch for compact tractor

[clueless]

why do you want a hitch for a compact tractor? surely theres no weight in the things you pick up so you can wang them around slightly if you dont come in to them square? sems a bit of a waste of money thats all?

 

just my 2pence sorry. am used to picking up implements of 5t or more. no messing about then!

Cheapest option is to weld them on especially if you make them yourself out of some scrap channel.Tractor A frame costs about £140 and weld on implement A frame about £40.You could weld some clevis plates on the "weld on frame" if you don't want to alter your imlement.

 

When I'm on logs I drop the splitter off turn the tractor around and throw split logs into 8 foot loader bucket.I have made up some 20 foot extension hydraulic hoses and the tractor has cat 3 hooks - A frame would be alot quicker picking up and dropping off.

Ok i give, in yours is MUCH bigger than mine ,yes im not dealing with 5t,but its still a pain in the butt swapping from log splitter/Hakki PIlke Eagle/pallet forks/trailer and i am just trying to make things easier......my back isnt getting any younger!!

This is what im after

 

Problem with that is it's not adjustable, so unless all your implements lower and top links are the same it won't work, try these 3 Point Quick Change Hitch System | Northern Tool + Equipment

Hi, yes i can vouch for the ones from northern tool. I have them fitted to some of my tractors and they are very good and strong, have lasted years of abuse

Can i ask what size your bottom link arms are? my fittings are cat 1.

ie are they on compact or full size tractors and do you know if there is a difference,cos i dont want to order them if they dont fit

Twose

 

You may have to adjust the lower link arm width between implements and you'll definetly have to take the toplink on and off - so I don't think you will

gain very much with the northern tool option.

 

With the A frame you just back up to the implement , lift and it locks on automatically. To take off you just pull on the rope , lower and its off
