Hi. Here in Norway we use the so called UK hitch, and i will say that when you have used it some times, it dont take that long to connect a trailer, not any longer than the time you used on the US hitch. And i think the UK hitch is safer to use, because on the locking of the trailer hitch. But the US hitch looks very Nice. We can’t all like the same things😎

Hi Wes. Why does the hook on the tractor mount on the underside of the draw bar? It looks like there are two lugs to create a channel to sit on top of the draw bar and prevent a lateral/twisting motion. Perhaps they are for some other reason

@rdnqds

6 жыл бұрын

Andrew Adams you are correct about the two lugs, they are supposed to straddle the drawbar from the top. He is using a heavy cat drawbar that is extremely wide and judging by the clip it wouldn’t fit, he is also using it for light tongue weight applications so it should not be an issue for him

i dont know about john deer but on our massey 390 and 4355 we have a mirror on the back window,and when you open the window the mirror goes with it ,and you can see the hitch in the mirror.

I hope they have plenty of stock, that hitch is awesome! I wouldnt be surprised if they get some real pressure on sales for it.

hook is better of the two , but thats just me , depends on whats best for what your doing

There's usually a mirror on they mudguards of tractors in Ireland so you can always see the hook and with your fast hitch you have a lot of work to do if you need to use the 3 pt hitch you have to unbolt the drawbar which takes a lot of time. With the eu hitch the drawbar is out of the way and the minute u take off a trailer you don't have to modify it to use the 3pt hitch. I will admit that hitch is slightly faster that the EU hitch but it wouldn't suit the trailers that are used in Ireland

that's awesome Wes and Tim.great job fellas.

I remember 4 months of pain while healing from harvest season. Yanking tounges around to line up with hitches. Yes you can extend the tongue sometimes 18 inches but there is always an alignment of an inch sideways. Moving the front wheels with 9 thousand pounds of weight on them was an issue. 2 years of using this system resulted in no painful injuries to my shoulders. I used the safety pin while on public highways or roadways. Not so much field to yard travel. The kind of pin with the wrap around capture clip works real well. I put the supplied pin with separate spring clip on the planter box rack as a spare.

In fairness both systems work well but the only disadvantage to the us style is that there cannot be any tounge weight which would render it useless to us over the pond

@DillenB93

I'm not saying it doesn't work with lighter loads, as hay or one of them smaller grain trailers with a whole in the bottom. Just a hassle having to switch between two hooks.

Wes, I'm not wanting to cause an argument because the fact is that we use different methods in different countries and that isn't likely to change. I'd just like to make a couple of points. Firstly, speed comes with practice, so the series of movements that you say took a minute to lower the hook, with practice can be done in a matter of seconds. The same goes with judging when the hook is in the ring. It's just a case of knowing your machine and practicing. Secondly, your concerns about strength are unfounded. I know from experience that one of those 7530 pick up hitches will manage a fully loaded trailer topping 36 tons, which according to my maths is about 81000 U.S. pounds. (That's at the top speed of 56kph on a none too smooth surface) Finally, the reason we like the pick up hitch (and its variants), apart from being quick, is it's safer. There's no need for someone to come between a tractor and unsecured trailer to drop a pin in and risk getting crushed. Also, because the hitch lifts the front end of the trailer, some of the weight is transferred onto the back end of the tractor. This not only increases traction, it allows for safer braking. I'm not trying to teach you to suck eggs, you know your business and it's up to you what you do with it. But please don't knock the systems we use in the UK, they're safe, proven and reliable. Cheers

Northern farmer yep I agree, couldn’t pick up a draw bar with my weight on it. It also took at least 30 mins to set the tractor up for it.

Hello, just stumbled across your video, love the 7530. all the “quick hitch” or hook hitch’s in Ireland/UK are only rated for 3 ton to remove liability from the manufacturers. They can hold probably over 20ton. Been pulling a 14 ton excavator plus buckets on a low loader with them for years as have many others. Still holding strong.

Love speed hitches! Guys around my area use them on their silage boxes (those that still pull their boxes behind the chopper.) I worked for a guy that had them. Yes they are a time saver!

Using the European/UK telescopic hitch is a skill, once you master it it’s easily as quick as the ‘agri speed hitch’ and what you do is extend the hitch out with the hook and lean out slightly and you can easily see the hook, practice makes perfect, also having the drawbar extended with the agri hitch, means it would be more likely to lift the tractor in the air with a heavy load, I really don’t like having the cord dangling around when all it has to do is catch a link arm and there goes your load down then hill 😂

But that thing needs to be detached when you use your 3-point hitch. And that can not take any load from the trailer to the tractor wheels. It's simply way too far back from the rear axle. We here use only trailers wich give two to three ton load on trackor wheels to increase traction. Way I see it that US is just stuck in the middle age just because you guys had to be so hard headed. If hydraulic hitch was invented in US, everyone would use it. But hay 20 years from now, you will hop on the train of progress with us ;-)

maybe he doesn't want to install it in the mud but the asphalt suits him fine.

I have been out of farming for a number of years (UK) but back in the 1990s we used pick up hooks for the heavy work (we had trailers up to 13 tons). Sure the hook was out of view from the cab but there were guides on either side to align the hook which allowed you to back up into the trailer eye in a second. The 3 point lifted the hook up & the latch locked the hook up so that the hitch could never detatch by accident. We also used this type of pick up hook on the back of a trailed forage harvester which you backed up to pick up an empty trailer so a single working tractor could work a field, dropping full trailers & picking up empties as you want & the filled trailers were hauled back to the clamp (pit) for dump & return. It was very efficient & fast. When I moved to Canada in 2000 I did some work with tractors here again & I found the tractor hitches here a complete bunch of pants....

In the uk we also run big balers and the drawbar hitch copes well with them, most of the weight of the krone is in the axles and only a small amount will be on the drawbar.

We Have Hitch Cameras on all of our Tractors.

We moved from Friesland (NL) to the UK and our Ford 3000 had a hitch mounted above the axle, as was common in The Netherlands at the time. We were told it was illegal in the UK and so switched to an under axle one off a 5000. I am much more familiar with the pick up hitch type as used in the UK. It should be noted that European farmers are far more likely to used trailers that have front axles that steer, while UK farmers tend to use trailers that are carried on the hitch. This hitch demonstrated is great and easily visible, but way too far back for the types of trailer used where plenty of weight rests on the axle. for 4wheel trailers like shown here, it will be fine. Technically you still have to get off the tractor to hook up your lights and air brakes/ hydraulic lines, but yeah sure hitches up quick. No use on heavy trailers in my view.

How about a bowden cable like a bicycle brake? Less risk of it getting snagged on something and dumping your trailer, and you can route it and tie it up neatly

Every tool has its application, personally I can’t see that hitch system working in the uk. 90% of all modern equipment in the uk uses the pick up hitch with the hook not the drawbar and there is no pin to line up. That hitch you’ve got there wouldn’t work when you’ve got a full 16t trailer with most of the weight on the tong, yes if it had a dolly you’d be fine, but you loose all the traction on the back tires then. And once you’ve used the uk style for a few months you can judge where the pick up needs to be. Personally I don’t have the push out option and I find it fine. No maybe not as quick but safer because you have to lift the arms to the very top before the trailer can be disconnected. There are horses for courses and I don’t doubt that your hitch is much better for you. But it doesn’t work for everyone and there no way that you can say every uk and Irish operates is wrong for not saying your way is better, just like we can’t say ours is better

@Descorath

It's a bit wrong to say that most of the weight is on the tong. There is a 3tonn limit on the hitch in most tractors (afaik), only larger ones having one that is rated for 4.2 or something. So a trailer is often rated with getting close to that limit when fully loaded. And even empty having probably some 500+kg on the tong. I would still argue that the pick-up hitch is better than the standard US ones, as I see no real benefit of the US ones except it being pure mechanical.

The hook hitch used in the UK and Ireland surely stems from convenience; a lot of implements are mounted on the 3 point linkage over here as opposed to predominantly being trailed in the US due to size and hp restraints. The hook hitch prevents the need to disconnect the drawbar from the tractor every time you want to mount an implement on the 3 point linkage.

Your living in uk in Europe son .....arrogant Brits you’re empire fell long time ago but when you leave Europe you have all that manufacturing to sell to India .......

We saw these at a farm show probably 12 years ago, set up an entire fleet of tractors and forage boxes, best decision we have ever made!!!

i would say its to do with using heavier trailers for smaller/lighter tractors for small areas and using the weight transfer from the trailer to help the tractor get traction - so it is close coupled so that the weight is as close to the rear axle as possible

That is awesome, thanks Wes

I Purchased one of these hitches about 5 years ago. Best investment ever.

Sure could have used that as a kid on the farm in Alberta. There were times when I had to jack up the plow hitch or put something in the ring to level it out for hooking up and would waste 10 minutes just getting hooked. I know my dad would have had one on every implement we had. Good job on this one...

N I C E !!! Anything that reduces work is an improvement that saves time.

Once you get used to the pick up hitch we have in Europe it is pretty fast to hook up to a trailer

This is the reason I bought mine, to pick up round bales. Their spread across the field and you'll have groups of 3-4 close together and by the time you drive around to fill the wagon you have a lot of wasted time. Now I move the wagon to the where there is a group of them and cuts loading time in half. As with hooking and unhooking any wagon keep on level ground to prevent runaway wagons. Do use the safety pin when running the roads takes just a few seconds when hooking and unhooking, I never had a problem with mine (been using it for 15 years) but over time the spring may weaken and bouncing and jerking from rough roads anything could happen.

The way you use the hook best is keep it lifted up and pushed out and only drop in when your in line a few inches away from it

we dont have dolly trailers over here, we use the hook to lift trailers off the skids that they are parked up on. about a ton ,that guide would just bend back. good hitch for your implication tho.

Yup just checked their website, should be mounted on top of the hitch not below it.

if the v is not wide enough you can take a piece of pipe and bolt it on through the provided hole, they do sell the extensions for things like a forage harvester where you can see very well.

Fairly common for a plate and two bars to be welded on top the tongue with the bolts one washer inside on that kit and you just make that bars'n'plate thing for all your wagons.

We welded a bolt on the bottom of the leg on the wagon hitch it helped keep the wagons from costing

Pretty slick setup.

Hay Wes,that is so slick

Very nice again Wes, right Tim that Bergman speed hitch 👌😲😉😂

Neat design on that hitch

The guys I work with use those hitches, my grandpa uses it on the 4840 and 650 bushel grain wagons, those hitches are the only thing that helps him keep up with the auger cart

Pretty slick hitch system!

I'm a great follower of your channel and always respect your point of view. I'm an Irish person, have driven tractors since I was six, now 40. I repair tractors for a living. The hydraulic pick up hitch non extendable is faultless. I've used it to pull 20 ton loads of wet heavy silage on single, double and tri axle trailers. This sort of system is ok, but shear strength is compromised.

That’s an awesome hitch!

the hitch we use is called a dromone pick up hitch in my opinion i think it better than the other types.most tractors you see in ireland use this set up

for in field use its a great system on the road the trailer will want to push you on the corners due to the extra leverage at the hitch point

U can put mirrors on the window so u can look at the hook. Pretty clever

When you get used to the hitch you can be dropping it as you back in, 10 seconds to hitch up

I’ve seen that hitch used on krone bakers and bigger, yes they don’t last and wear excessively but it is strong enough to do it!

Yes it's faster but I don't think that it will be easy to unlock that speed hitch if it's pulling a loaded European style silage wagon but for your hay wagons the Agri speed hitch is what you need!

Im Irish and all i got to say is our style of pickup hitch isn't as good as the european style hitch. Bought a new holland in from Holland last year and it had the euro hitch on it and all i got to say it was a right good strong capacity Drawbar no hook just a drawbar. Only issue with it was it was very hard to work with tankers and trailers as hitch wouldnt go down..

You should attach a mirror to the back window so you can see whats happening without leaning out.
