Just bought a Speeco E hitch. Looking for advice; fits my new Deere disc perfect. My 6 year old behlen box blade and old 25a Deere flail don’t fit. The 3 PT frame is too wide and lift pins can’t seat into speeco and frame rests on speeco. Any workarounds? Am I SOL? Likely will get a new box blade and sell old one. But my 25a works great and would rather not buy another. What flail works/seats into the speeco? I’m now too concerned about just ordering an implement and it not being able to fit.

Great review. Speeco is the one. No bushings required for all Cat 1 attachments.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Great video ! I learned a lot , measurements also very helpful . Plan on getting a quick hitch and just started to research, but I was think why couldn't one just add a sleeve / bushing / piece of black pipe to the existing pin and tack weld to hold into place . Speeco does look like the way to go though .

just ordered the speedco from you, can't wait to try it out

Thank you for your review! I would add a very important point. One of the most important thing when choosing a quick hitch is to consider wich one has the shorter distance between the lower hook and 3 point tractor side pin hole. The shorter is the distance, the better it is to keep your accesories neer your tractor. You don't want any unecessary inches between the tractor and your accessories. I think that having larger hook diameter give you the chance to install bigger tool and also beign able to install the Cat. 1 tools ? Very good review, lot of information ! Thanks !

Helpful video.

Thank for the info.

This is a great video, but you also need the inside/outside wall dimensions of the quick hitch frame because when you have an attachment like a box blade, that wall needs to fit inside of that pin area just like the hooks. I purchased a quick hitch based on the inside/outside hook widths and then got it home only to realize the hooks fit fine but the outside wall dimensions were too wide for my "quick hitch compatible" box blade.

I use my quick hitch on all my equipment without them bushings. Works just fine of them 7/8 pins that are on the equipment. Saves money and easier if a neighbor needs to borrow a piece of equipment and doesn't have a quick hitch.

Thanks!

I like how you mentioned the top hook on the imatch. Found that out trying to hook up to a rear blade and didn’t work well. Purchased a kens bolt on hooks new hook and quick release pins. Worked out perfectly!

Yes, I should have mentioned that he has that extended top hook.

My thoughts on the lower bushings are just for additional adaptation to implement hitches that are not exact cat 1 width dimensions or pin size. Whether it be internal or external lower pin mounts. And with the shoulder no need to worry about snagging the lynchpin when hooking up. Also it’s easier to bush up than change pins to get to correct size.

Had my harbor freight for 16 years. Used on my BX2230 until 2016. Been on my B3200 for eight years. Have abused it as much as possible with a 6 foot Land Pride box blade cutting new roads thru woods. Have bent and broken scarifiers on rocks and stumps and the HF quick hitch just keeps pulling. None of the tractor guys ever talk about it. Surprising given how low the price is. I bought it new for $100. They’re only $134 now. To give the same info, weight is 61.4 lbs. Also, the manual says nothing about bushings and I’ve never used them with it.

Im happy without. Especially since my equipment doesnt stand on its own. Also im using cat 2 and 1.5. I say 1.5 since ive switched the 7/8 lift pins to 1 1/8 lift pins so i dont need bottom bushings and my boom pole gramps built so i dont believe it conforms to cat 1 spacing

@Good Works Tractors The bushings are there for some older hay equipment that use the 3-point hitch as a two point hitch system. In my opinion, it would be cheaper and more efficient to change the pins on that equipment than to buy bushings for everything else. It's also unlikely that sub-compact tractors will be using said equipment. On top of that, I'm not sure any of that stuff would actually be usable with a quick hitch in the first place. I would assume that most of the quick hitches are made the way they are, because they copied John Deere. John Deere most likely did that because they wanted that backwards compatibility.

Get one of those bushings. Cut it in half. Weld half in each hook. Then use any of them without bushings on attachments.

It's definitely worth it. The $120 quick hitch from Harbor Freight does the job good. I have 1000 lbs of counterweight on it. Don't use the $30 bushings, use the $3 sleeves. Remove the bolts from the top hook and put in quick easy to move pins instead. Now when I buy implements I just make sure that they will match up to it. Get an adapter plate with spaced-out pinholes for the top for some of the implements .

Cat 1 to Cat 3 on Quick Hitch My theory on why the different sizes using the bushing is to #1, sell more parts, #2 is that in using the quick hitch over a period of time, the bushing becomes slightly burred. On the hitch that is of no concern. But if it was on the Cat 1 pin itself, you might have trouble putting the pin in the receiver ball socket if that was ever desired.

Have you tried the Jiffy Hitch? I went with it about twenty years ago and I'm well pleased with it.

For the hitches that require bushings, would it be an option to just get the sleeve bushings that you could easily take on or off? Why are the bushings that use the roll pins needed? I can see where the roll pin style would be better in a lot of ways but if you're using the implement on a quick hitch tractor and on a non-quick hitch tractor, it would be difficult to remove that style bushing.

I'm thinking get a cheep one and weld some plate on each side to fit it to size without bushings then do some fill weld and just permanently fix it lol

It's simple really... they only make one model and call it CAT I/II/III based on the hitch pins they install in it. There are always tradeoffs. The Speeco is much better built, but the CAT I ears means you'll never be able to pick up anyone else's attachment. (and after a few years, those roll pins don't come out!)

Howdy, the Worksaver and Speeco weigh the most. They are within a few ounces of each other. Most have strong support in the gussets too. Speeco doesn't need bushings. So, Speeco wins in my opinion.

I can adjust mine side to side and up and down with pins in seconds and I don’t need bushings! I can hook up to anything that’s quickhitch in seconds. Unfortunately, the company no longer makes them.

is the outside to outside dimensions the same on a cat 1 verses cat 2 quick attach?

My iMatch has the fixed top hook, and the JD MX6 mower that I have, actually had zero clearance between the hook and the upper pin. I ground a tiny bit out of the gullet of the hook, to take any weight off it.

I know you didn't ask me, but here I go anyway... Totally NOT a stupid question, and I think you'll find that some folks don't ask it ahead of time and then get frustrated when their implements don't (appear to) work with a qh. (So now's the time to ask!) 👍 As I implied above, you might find that any given implement doesn't APPEAR to work with a qh (and sadly, there may be little chance of finding this out without actually having the pieces and trying to hook them up), but sometimes a new adapter and/or set of bushings is all you need to purchase to make it happen. Tractor forums (like on Facebook) are good places to find out what solutions are already out there. (And GWT is always a great resource too!) Hope this helps.

I understand why you need bushings for most quick hitch setups. Can you explain what it is about the Speeco that eliminates this requirement? Thanks!

I have a 2860m and I’m told it will not fit on that as well. 2860m has cat 1 and cat 2 balls. Speeco sells another cat 1 that uses bushings which is probably for fitting bigger compacts. Just my reasoning not certain. Your 4707 probably more of a cat 2 hookup but that other cat 1 Speeco might work. They are black, but like I said use a bushing.

Can you use a quick hitch if you have a hydraulic top link?
