 Topic: Pat's vs standard quick hitch on 190
Posted: Yesterday at 11:38am |
Sometimes I am a slow learner. After messing around many years I have the idea to make hooking up things a bit easier. I had been thinking of a standard 3pt quick hitch. I had forgotten about Pat's until I saw them on a search yesteday. Majority of the time I am putting out round bales. During winter I may use a rear blade when it snows or occasionaly brush cutter in late summer.
Anyone have any opions or experience using one or the other? I may have to make a couple small modifications to use the standard quick tach, but not real concerned about that part.
Thank you

I don't see a point to the Pats one. You still need to mess with the top link and it'll need adjusted out much farther to compensate for the Pats being set very far back. I'd just go standard 3 pt quick hitch and be done with it if you do anything. AaronSEIA

That, and in some cases the PTO shaft gets stretched out more, which might also be a negative. Moving the implement 5 inches more to the rear could require more front end weights in some applications.

I'm on the other 'orange' site a lot and there's always a lot of 'problems' with 'quick hitches' 1) Not all implements are QH compatible 2) QH isn't 'standard' a cat1 QH is TRACTOR side cat1, implement side is usually cat3 ! 3) adapters are needed, $$ per implement 4) PTOs need to be extended as QH is further from tractor 5) top link attachment isn't same, need longer top link
My 'cure' was to have my 3PH implement bolted to SC-3PH adapters and dedicated toplink,also bolted on. This allowed me FAST hookup and no adjustments. I know won't work for all but made my life easy.

It doesnt seem like aftermarket inmplent manufacturers can read a tape measure because they have no consistancy in 3 point dimensions. I tried quick hitches but it would work on one thing and not the next. The smallest tractor i have is a D17 series 4 with 3point hitch. With extendable lower links its easier to just hook straight up because i was always having to take the quick hitch off

kinda funny how he had to "wait" 2 weeks to do his job he planned, when he could have just taken the quick connectors back off and hooked it up like normal, and did his thing lol!
I have a rural king quick hitch on one of my 5020's and it works great for my driveway drag. I think the quick hitch is a little better since the top link is connected to it as well. You do have to put the special pins on your implement though.

Some of us are old enough to remember what some J.I. Case tractors had. They called it the "Eagle-Claw" hitch. You left balls on your implement lower pull pins and the draft arms were open on the top (like a quick-coupler) and had a latch to close and trap the ball once you backed in underneath and lifted the hitch to get connected. The downsides were the draft arms were solid side-to-side. No sway whatsoever. And I imagine the strength of those open draft arm ends were only good up to less than 100 HP.
