- So! You got a new quick hitch but none of your old implements will work with it! You can mod the quick hitch and the implements, OR!! You can take a look at what Shot-Trap.com has made!! The Quick Hitch Adapter!! This makes hooking up to the old implements easy with no modifying!
Here is a link to order one for your Quick Hitch; www.shot-trap....

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.
Lol. Thanks Venice! It was a great idea and simple to mount and use. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
That looks like a great, time-saving, adapter! Thanks for sharing, John!
Thanks Rick! It is for the older stuff! Have a good day! See ya in the next one!
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!
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!
Simple yet effective! nice that it give the movement for implements like brush hogs that can use it! Thanks for sharing John!
Thank you Tyler! It does work good on the old equipment. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
The whole standard quick hitch systems is mis used anyways. Its advertised as being able to pick up implements without getting off the tractor. Regardless of how u connnect to your implements , you should ALWAYS get off and make sure everything connects securely. If you dont get off the tractor , you shouldnt own a tractor to begin with
Thank you Texascudaguy, for watching and the comment! I agree with you. A lot of three point equipment has a P.T.O. shaft that you have to get off the tractor to hook up anyway. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
Hey John, that's a cool adapter for old machinery. Thanks for the great review and take care
Thank you John! It sure will make my life easier switch from my tiller to the other 3Pt. Implements. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Thanks. Im getting ready to disc soon. Frost is just maybe getting done our way. Nice job with old implements.Great job with quick hitch. 23rd like full play. Awesome job with adapter.
Thanks A.R! I think it works really! Good for someone with a few or more older implements. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
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.
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!
How's she goin'? That's a nice Quick Hitch Adapter piece John!!! I like that it adds to the 'flex' of the top link. That sure is handy for the rear implements. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Thank you Mike! It sure beats all the work to mod the old stuff to work. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Great idea. Will order one tomorrow.
Bolt on hooks has some removable pin’s available to replace the bolts and really make it easy. Adjustable Hook Pins for Imported Quick Hitches
Thank you togo, for watching and the comment! I will have to look into them pins. Thanks for letting me know about them. I don't take the adaptor off my QH. I use it on all my equipment. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
Pat’s quick hitch will hook the any three point hitch out there new old any year Simply the best going and cheapest too
Thank you Jackie, for watching and the comment! You are right! Pat's is a nice setup. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
Good video John. Hope you have a good week!
Thanks Okie Outdoor! You have a good week as well! See ya in the next one!
Simple solution...will implement on my hitch...thx for the video
Thank you David, for watching and the comment! It works really good. Just tilled my garden use it again and I love it! Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
That'll most definitely work 👍
Very easy to use as well. That old equipment is no problem now! lol Have a good day! See ya in the next one!
Hello John from Northern Virginia, just subscribed, Take Care and be Safe 🚜🪵🇺🇸
Thank you Senior Firewood, for the comment and subscribing! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! See ya in the next one!
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.
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!
@@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.
@@glenchoitz9497 LOL We use the same tool here.
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.
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!
Ken's Bolt On Hooks sells pins that replace the bolts.
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.
Thank you Mark, for watching and the comment! I with you on everything you said. I almost hit mine but caught it on time. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
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
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!
That's just awesome and a looks like it will work really well.
Thanks Jerry! So far it seems to work really well! Makes hooking that old equipment much faster and easer! I really am liking it! lol Have a good day! See ya in the next one!
Love the standard/metric “fits all “wrench set 😂
Thank you Doug, for watching and the comment. I have a few tool box's full of tools but I keep a couple of adjustable wrenches on the tractors because I never know just what I may need to tighten or take off. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Good video Jon. Happy to see you using crescent wrenches😁
Thanks Hank! Yeah they fit anything. That's why I never said anything about you using them. lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Hank, I was out here with my tractor the other day trying to use a crescent wrench, I couldn't get it to fin nutin, DUH......it was my metric crescent wrench. 😁😜
i like it. wish i had thought of this idea. simple yet effective.
Thank you Dave! You and me both!! Lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
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.
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!
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.
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!
Looks like you use a set of pins to replace them bolt. Ken’s bolt on hooks sells them for about $12. Makes changing or adjusting that hook much easier and fast.
Thank you c.carney1948, for watching and the comment! Thanks for the heads up on the pins from Ken's. I didn't know he sold them, and you are right! It sure will make it a lot easier. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
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.
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!
Looks like a good idea 👍good job on the video
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!
Wow, that is impressive!
Thanks Nancy & Mike! With this you can pick up some older equipment a lot cheaper and still be easy to change them out! Have a good day! See ya in the next one!
I’d like to see you do a video explaining which hoses to hook together once you unhook the backhoe from the Massey. I have to try to figure it out each time I want to hook up my rotary cutter.
Hey Billy! I will try a do a video on that. Thanks! Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Thanks for the video John just thinking about getting some more attachments for the rk24 thanks for sharing
Thanks Mike! Them good condition older implements sure can be picked up cheap. Lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
greetings from north texas, born raised in La.
Thank you Billy, for watch and the comment! How's it going! I was born in La but grow up in Houston area. lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
@@LouisianaTractorworks I moved back to La about 25 years ago, I was raised in Vidalia, but moved to Baton Rouge from Ft Worth....the humidity was as insane as I remembered but the crime was higher than dallas and ft worth combined. I came back to Texas after 6 months. I still have very fond memories of growing up in Louisiana but so much has changed since i grew up there. Still a sportsmans paradise though and some great people
@@BillyBlaze7 yea it's not the same as the old days.
Great adaptor! Thanks!
Thank you Joe! Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
John we Appreciate you commenting on our video #154. Your comment not showing in the video comment section, only in the content Thanks👍🏼🚜🪵🇺🇸
Thanks Larry, for letting me know. Just lift another one. Hopefully it works. lol Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
Man I’m gonna have to invest in a quick hitch,I avoid changing implements cause it always is a challenge for me lol great video John! Have a good one brother
Thank you Bama! This will make my tractor life much easier. lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
@@LouisianaTractorworks for sure!
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.
Thanks Dean! I think it will make hooking up to older equipment easier. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
you can use a chain also
Thank you henningnicklason9094, for watching and the comment! You are correct. A chain will work real well. Hope you have a great year! See ya in the next one!
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.
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. Then moving it is no problem, but if you plan on getting more over time are already have a few. This is so much faster and easer to make all of them work. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
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 !!!!
And now it's more like a Pat's Easy Change
Thank you duck-n-cover for watching and the comment. You are right but it was $30 compared to Pat's. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
so how do you get cat 2 arms into the cat 1 quick hitch. have a new cat 2 tractor but old cat 1 implements and quick hitch. balls on lower tractor arms to wide to fit into the area where you connect them on the quick hitch.
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
Thank y Andrew, for watching and the comment! That was a great way to fix the problem. I don't like the Y adapter either lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Cool adapter
Thank you Mr. TB! Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
This is great, love the vid ❤️
Thanks! See ya in the next one!
Move the brace,,, aight?
Thanks Bill! That's some work and only fixes one implement. This has saved all the cutting and rewelding. Fast and easy. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Good info. I couldn't ever get a quick hitch on my small Massey, it just seems too small.
I thought there was a quick-hitch for the small (GC) Masseys, Shane. I have a GC2610 and have considered getting a quick-hitch. But, I am sure John would know.
I use the H.F. one on the Massey. It works great. Thanks Shane! Have a good day! See ya in the next one!
Thanks Rick! The H.F. works great on my Massey!
@@twinbrookacres They do make some that fit but it really makes it tight back there.
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. Thank you for making the video to try to educate and inform the public, but PLEASE lose the obnoxious music. This is not a music video, please don't try to make it one!
Not telling you what to do but you might think about making the top link equal on both ends instead of one sticking almost all the way out.
Thanks motorsports! I did center it once already but I will check it again. Have good week! See ya in the next one!
What ever happened to the European style triangular quick hitch u got awhile back , still looks best option to me?
Thank you Byron, for the comment! You are right about the A-frame hitch but when I run across a new add-ons or attachments. I like to try them and show how they perform to the viewers. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
John--does it work with a Woods 660 Finish mower--some quick hitch reviewers say they are not compatible with finish mowers??
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!
@@LouisianaTractorworks Thanks!!!
👍👍
👍
does your shaft still reach the pto
Thank you Ken, for watching and the comment. Yes my PTO shaft still fits and my tiller fits. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Not sure why you haven't just cut out that web and welded a plate on behind.
Thanks Bryce for watching and the comment! Since this is the only old school equipment that I have I was not going to worry about it and just hook it up to the 3pt. arms. But when The Quick Hitch Adapter came along. I realized that I could buy a lot of these old implements and hook right up to them with no work. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
I got hrqh free otherwise I would never buy it with all hassle I see
Thank you Tacoma FAN, for watching and the comment! The HF quick hitch does have issues with fitting some equipment but for the price it's hard to beat. You got the perfect price for yours. Lol. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
thats ok if you have a quick hitch thats adjustable lol
