I am looking at 3 pt quick couplings. I'm not sure which would be better, the ones that just have a tractor section (I'm looking at "Speeco quick hitch"), Tractor Supply sells this one, or the ones that have both tractor and implement sections (Freedom Hitch and Delta Hook). Any experience with any of these?

You might check our previous discussion of the subject on 5/28/99. It appears that it depends on the implements you want to use which hitch will be satisfactory.As I said Ive had good luck with the Speeco Quick Hitch with my rotary mover hooked to a Ford 1900. I had to machine down the collars on the lift pin bushing that came with the hitch and modify the top link bracket on my Hico mover, but that was no big deal and now it works fine. Im now modifying a dirt scoop so I can use it too. The lower lift pins used to push the scoop into the pile do not have enough clearance for the hitch. It is necessary to bolt on an extension plate that moves the pins away from the body of the scoop. I dont know how much it will cost to bet the plates made yet but it should be too bad. Also I have recently run across something called a 3PT EASY HITCH ($125) sold by The Stevens Tractor Co. Route 1 Coushatta, Louisiana 71019 (1-800-333-9143). Looks like a slick idea that would require no modification of any implements to get it to work. I might have gotten one if I had seen it sooner. ....
