your pry bar tip reduced my profanity by 50% ! Thank

[Gravattack]

Mate, my first tractor s coming this week, and this might not seem like useful information to a lot of people, but its invaluable for people like me who have no clue about this

[wjhb]

Great info. Thanks. I just fought with my tiller today to get it on. I should have watched your video first! It would have saved me 30 minutes & a bunch of frustration.

When possible, I try to set 3 point implements on a pallet with steel castors sitting on a concrete floor. Then the implement can be rolled around on the floor easily. Of course there are many times that’s not practical, but if it is, it sure makes things easy to connect or move out of the way.

Your method with the pry bar looks very good especially when the implement is parked on the ground. Thanks for the suggestion!

This guy would make a great mentor... I like his personal style VICE used car salesman... L.O.L.

Great video. At last, someone who’s honest about the quick attach. I’ll take 5 mins to adjust by hand & save $200+. Especially since I only run a brush hog & a box blade. Using the digging bar for leverage is a great trick. Thanks for sharing it.

Brad, I have a quick hitch and a pry bar. I can never get the implement to be perfectly aligned. I notice two cheats in your video....concrete floor and supported implements. This makes hooking up so much easier as you are not fighting some implement stuck in the mud or stuck in a pallet that has broken. Our new barn has a 60 x 12 porch for implements and we are building rolling dollys for each implement so we can easily move them around, store them, and hook them up.

Dang .... thank you sir!!! I just realized I have the top link pivot connection on backwards... for 10+
Years . No wonder I've had issues with back of my brush hog drooping. Lol 😅

[DavidKaminski-csiw]

I hook up one side first. Then I hook up the adjustable link. With one side set and the adjustable link installed, I "adjust" the adjustable link to move the equipment for alignment to the second pin. Easy peasie.

Watched video this morning Ordered me the pry bar from tractor supply. I had a free delivery. Just got it to my house in less than 2 hours. Total price with tax $38

[aaronburford]

Brad at his best! Love Piney Grove and learning from him!

[HamiltonvilleFarm]

I spent about 3 hours putting my tiller on yesterday. I absolutely hate hooking up implements. Lol

[lindauselman]

I love this plan for making Life easier - prior to building the shed to store all implements.

[tractortalkwithgary]

I have 2 methods for hooking up implements. One is the same method that you just demonstrated. The other is an option that not everyone will have. That is to go get one of the other loader tractors and lift the implements just slightly with the loader. Just enough to defeat gravity.
Good demo Brad

[AshleySnook-nd]

Good video. New to the tractor world and now I have to look at my top block.

[feldhdleh]

Well done, very good overview. It depends on many factors, as you point out. I acquired my rear snow blower before I got a quick hitch, so that one goes on as you demonstrated. In fact, despite promises from the respective manufacturers, I've casually tested it with the QH (no PTO connection) and it doesn't really fit! Since the blower stays on the rear all season once I switch over, that is a non-issue.

It was critical to me that all the other implements I had and was planning to get in the near future could connect and do so relatively easily to make the whole thing worthwhile. Fortunately, they do. It's definitely worth it in my case, but only because it works. For many people, it just doesn't seem to work or work well enough. For those considering a QH, there is one very big benefit which your video made clear to those who use one successfully: that is, it saves all the small adjustments to the top and lower arms to both mount the implement and after it's mounted. Once the QH is fixed properly on the arms, it's done. It doesn't move. It doesn't need to be adjusted. Further, many of us make small dollies to unload the entire QH and the 3 arms from the tractor effortlessly. This is a further labour savings when you want to have nothing on the tractor rear, for example (when I mow using a belly mower, a good example in my case).

That was awesome thanks! I have been waiting for a second person to help me, but now I'm going out to give it a go myself!

[georgewest]

I stick the front of the front bucket down then by rolling the bucket I can move the tractor forward or back as needed.

Almost all of my 3 point implements are quick hitch compatible including the Land Pride Bush Hog. The only exception is the Italian made Enorossi sickle bar mower. It's a very annoying process to attach. For me, coupling to the tractor pto is the most difficult part mostly because of the factory guard on the shaft coupling. Great explanation of your process. Thanks.
