The Easy Change system modifies only the lower two (lift) links of the 3-point hitch by adding extensions to them. These extensions allow quick connection to the attachment lift pins. The top link is connected using the normal connection process. I’ve often wondered why tractor manufacturers continue to supply the standard ‘ball’ connection ...
This is the quick hitch I have. I didn’t purchase it from the Amazon link here. Rather I purchased from Harbor Freight with a 20% off coupon. This hitch is the most cost effective on the market.

Take one look at my tractor, you’ll see my choice. Harbor Freight (Chinese) quick hitch with replacement extended hook. This is purely because of cost reasons. Before my MAGA friends blast me for this recommendation, remember that it is very likely that the I-Match is not made in USA either. If you are purchasing your tractor new, you can certainly...
The three-point hitch is a standardized method of attaching implements (equipment) to tractors, first developed by Harry Ferguson in the 1920s. The three-point hitch uses two lower connection points and one upper point which provides a rigid connection. Hydraulic cylinders operate on the lower arms to raise and lower the implement.

The category of a three point hitch is really very simply referring to the size of these balls on the back and the size of the pins that go into them. The smallest hitch category is category zero. We don't actually even have any category zero stuff out here on our lots. It's typically reserved for the smallest garden tractors that typically can ...
