Good Friday morning,

I'm awaiting delivery of an l4060HST (ordered 1 year ago and just arrived at the dealership). I'm purchasing an LP brush hog for heavy cutting around a field, roads, and such. I'm interested in a finish mower for the field itself (approximately 7 acres of grass and light weeds). The only video I can find connecting a finish mower to a quick hitch (also LP) is for the LP grooming mower. Does anyone have experience connecting other (read cheaper) brand finish mowers to a LP QH?

Thanks!

It may be a very hit-or-miss situation with anything other than Land Pride. I have a Land Pride FDR 1660 that connects to my Land Pride QH 10, but it is not a normal connection. The QH 10 bottom hooks grab the mower's floating arms, but the top connection is made by the QH 10 plates (come with the QH 10) linking to the mower's top floating yoke. The entire connection allows the mower to float over a very wide arc. The QH 10's top hook is not touching anything.

I hope this helps - good luck.

I have a 1660 with a Speeco quick hitch and I honestly think I would be faster hooking up without the quick hitch. I have to put an adapter on for the mower to operate properly. If I remember tomorrow I will get a pic.

Move the hook up. The top hook can be loose on the implement that’s normal

FWIW, my QH10 does not contact anything at any setting

And - Yes, I agree it is a try/test it situation with anything other than LP, and even an LP might have limitations depending on the tractor and mower.
