Good Works Tractor Co. and their latest Quick Hitch

[mcmxi]

First vid I've seen on one other than GWT. Real world use although he didn't really work it all that hard.

Right at the start of the video some of the issues with the SpeeCo quick hitch are discussed. He had to replace the lock pins, and the locking handles weren't working properly, problems that I've not encountered with a QH05, QH10 or QH15 in just about 9 years of heavy use. Perhaps the excess space between the pins and the locks are to blame for that. Regardless, neither SpeeCo or GWTC quick hitches are on my list of "'approved" implements since I have no time or interest in poorly designed $hit. There are much better choices even if they cost more.

I continue to stand by my negative comments re the QH15. It's a poor concept despite being very well made. Fortunately I was able to upgrade the QH15 to a QH16 which better suits my needs.

Very much appreciate the discussion and info in this thread. A bit over 4 decades messing with 3 points I’ve been just fine without a quick hitch, but I have thought it might be a good thing as I get older. Y’all have saved me from wasting money on one. Thank you.

just evaluate what attachments you have and then if a qh can cover those get one. they arent waste of money unless you get a cheap chinese made gwtc one... the guy makes entertaining videos but i dont believe he has good opinions on what products are good and bad.

I have the speeco E hitch. Looks to be about 1/2" gap between the top of the pin and the lock. There's only about an 1/8" gap in the cradle. It's never given me a bit of trouble.
