I have a Speeco Cat 2 Quick Hitch: LINK but it's quite heavy for me to remove from the tractor. My new favorite is a Pat's: LINK but it is a two point quick hitch so you do still have to attach the top link. Each has it's advantage and disadvantage.

I have a Cat 1 Pat's quick hitch. I like it because I don't have to adapt my implements to all be the same width. Pat's allows the three point arms to move in and out and yes, you do still need a top link.

I have taken the hour needed to adapt to fit anything that doesn't. You do that one time and never leave the seat again.

As stated in Reply #2 above, I have a Speeco Quick hitch, but yesterday the John Deere got outfitted with PAT's quick hitch. I already have a PAT's system on the Kubota M4900.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each system. The Speeco will not connect to a couple of my implements, plus there is the additional weight which is sometime needed and sometime needs to be avoided.
