Before you buy a quick hitch measure the distance between the "cat. pins" on 
all of your 3 pt equipment and check the space between the latches on the 
adapter.
3 pt equipment was not built with the use of quick hitches in mind and the 
spacing varies, sometimes widely" from one piece of equipment to another.
