TIlt or Ramps
TomRoberts: that sounds like a neat trailer, post some pictures if you have time. I've got a 25 ft. goose neck beavertail. It works nice with the tail up to haul really long things, and also works nice with the tail down and slide out ramps for loading. It would be nice if the beavertail were hydraulic rather than crank up, but I guess there is a fine line between what we really need and what we can afford. One of the neat things I've missed since we no longer have cattle is the smell of fresh alfalfa. Frank.

TIlt or Ramps
TomRoberts: I know it's something I'm doing wrong as I'm not the most computer literate fellow on the block, but I wasn't able to make your pictures come up. One of the boys will be by the house later and he'll know how to make it work. I don't know if you were asking about my Land Pride quick coupler or someone elses, but here goes. Quick hitches aren't perfect, but there a far cry from lining up pins in 3 pt. arms. It helps a lot to be on a level surface. Usually when changing from one impliment to another the top link of the 3 pt. will have to be adjusted either longer or shorter not only for hitching up but to level the tool for proper field operation later. I don't have one but there are hydraulic top links available that would likely make it even more convenient. After you've did it a few times it becomes pretty routine. Far as PTO shaft length, so far I've not had anything that was too short. This part has been hashed a few times before about quick hitch brands, but I bought Land Pride because of their adjustable upper hook. As cat.1 3pt. hitches were being developed nobody seemed to set a standard as to the distance between the axis of the lower pins to the axis of the top link pin, so an adjustable top hook comes in handy for that. I'm sure other brands offer that feature as well. Far as play in the hitch system because of the extra hitch points being involved, the is bound to be some, but not enough that it's a big deal. Have a great day. Frank.
