PHD have their own top link, not a removable one like most other implements. I think every phd I've seen would not work with a quick hitch, but i haven't seen everything. :) Measure the width between pins on all your implements, must be the same. Measure the height between the lower pins & the top link pin - must be the same on all implements. Check that there is room around each lower pin for the bigger J-hook of the quick hitch - some implements are too close on an angle iron or the like. Top pins frequently give trouble on this - they have some obstruction that doesn't allow the bigger hook to engage from the quick hitch. A few pto items might have too short of a shaft now, with the 2-3" added to the connection. A heavy load, like your bale spear, will probably make the front end too light, or the 3pt won't lift the load any more because it's moved back 3". I doubt the post hole digger will work with a quick hitch. Now, _if_ you get all that worked out & set up & all matching, then a quick hitch is a great help! :) So, do the homework. I don't bother with the cat 1 stuff as that is pretty easy to hook up, but as someone else said, for my bigger tractor I just got one this year, switching between the plow, 15 row planter, row cultivator, and field cultivator was killing me, now back up, lift, & ready to go. :) --->Paul
