Quick Hitch for Category I 3-Point GWT Fast CAT I

GWT Fast Cat I QUICK HITCH

A Category I 3-Point Quick Hitch to make connecting attachments easier.

We don’t operate a tractor without a quick hitch because there is no reason not to. Most 3-Point attachments are quick hitch compatible, and even some that weren’t are being redesigned to fit (like the Del Morino Funny Top Flail Mower).

The GWT Fast Cat I will make connecting to a rear attachment so much easier. Sometimes you can hook up without leaving your seat.

If you’re shopping for a Category I Quick Hitch there is no reason to use one that doesn’t use a direct pin fitment. This means that the pins on your attachment will fit directly into the lower hook of the quick hitch.

Most quick hitches have an oversized lower hook that requires you to place a bushing over the attachment’s pin before slotting onto the quick hitch. This is an unnecessary cost and item to keep track of. GWT’s Fast Cat Quick Hitch doesn’t require a bushing.

We designed the GWT Fast Cat to improve on our best selling Speeco E-Hitch in every way we can think of, including pieces that used to be additional purchases and increasing the warranty from 1 year to 2 years.

HOW TO OPERATE Safer ON YOUR TRACTOR

Counterweight Bundles for your quick hitch

One thing a compact tractor needs to operate safely is ballast weight (or counterweight) to offset loads on the front-end loader. Check your loader’s manual to see just how much you need, but know that you need a lot!

The Quick Hitch itself only adds 72 lb, but it is designed to hold our GWT Hitch Hangers. These are two weight brackets that strap to your GWT Fast Cat I and carry up to 3 suitcase weights each (one on the left side and one on the right side). If you use 41 lb weights, that’s an additional 225 lb all in with the quick hitch (72 lb), hitch hangers (15 lb), and suitcase weights. If you use 70 lb weights increase that total 352 lb.

You can add Hitch Hangers alone or Hitch Hangers with your choice of six suitcase weights to your quick hitch order.

This ballast weight system not only leaves open the use of your 3-Point, while not sitting any wider than your tractor, but with the use of the quick hitch it actually improves the usability of your tractor.

We have an entire Weight Bundle designed to save you money while keeping you safer. Check out the GWT Ultimate Weight Bundle here.
