I have the quicklink sold by Northern Tool on my 30 HP Kubota. It's essentially the same setup as what you're looking at. It makes changing implements very easy - no kicking, pulling, or swearing!! It also lengthens your hitch clearance- this helped me with an old set of plows that I use. The other quick hitch that is shaped like an upside down 'U' are a fixed width and not very good for different width implements.

I just expermented with the quick link for the past 3 days, It worked great for the3 pt. spreader & brush hog after a little tinkering with the upper lift arm.When I used it on the brush hog you have to lent the upper arm all the way out. The spreader that I have ismost likly for a bigger tractor (CAT II) and this is the first time I ever used the spreader. When I first tried to install the spreader a couple a weeks ago, the rods on the side of the spreader would not fit onto the tractor's swing arms. The Quick link made a easy install.
However, when hooked up to the tiller the PTO shaft was a little short becasue it pulled out from the tiller twice. I may have been at fault. I also think the shaft got bent a little because I had a hard time inserting the two peices that go back on the tiller together. I did use the tiller hooked up the old fashion way after cursing & swearing. I'm still new learning everything about the tractor, tiller, speader, & food plots, etc. because I have nobody to show me, so everything is by trial & error. Would I recommend this product, Yes, I got it on E-Bay.
