I now had the opportunity to use the quick hitch and found that it doesn’t work properly on the tiller and the brush hog. When installed on the tiller the attachment pins that you secure the tractor's arms to the tiller, brake or pop off when you raise the tiller & make a turn. Too much sway. Had to take off the quick hitch to use.
Also, when installed on the brush hog the top link that you attach to the PTO is about six inches too short. However, it does work when installed on the spreader.

I have one and really only use it when i am plowing and discing. also box blading. it's nice to be able to change quickly . running my brush hog i like it to be connected the right way to my tractor!

That sway can be eliminated, by tightening the links on the sway bars, IWe have them on all out big tractors and they are a lifesaver, I think something might not be hooked up just right, I dont believe I would use one on a mower,, but it should work.....
