Steel ComparisonI’ve had a number of people ask me what the difference is between the “Super” and the “Standard” Heavy Hitches so I hope this post will shed some light! When we first started manufacturing the Heavy Hitch three point receiver adapter and suitcase weight bracket, we never imagined using it for other than moving trailers and holding suitcase weights to provide ballast, so we designed the Heavy Hitch to be the best built trailer mover and tractor ballast box money could buy…BUT…people began finding other uses for the Heavy Hitch…uses not figured into the original design…using ground engaging implements! Knowing that a lot of us like to push our sub-compact and compact tractors to their limits, we decided we needed to design a hitch that would allow tractor owners the ability to do that. Along came the “Super” Heavy Hitch. SO, just what is the difference? Wall thickness. The wall thickness of the lower tube which is a full 3? X 3? square with a receiver tube fully welded right in the middle of it. We beefed up the wall thickness on the “Super” Heavy Hitch to 3/16? . This tractor hitch is indestructible! Remember, this tractor hitch is not made out of angle iron and flat strap! Here’s a picture to illustrate the difference in wall thickness. The “Standard” Heavy Hitch on the left and the “Super” on the right.
Now one may ask why not make all the Heavy Hitches “Super” and the answer is simple: Choice! We believe you should have a choice and not have to pay for what you don’t need. Both the “Standard” and the “Super” Heavy Hitch three point tractor hitches are built to standards higher than many original equipment manufactures, so no matter which one you choose, you’re getting a quality three point accessory. Heavy Hitch…a quality three point hitch adapter for a reasonable price that isn’t cheap!

Hello
Just loaded up my heavy hitch category 2 dual weight bracket with 1400 Lb of suitcase weights. I am using that to offset the 2300 Lb landscaping blocks that i am moving with the loader on a Kubota M5 111. Seems to work great! The tractor is steady now.
I also got the suitcase weight cart. The cart comes with 4″ soft polly rollers on a plastic hub. I am sure that set up works fine for lighter loads but with a full load of 70 Lb weights the soft rollers have ALOT of resistance, the 3 point hitch on my tractor doesn’t lower enough to allow the top hook of the quick hitch to clear the top pin on the bracket. I have to tip it to the rear/catch the top pin/tip forward to engage the side pins, if you have to navigate any cracks in the concrete you are rolling around on you are stuck, and the plastic components of the casters leave a question about longevity.
For the category 2 cart 6″ casters with a metal hub and polly tread would fix all of the issues I have with the casters. I for one would be willing to pay the extra cost for the heavier casters.
Both the bracket and cart are very well built, the powder coating is top notch and i am sure they will last me for many years. No complaints with the quality and workmanship but the casters do need to be upgraded.
