Few things I think better of the Super than the GT hitch if I were to put one on a non pto tractor-
One is the rear plate is extended out about 3.5". On the GT hitch there is a hole for the lift bar to exit the plate, I find this unacceptable and un necissary. The lift arms are mounted to the rear axle as they should be so pull is NOT transfered through the rear plate to the frame and then to the rear axle which in my opinion unnecissarily adds stress to the frame and plate. Also on the lift rods there is about an inch of float with gives you about 2"+ at the end of the lift arms. The GT hitch requires the use of the tractor rock shaft to allow float and therefor you cannot utilize the down pressure the Supers have.
For my own purposes I've thought of using two '82' lift cylinders between the rear plate and the tranny cover for lift thus eliminating the lift rod altogether and eliminating all the stress on the frame. Should be easy and cheap except for the dual spool.
