Fit perfectly on my cub cadet tractor.
This product exceeded my expectations, it is well built and works great with my box scraper.

Puts the “tractor” in lawn tractor
The sleeve hitch has been a game changer for me. I can spend a lot of money on implements (or even a new motor) before I’m anywhere close to the cost of a subcompact tractor, and still accomplish 90% or more of my needs. Machine - 2003 Poulan Pro 700EX, 26hp, 54” mower deck. Use - 10 acres, mountainous, sloped, mixed grassy-wooded areas too tight for a tow-behind brush hog. Machine needs to mow, plow snow, grade, rake, and cultivate. Primary implements: 40” box blade, 60” landscape rake The hitch is sturdy, simple, and easy to install. Having the ability to use rear implements makes the lawn tractor so much more than a mower. I have two minor complaints: 1. The down position is float only, meaning weight needs to be added to the implement for a more aggressive bite. This is common for all manual sleeve hitches. 2. The lever is awkward is for me in the down position. I’m over 6’ and I have to stretch for the lever. An hour of moving gravel with the box blade or using the landscape rake under the trees will leave me with a sore shoulder. (Though expensive, I resolved both of these issues with an aftermarket accessory from Johnny Products. Absolutely worth every penny!) Disclaimer: I believe I am at the absolute limit of practical usability for a riding mower given my acreage. I don’t have stump pulling torque or a PTO. I have to be realistic about what my machine and implements can accomplish, and what will cause breakage.

Works great
Worked as described. With my 2023 Cub Cadet XT2 just fine. Had no problem assembling it

Great sleeve hitch!
Easier than expected to assemble. Because my Craftsman T240 mower already had the grass catcher, I didn't need to install the mounting adapters (plates with mounting lugs). The instructions don't cover this situation. So if you already have the two lugs on your tractor it saves a little effort. Also ended up using the highest adjuster bar setting for my box grader. Well built, good welds. Would prefer bolts with lock nuts and washers to the two lower mount clevis pins (way too much slack) and using a clevis pin for the lower mounting plate to tractor connection permits easier removal.

Be prepared for major modifications
NO assembly instructions, missing clevis pins and DOESN'T fit as advertised! Haven't finished installing yet because of welding the plates in place. Other than that I believe this is going to work for me.

Just what I needed
I needed a sleeve hitch to mount to the back oy my riding mower. I have a John Deere and knew this was not going to fit correctly, but I got it anyway. I was able to rig it up with some washers and steel plates, and it works great! The lift and lower mechanism works well and my rock rake is easy to get on and off. You need to watch for the handle, as it sticks out a bit past the edge of the back wheel, and I took a turn too sharp and hit it, which bent my rigged up mount. It is a great sturdy well built sleeve hitch. no complaints

Better than expected!
Best rated sleeve hitch I could find under $200. Installed on my husbands Husqvarna 354xd. Haven't hooked up any attachments to it yet but initial install was not difficult. Bolt holes lined up with no issues. Heavy duty pars feel sturdy.

L’attachement est relativement facile à installer moyennement quelques modifications pour l’adapter à mon tracteur husqvarna yt 46 ls .Il sera mis à l’essai ce printemps. C’est un excellent rapport qualité prix

Very sturdy, heavy build. Takes some adjusting and minor modifications depending on what you’re putting in it but definitely worth the price. I would buy again.

Before buying I've contacted the seller seeing that in the picture a XT3 Cub Cadet was shown, so asked him if it really fitted even if it doesn't state it in the description. Seller confirmed that it's a fit. Received it, and after assembly, of course it doesnt fit. Blocked by gaz tank, oil dipstick hole not lining up and mounting bolt hole either on the frame with the brackets. Well made product but not sure the seller knows much about it, but surely does know how to Photoshop :)

Although this product has Husquavarna in the description it does not fit a Husqvarna lawn tractor. The word Craftsman also appears and I suspect that it fits one of these tractors. Very disappointing item.
