DESCRIPTION

The Schnell Industries High Lift Planter Hitch is a premium heavy-duty solution engineered to convert your John Deere planter system from 2-point linkage to a durable drawbar configuration with maximum efficiency. Built with a patented ¾” and 1” reinforced steel plate structure, this hitch delivers exceptional strength and long-term durability for demanding agricultural operations.

Designed for 150 to 300+ HP tractors, it features a remarkable 48.5” lift capacity, allowing seamless handling of larger, heavier modern planters. The Category 4 pintle hitch with ball swivel system minimizes wear while ensuring smooth articulation during field operation. Installation is quick and efficient with a no-welding, bolt-on and pin-on design, saving time and reducing modification costs.

Perfect for high-performance farming, this hitch supports expanding planter sizes while maintaining structural stability, making it a reliable upgrade for serious agricultural productivity and compatibility with multiple John Deere planter models.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction Design Built with a ¾” and 1” industrial-grade steel plate structure, the hitch delivers unmatched strength and durability. It is engineered to withstand extreme field loads, heavy planter weights, and continuous agricultural use without bending, cracking, or structural fatigue over time.
  • High Lift Capacity Performance The 48.5-inch lift system enables superior vertical range, allowing operators to handle large and heavy planters with ease. This enhanced lift capability ensures smoother field transitions, improved ground clearance, and efficient handling of modern high-capacity farming equipment.
  • 150–300+ HP Tractor Compatibility Specifically designed for high-horsepower tractors ranging from 150 HP to 300+ HP, this hitch ensures optimal power transfer and operational balance. It is ideal for large-scale farming operations requiring heavy-duty planter transport and stable field performance.
  • No-Welding Installation System Featuring a bolt-on and pin-on installation design, this hitch eliminates the need for welding or permanent modifications. This reduces installation time, lowers labor costs, and allows quick setup or removal without damaging existing planter structures.
  • Category 4 Pintle Hitch System Equipped with a Category 4 pintle hitch with integrated ball swivel, it reduces stress and wear on the drawbar connection. This design improves articulation, minimizes friction damage, and ensures long-term reliability during demanding agricultural operations.
  • Optional Category 5 Upgrade Support The hitch platform is designed to support an optional Category 5 configuration upgrade, offering enhanced strength and compatibility for even heavier and more advanced planter systems used in large-scale commercial farming environments.
  • John Deere Planter Compatibility Engineered for seamless integration with John Deere planter systems, this hitch ensures reliable conversion from 2-point linkage to drawbar style. It supports multiple JD models for improved flexibility and farming equipment adaptability.
  • Heavy Load Stability Engineering The reinforced structural geometry provides excellent load distribution, ensuring stable performance even under maximum planter weight conditions. This reduces stress on tractor connections and enhances operational safety in rough field environments.
  • Ball Swivel Reduced Wear System The integrated ball swivel hitch design minimizes friction and directional stress during movement. This significantly reduces wear on the drawbar connection, extending equipment life and improving long-term performance reliability.
  • Extended Equipment Lift Geometry Optimized lift geometry ensures smooth elevation and lowering of planters, improving field maneuverability. This allows operators to maintain consistent planting depth control while navigating uneven terrain efficiently.
  • No Modification Required Design No structural changes are needed for installation on compatible planters. This preserves original equipment integrity while enabling fast conversion, making it a cost-effective upgrade solution for modern farming operations.
  • Industrial Agricultural Durability Built for demanding agricultural environments, the hitch withstands harsh field conditions, heavy vibration, and continuous load cycles. It is engineered for long-term durability and consistent performance under intensive farming workloads.
  • Wide Planter Model Compatibility Compatible with multiple John Deere planter series including 1770, 1775, 1790, 1795, and 7200 models, offering versatile application across different planting systems and farm equipment setups.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
