GWT Hitch Hangers are weight brackets that mount to your quick hitch and provide a place to hang counterweight and leave room for a 3-Point attachment. In addition to providing safety for a front-end loader, they also can increase traction and provide downforce for ground-engaging attachments.

Sold as a pair and compatible with the GWT Fast Cat I quick hitch, as well as the SpeeCo E-Hitch or any other quick hitch with similar geometry. To shop Hitch Hangers for your John Deere iMatch, check out this listing here.

Description

GWT Hitch Hanger Weight Bracket Description

The Hitch Hanger is a weight bracket that attaches with a simple strap connection to your quick hitch, allowing you to hang up to six suitcase weights in total (41 or 70 lb), while still keeping the connection to your quick hitch and your 3-point attachment available.

How much counterweight do you need?

The answer to this is tractor specific, but your manual might indicate the recommended rear ballast or counterweight to balance against your front-end loader. This can be in the form of liquid ballast in you wheels, wheel weights, and the weight of the rear attachment itself. But often this is not enough weight to hit the manufacturer recommended total.

Enter the hitch hanger, which provides a solution to gain that additional weight without increasing your footprint.

WhAT 3-PT ATTACHMENTS NEED MORE WEIGHT?

A 3-Pt Hitch does not produce any down-pressure (contrary to popular belief), so if you are running a ground engaging attachment you’re reliant upon the weight of that attachment for all of its digging power. This includes plows, discs, pluggers, aerators, tillers, and box-blades or graders.

Some attachments will have a shelf for adding weight, but many do not. Using our Hitch Hangers is a great way to gain downward force for that attachment, providing better, faster results.

WILL THESE FIT MY EXACT QUICK HITCH?

Quick Hitch geometries are not the same. Our Hitch Hangers have been specifically designed for three quick hitches on the market: the GWT Fast Cat I, the Speeco Cat 1 E-Hitch Quick Hitch and the John Deere iMatch. We prefer the GWT Fast Cat as it improves upon the already solid Speeco E-Hitch. We do not sell the John Deere iMatch.

***ATTENTION!***

We’ve had a few customers with John Deere suitcase weights that either don’t slide down onto the rail because the steel is too thick or the horn of the weight is too wide and the nose hits the flat wall of the Hitch Hanger.  There doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to this mystery and most aren’t affected.

Pictures in the listing to show these areas with dimensions. If you are using John Deere weights, please make sure they’ll fit.

If you want weights to go along with your Hitch Hangers, then check out the Hitch Hanger Bundle listing instead.

Two dimensions to check:

  • The rail is 1/2″ thick, so the slot on your weights needs to be slightly larger than this at minimum to slide over.
  • The gap inside the Hitch Hanger is 2 3/8″ wide.  So, measure from the end of the horn to the hanging slot.  Your dimension needs to be smaller than 2 3/8″ wide.

Warranty

Every GWT product is covered by a 1-Year Factory Warranty starting from the day of delivery.

What is covered

Your GWT Factory Warranty covers issues stemming from the craftsmanship of the product, like broken welds, torn steel, or improper fit. Our tools are generally designed to be used in harsh environments, so normal wear-and-tear is not covered (things like lost paint or chipped paint, scratches, dents, or bent teeth).

We will repair or replace, at our discretion, your GWT product so long as it is covered under warranty.

What isn’t covered

Any shipping necessary for repair or replacement, as well as transportation costs are not covered under the factory warranty. Lost time and down time are not covered. Replacement parts are covered, but not labor costs.

If damage occurs from improper use (a use other than what the product is marketed for), the warranty is void. Damage caused to your tractor while using a GWT product will not be covered.

Your warranty is non-transferable, meaning it exists as long as you’re the owner and operator of the product.

Extended Warranties

For each GWT product you have the option to increase the standard 1-Year Warranty to a Lifetime Warranty! This takes the exact same coverage and extends it in perpetuity from date of delivery.
