3pt Quick Hitch on a Saginaw?

I've never used a 3pt Quick Hitch but wondering how handy there are. I juggle a single bottom plow, a double bottom plow, a disk, a carry-all, and this trailer hauler hitch system I am building. Takes a fair amount of moving the tractor and kicking the 3pt arms into place to connect a new implement. Wanted feedback from someone who used one to see if they are handy or a pain.

Quik hitches are wonderful.But,you have every piece of equipment the SAME dimention on the 3 point.Some toplink supports are made as so the QH will not work(My 4bottom rollover plow is one such example).On my line of equipment,I dont nave two that are the same.Therefore I do not use a QH.Before you spend money on one,look at your equipment and be sure it will accept a QH.If it wont,the qh will be sitting back in the 'iron pile'....
 
I have a quick hitch and use it for some implements but it requires a set of special bushings for each one unless you want to keep changing them. Also they are quite expensive if you buy a set for each implement. Probably would not throw $200 bucks for another. IMO
 
I used a set of these lower arm-only quick hitches from Northern when I built the 3 point for my SMTA. Not cheap, but they sure are handy. Don't have the problems with the need for all your equipment to be set at the same width. Less cumbersome to work around too, in my opinion.

Sorry you can't see them well in the picture...
