Ordered a new quick hitch for my tractor, (Cat II with Cat I hooks) to make it easier and more useful with different implements. I always need to adjust the top link to keep the implement level which at this time is a car, and/or utility hauler trailer, rear tiller, post hole auger, rear mount mower, etc. I'm adding to this inventory when something is needed as I don't like to borrow things.
Thanks,

They are super handy when box-blading! Change angle of blade at any time without leaving the seat.I put power beyond and aux controls on my compact utility tractor just to add this feature, and it was well worth it. Installed a 2-spool valve block so I’ll have an extra control ready to plumb in when I finally get a grapple for the loader.

Ah yes, I remember well when having a three point box blade the adjustments to the top link to get desired result. I don't have one any longer as went 1/2s on an 8' wide tongue pull one with hydraulic elevation. Partner has a very long gravel drive and this is used maintaining that and the occasional grooming of my parking area. It does a nice job being independent of the tractor.

Just purchased one for our fence stretcher that I use on my 160. It worked great, highly recommend one. Worked well for the 3pt fertilizer spreader last week also.

You are using it as a "pull in" hydaulic puller? I can see that working very well for that purpose. What kind of hydraulic pressure does a 160 make?
