I've never used or even seen any equipment mounted on a FastHitch system. So I bought a FastHitch system and a plow for my SC as I wanted to give it a try. After installing the system and hooking up the plow I gave it a trial in a back field. The lift system works fine but the touch control doesn't work so well. The biggest problem I had was leveling the plow from side to side. The flat bar is in the back hole of the rockerarm. The flat bar does not line up well with the inside rockshaft. I don't see any way to adjust the flat-bar inward for better alignment. I does work, it doesn't bind, but it could be better. The major problem I have is leveling the plow from side to side. Pushing the touch control lever all the way down causes the plow to be very high on the right side. Pushing the touch control lever fully upward causes the plow to be nearly level but it's still a little high on the right side. The leveling rod that is controlled by the flat bar attaches to each side of the lifting arms. The attachment device, between the leveling rod and the lift arms has two holes with pull-out pins. This is the only place on the whole system that I can see would be a place of adjustment of the side-to-side adjustment. I pulled the pin on the left side and relocated the pin to the other hole. This may have helped a little, but it's still not really level. So, I'm confused. How is the system set up where it is initially level so the touch control lever can be used to raise or lower the plow from side to side?
