Early JD was very light, so are some current ones you find at fleet stores. I"ve had two since the 70s and 80s. One was made by that outfit in Jeffers, MN, maybe the other as well, but slightly different design, and sold through local JD dealers. 70s had a pushrod to lock, (harder to operate), but side frames and bottom hook are the same width. 80s one has a snap over center operating handle, but the lower hooks are narrower than the side frame, so harder to center. One I rebuilt to handle cat 2 or 3, so used on a Case 2470, then JD 4450 MFWD, both near 200 hp. No structural problems with either one all these years. Only operating hassle is hyd hoses on towed equipment snagging in the hooks, open or closed, while turning. Solved that with an inch pipe, cut to fit, with large washer on each end...lock into the hooks and lay the hoses over the top of the pipe. Also easier on the hoses when parked- upper hitch member would drop onto them, stretching them- now the QH drops to the drawbar, and that cross pipe holds it up.
