Product Description
IMPACT IMPLEMENTS
IMPACT IMPLEMENTS are the ORIGINAL go-to implements for ATV, UTV, and lawn/garden tractor owners looking for tough & affordable tools for their landscaping projects and small food plots. And when you buy an IMPACT IMPLEMENT, you know you are getting the original design right from the heartland of the American farming community!
We start by designing each IMPACT IMPLEMENT at our headquarters in Minnesota with skilled engineers and agricultural experts who are part of the farming world and know how to create with easy and sturdy attachment in mind. Our durable implements find the sweet spot in performance and versatility — heavy enough to do the job well, and lightweight enough to maneuver. And IMPACT IMPLEMENTS were designed to equip any vehicle with a 2-inch hitch for a wide variety of tasks on any food plot, lawn, or landscaping project site.
Over the years, our IMPACT IMPLEMENTS have often been copied by random overseas companies that only know how to read data, make pictures, copy products, and flood the market. Unfortunately, they often use cheap materials to try to win on lowest price instead of quality, and don’t understand critical angles and design features to make sure those who actually use implements have the best performance and durability. IMPACT IMPLEMENTS are designed to last and perform for many years.
IMPACT IMPLEMENTS also consistently expands its lineup to ensure you have the right tools for the job. Clear brush and debris with the IMPACT Landscape Rake; grade driveways and level dirt with the IMPACT Rear Box Blade; cut deep seed furrows with the IMPACT Cultivator; chop and loosen soil with the IMPACT Disc Plow; dig trenches and lay off garden rows with the IMPACT Middle Buster; drag garbage cans up long driveways with the IMPACT Can Hauler, or prepare the perfect seed bed with the IMPACT Cultipacker. No matter the machine you own or the task you’re facing, IMPACT IMPLEMENTS has a tool for you with more being added every year!

First of all, this thing is HEAVY! But it’s super easy to put together like a big erector set. My problems began when I went to actually install it onto the hitch adapter. The hitch on my Grizzly is TOO LOW for this unit. No matter what I did to raise the hitch to get clearance and crank the lift up as far as it would go…….I was still not able to get the cultivator off the ground. So I detached it, added a 3 way hitch to gain lift, TURNED THE WHOLE LIFT AROUND, and installed it that way. That gave me the lift I needed plus the clearance needed to still be able to turn the lift/lower handle without hitting the back cargo rack. Like others have noted, this is a very sloppy linkage to begin with, so with the added hitch it just gets sloppier. But as you can see from the photos it still does the job I needed it for – busting up grassy over grown raised beds. The ground is uneven, I suspect once I get it flat things will move much smoother. Even though it didn’t go on easily and I had a bit of a panic when it wasn’t setting right, I don’t regret this purchase and it sure beats doing all this by hand! If you’re looking to do harder and more in depth work, I strongly suggest a 3 point solid hitch for the attachments.

Tighten the bolts properly, if you go too tight it won’t move, too loose and it may fall apart, this isn’t rocket surgery, but if you put this together and nothing moves, you’ve messed up.Also, find grease that works for your temperatures, I’m in Northern MN so I needed something that works to -40 or so, and I have that in a grease that works from -75 to over 500 degrees.Grease the threaded rod, a lot, now wind it up and down completely a couple times, now grease it a lot again… if you’ve used good grease this thing should be smooth and simple to operate, it’s amazing what grease can do.Throw it in your rig, see how it sits, adjust height and go, but with the understanding that this isn’t a $2k attachment, it’s $200, so your truck in 4lo with the 454 big block and 54″ mud boggers will tear it apart if you don’t mind your throttle. Side load isn’t going to be great for it, look at it, should be obvious.Just keep that stuff in mind and maybe slow down when needed, be a little more careful in those areas…Also, add weight racks or bins or whatever to the implements and add weight to them to get them to work better, really torquing down on this arm and using the implement leveraged against vehicle will wear hard on this, you can do it, but adding weight to the implements would be a far better plan. Let that weight get them to dig down, scrape the driveway easier and so on, instead of torquing this arm till it screams.So, it works… After greasing and running her up and down a few times, she’s smooth, easy to operate, quick.I actually use it with my truck, using the blade to pull snow at the moment.Updated 12/15/23: Ordered another one point lift as the bolt holes broke on one part of the first, that’s fine enough, I’ll live.What isn’t fine is that the new one came missing major pieces, I was able to pirate them from the broken one, but this thing was packaged abysmally, I don’t even understand how a person would do this and send it out and think it’s remotely ok.So, down to 3/5 stars. I now see they have an updated Heavy Duty version of this lift, would have gone that route but a moot point now, imagine I’ll go that route in the future though.

After reading some negative review I was reluctant to buy this. I found it to be well designed and it works well with the box blade. Be sure to lubricate the mainnscrew before use.

This heavy-duty hitch works great even on my Deere Lawn Tractor. Now I can add implements of different kinds without a large full-sized tractor to do it with.

Heavy duty unit, simple to assemble. I just needed to add extra washers in between te hinged arm lift. The spacing helped a lot.

I think it will be a great tool.,welds were not fit orfinished just right.Other than that really solid equipment.Thanks. Adjustment 3 sided plate would not line up due to welds and radius of tube didn’t work out.Larger tube say 2×3 and possibly slight up down slot and also using sleeve and grade 8 bolt. Thanks again John Barrett

ok

The bracket that attached to the receiver broke and bent within the first hour while trying to grade gravel drive. That point of attachment needs to be the strongest, but in this design it is the weakest and most vulnerable point for failure.

You will need to purchase a couple connectors to use these with the atv. Was difficult to figure out what I needed. I just brought both pieces to the farm equipment shop and was set up with my needs pretty quickly
