New AGKNX cat 1 quick hitch for the John Deere 3038e - featuring Dak the barn cat

An owner's first-time installation of an AGKNX Category 1 quick hitch on a John Deere 3038E, with a direct price comparison: $150 at Runnings (includes bushings and clevis) vs. $139 at Harbor Freight (requires drilling, no extras) vs. $400 for the John Deere branded version. Shows the actual mounting process, a honest minor mistake during unhooking, and a candid first impression. Best for 3038E owners weighing budget quick-hitch options.
