The plastic handle on it (stabalizer arm) was broken in shipping but it never hurt it's functionality for me.

SOLD the Pat's hitch.

Will this work on a 3PT mounted backhoe?

skipro3,

The system does add 3-1/2" to 4" to your lift arms, so you would need to check your hook up. We have some customers that it has worked great for and a few that it just would not work on the backhoe without modification. You do have a 30 day money back guarantee.

I've only hooked my 3 point up once and then read the reviews of PECS. Once was enough. Ordered my PECS last night, received the on-line confirmation, and 3 e-mails today including that it was on its way! can't wait!

Hey Steve, let me know how you like it. What impliments are you going to use it with?

[Sackett2]

got the PEC on time, but was too busy to do much with it; finally i started the installation (by flashlight) and had Dad finish it up the next day. They suggest in the instructions to place a broom handle and align it until it fits. Dad did that and its perfect.
Now the only three-point attachment I had was a brush hog waiting for a new gearbox, so I had nothing to test it out with.
Today I got a rear blade, and we chose to assemble it on the tractor. the first piece was the attach point and it dropped perfectly into the slots.
Finished building up the scraper and didn't know the three point had changed.
So far, no complaints at all. I'll let you know when I actually have to "quick change" something..

Help - I broke off the tab that keeps the triangular piece that locks the implement arm in place. I turned my hay rake too tight, and got the T-shaped part of the tab hooked on the rake, then lowered the arm not knowing it was so stuck, and PING! Off it flies into the hayfield.

So I can't weld it back on b/c I don't have it.

Two questions: Is it safe to use the hitch without the tab keeping pressure on the triangle piece (My guess is no...) and 2, can I buy ONE hitch?

The T part on mine has the spring to keep the hitch latched attached to it. Pat has implemented some changes over the last year or so but that part, I think preforms the same function. If the T breaks off it will allow the implement will come off abruptly. You don't want that to happen. It will break, bend and or damage the hitch, tractor or the implement.
The part that's broken is in a spares kit that Pat stocks. PM, Email or call Pat and he will send you one.
