Re: Pat\'s Easy Change System - Order Online!
Ordered a set of the Easy Change System last Tuesday, received them at the house on Thursday, did a quick check out of the installing and played with them on Friday evening, and completed the installation of them on Saturday. Total time for installation including removal of my ball cap and head scratching to figure things out was about an hour. Whoops - this does not include the time to find the tools necessary to do the job. Just a few by the way.
The instructions could use a little more work to help with the installation process, but they are workable. I used the system on Sunday afternoon to till various portions of our garden area, dig a furrow with the potato plow, use the back blade to prepare the bed's for sweet potatoes, and then to put on the drawbar to tow the lawn sweeper.
Alignment of the tractor to the equipment is still an issue, but being able to drop the lower hitch arms and pick up the implement is nice. I'll have to make a couple of minor adjustments to get the system aligned properly - adjustment of the four set screws should take just a few minutes.
All-in-all, it is a good system and I'm expecting to save my back, legs, and arms from some of the painful implement man-handling. $200 investment = saved $$$$$ in back injuries!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
