Thanks OrangeRidge. I just placed my order at TBN. Can't wait to try them out.

Make sure the hitches are spread to the correct separation BEFORE you adjust the alignment to "square" ( the 2 bolts assem on each side ) with the implement pin orientation , or it won't hook-up to the Hog neatly.
You'll easily see what I mean if it's out-of-wack when you first attach something.

OH OH. I already placed my order a couple of nights ago with TBN. I picked up a can of Kubota gray paint today, intending to paint them before I put them on. Thanks, Carl.

my lower pins/bracket on my box blade is bent from years of use and abuse.
Will that cause an issue if I was to purchase these?

[Carl k]

Don't know, but if it does they should be easy enough to change out with new pins from TSC. I Just reread your message. If the bracket that the pins attach to is bent, then I would think the easy change brackets would not hook up.

[OrangeRidge]

Your pins should be pretty close to 90 degrees to the Pat's Hitch hook-up connector , or there maybe an engagement issue.
Why not bend the imple. pins assem. back to square ? Bit of heat and a hammer ;-)

Whoo Hoo! The UPS man just delivered Pat's easy change hitches today. I ordered them Monday night from TBN and received them Friday afternoon. What quick service! I will install them tomorrow morning when the temperature cools down a bit.

I installed the hitches on my Kubota L3800 Sunday. They fit perfectly! I made one change though. I changed out the 4 jam nuts, the lower of the 2 nuts, on the u-bolts for 3/8-16 ny-locks I got from Lowes. This way if a jam nut does come loose, it wont unscrew itself off.

Just oredered the system, with the equalizer bar, from this site. I have all my implements on dollys, but anything I can do to make it easier works for me. I might be a little lazy, but it "works for me".

Just ordered a Cat 2 system w/ Stabilizer Bar! Can't wait to get them so I can safely hook up my 10' rotary cutter!
