Pat's Easy Change Real World Test& 1 question

GregH · May 2, 2007

Got my Easy Changes lines up , tightened and used Loctite on all threads. Attempted to attach to my Disc Harrow and guess what, IT WAS SO EASY. Finished with that and went to the rear blade. It is set up for Cat 1 or 2, once again it was sooooo much easier. Only question is will moving the implement 3.5 inches further back increase wear and tear on the lift system to any great amount. Also I need a yet longer top link. Already got the longest I could find. For the rear blade I need a longer one. On the disc I am okay with the longer one from TSC>

GREAT PRODUCT, a wonderful labor saver!!!

Don't have answers, but questions. What tractor are you using and what length toplink??

GregH · May 2, 2007

Kubota L4310 and the toplink is the longest one I could find at TSC.
thanks

Any other options anyone knows of for longer top links? I also have run into the same thing with my bush hog, needs to be longer....it is almos maxed all the way out (top-link)

I also have Pat's easy change system on my worn out MF 135 - works great. My question, what is the best way to add a stabilzer bar to this setup? Before the easy change we used an adjustable side bar to keep everything from swaying / moving side to side. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have not ordered from this company, but have talked to customers that have and they were pleased.

Top Links

The stabilizer bar can be ordered seperatly if you need it.

KwTN,

We have extra long pins that might work for you. We make them for the Ford set up. Is this what you are looking for? Let me know. We keep some around for the Ford's with the arm that fits over the pin.

Pat, I have one of the longer toplinks, it will go at least 36 inches. I may have to find someone that can cut the body, and sleeve it to lengthen it. It is only an issue I think on my Bush Hog brand 6 ft rear blade.
Thanks for the interest!

Great product and wonderful customer service. I knew when I purchased the units that I would have issues with the toplink. No surprises! I am not complainging about theproduct at all!!!!

Greg,

The model Product# TL1024 at this site says 39". I don't know if that would give you enough or not, but it is a lot cheaper than Tractor Supply's.
