Had an idea yesterday for an easy way to hook up attachments, but since I haven't yet bought my tractor I don't have a way to try it out. I'd be curious to hear if anyone uses this or if you think it will work.
Idea is simple: when you lower and detach an implement, before driving away mark exactly where the tractor was positioned, ideally by using big chocks behind the rear wheels that you can just leave in place until you want to use the attachment again. Then, to hook it back up, just back into the wheel chocks and when you lower the 3ph arms they should be spot on to hook up to the attachment. I do realize that:
-you will need really big wheel chocks to avoid the tractor pushing them or driving over them
-this will work far better on something flat and level like a concrete pad than on uneven dirt
So, does anyone use this method? Any idea where I can get really big wheel chocks?
