I understand a 485 BH is fairly easy to attach/unattach to 4X20 series tractor once all the accessories for it are installed.
Question, is it fairly easy to connect & run standard 3 PH attachments after unattaching the 485 BH. ie, is wrenching on/off parts required?

no tools needed but you will have to re-install the 3 pt hitch arms.They have to be removed when putting on the BH.

Yep... (look out!) :D 4-snap ring pins - (2) on the upper and lower 3pt arms and 2 spring clips for the sway links. Oh, and the drawbar; 1 pin. That's it!!! You've just installed the 3pt.

Great news. I've got a 485 BH on order and it should be delivered, installed and ready for work within a couple of weeks. Yesterday, while attaching the rotary cutter, I thought uh-oh this may be much more involved after mounting all the BH hardware :confused:. I can sleep better now that you guys have set me straight :D.
Many thanks for the info.
