Yeah, Pat's system works great! But you still may need to get the implement's pins higher off the ground. I use a jackstand.

Easy Change works well for me though you still need to approach the implement straight on. Sometimes I just don't seem to be able to do it. :confused2:
When I do manage to get lined up, I don't have to get off the tractor to get the bottom pins matched and latched. Just need to put the top link into place.
I need to find me another cheap jack stand. Planning to get me a new landscape rake soon and I'll want one for it.

watch cheap tool store sales, and yard sales. every now and then you can get light to medium duty jack stands at cheap tool stores inthe 10-15$ range. I've picked up yard sale stands for 5-10$ can't have too mank jack stands..

Got the rake today. I purchased it from everything attachments online. It came with a built in stand. The stand is a single metal dowl with a foot and a pin so the rake stands up when not attached to the tractor. Not a bad idea and great for my back. Thanks everyone for your advise. Like I've posted before I have never owned nor needed to own a tractor before purchasing these 5 acres. Boy what a difference it makes !
