Here are some Pat's at an unbelievable price. First looker will probably be the first buyer.
OBO Pats Premium Catergory 2 Quick Change 3 Point Hitch Tractor | eBay
They used to have some that I use made in Indiana for under $100 but not showing today. I had Pat's and sold them.

Get a John Deere imatch. I don't think it can be beat for the price and quality.
With Pats easy change you will need a longer toplink and the thing to hold the lift arms in place.
With a quick hitch you will need quick hitch compatible equipment.

I use a HF, cheap; but does not come with all the bushings and pieces the others do. Put it all together for half the price of a Land Pride the dealer wanted to peddle.

Here is a video I made showing some of the differences between a harbor freight QH and a JD Imatch
There are a few modifications that need to be made to a harbor freight quick hitch to get it going. Click the link in my sig.

X2. The higher-quality gear is sure nice but the HF has been acceptable for my needs (LP rotary cutter aka shredder, LP rake, Armstrong box blade, brand X grader blade). I haven't needed to modify anything.

I bought the Pat's when I bought my tractor. I did end up buying a longer top link due to the additional length the Pat's adds. I'm actually very glad I did though. The new top link was like $30 and is a much better and way more easy to adjust top link than what came on the tractor originally. I have all my attachments set at the same widths for the lift arms and I find it so simple to change implements by myself. 94BULLITT mentions something to hold the lift arms in place. I'm not sure what that is, because I don't have that and apparently don't need that. Maybe some do and some don't.

Also with a PEC you might need to "lengthen" your PTO shaft. A $20 or less piece at Agri-Supply.
On a BX you will need something to hold the lift arms out. They have "check chains" not telescopic stabilzers. Look at Pats website, they have a bar for this.
