Got my 4' rake attached to QH now I found a 72" for same price a Tartor made by Tractor Supply. Wonder if that's too big for Branson2400? Paid 300 for 4' and 6' is same????

You're good to use a 6' rake; it's not like a box blade, you're probably not going to overload it.

I wonder if there is some problem with Pat's hitches that I don't know about.
Yeah, their service. At least in the past.
When I moved some stuff down from Virginia somehow I lost the box I had put the
Lynch Pin Washers in. At that time (circa 2012) I don't think they offered them on their site. So I called them up. They mailed me ~ a half dozen immediately. I lost my excuse for not hooking up my implements :)

Now get a couple of these magnets to leave on the hitch to hold your various pins, so you quit dropping them into the dirt.

Photo below - I cut down and welded on a HF 'Magnetic Tool Holder' for temporarily holding clevises, pins, clips.

Incidental, but relevant to this thread: The blue implement also shown in this photo is a set of rear pallet forks I cobbled up out of scrap bedframe etc for a specific project. Years later, still in use, stronger than I expected. That's angle iron carried in the QH lower hooks and the pallet forks are several inches lower.

I use a magnet exactly like that on my tractor for lynch pins. I also like the magnetic rings that used to come on the hydraulic filters.... Perfect size for the job.

Love that idea, as I'm forever looking for a good place to set pins and clevices when hooking up equipment. Just ordered some magnets!
