2024 Yanmar YT359c w/ Euro Link Hook Ends

[jyoutz]

I see nothing different on how the Euro mounts work than how the Pat's QH works. They even look the same. And you have to cut off part of the OE equipment and weld new pieces on. I absolutely love my Pat's hitch and see absolutely no advantage here.... What am I missing?

I had Pat’s on my last tractor and enjoyed having them. I have no quick hitch on my current tractor because the telescoping lift arms make it easy to attach implements. The only difference I see with the Eurohooks that make them better is the balls that swivel a little better than the Pat’s system. The hook part appears to be the same.

Looking at the video i watched, they appear the same. The issue was that it was very hard to keep the Pats from rotating since they are bolted on. Also, the Pats added more length to the arms. Probably never sn issue, but its a point.

The Pat's has a pin that goes through the middle of them and then 4 bolts on each side. I have had mine installed since I bought the tractor new 15 months ago and they have never rotated once. And since I have had it from the beginning, the length didn't change anything for me. I changed over to a hydraulic top link shortly after purchasing the tractor as well. For someone who already has a ton of implements and THEN changes to a Pat's, it may require some extra work since it pushes everything out 4".

Yeah, when I installed Pat’s I had to get a longer top link. I never had them rotate and I used them for about 15 years. IDK how they could rotate because they have (had) a u bolt that goes over the lift arm to hold it from moving.

I liked mine, unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy them long before my box blade broke them.

First time I ever seen these fail. Like the other members, I'm very interested to know how this happened.

The hardest time mine have is when I'm using my subsoiler. I had it buried all the way on the ground, while the subsoiler pulls the tractor down which provides even more traction and haven't had any issues with the hooks.

That is amazing I have spun out a 10,000# 85hp tractor in 4wd on my back blade and never done anything close to that.

The Pat's just saddle in with the implement pins in the groove they may or may not be square in there.

The Euro hooks are designed to have the correct sized ball on the implement lower lift arm pin, that allows for squaring up with the lift arms and the implement pins and pull points.
