? about Pat's ez change install

I installed the cat2 system and I have had it for over 6 months now and I have to say that between the ez change and the ccm hydraulic toplink that those two items were the best money I ever spent on my tractor(well ok my grapple bucket is awesome too ). I am extremely pleased with the ez change

Thanks for your support gregg g you answered all my questions and I'm going to order a set of CAT 2 today. I really appreciate your helpful information, yes this is very important because I use a CAT1 Woods Soil Pulverizer, but my 80" Gannon Box Scaper is a CAT2. So I have been switching from CAT1 to CAT2 during every implement change.

I was interested in what you use the hydraulic top link for. My dealer said that they are only really helpful for post-hole diggers.

I use mine to tilt the Gannon Box Scrapper as to controll the amount of the cut depth 1" to about 4" adjustment. It also help me get my tractor on the trailer as for without it the attachment would drag on the ground during loading a deck over trailer. All that I do is tilt it al the way back and raise the lift arms it gives me lots and lot of clearance. without the hydro top link it would be impossible to load the tractor on the trailer w/attachment.

That makes sense. Hadn't thought about trailering with attachment. Thanks

You're dealer needs to find another profession. I wouldn't be without my HTL. Like somebody else said earlier, PEC and the HTL were probably the two most valuable aftermarket purchases I've made. I have a rough cut mower, a finish mower, both of which I can adjust from carry to cut without leaving the tractor seat. Broadcast spreader; I adjust the throw elevation with the HTL. Boom pole; more reach, without leaving the seat. I even use it to level the log splitter before setting its legs on the ground. But the HTL really earns it's money with the box blade and the landscape rake; adjustable angle of attack, without leaving the seat.
