I reread the entire post and didnt see anything about PTO extensions being needed.. It seemed to focus on top link extensions..
Anyone else??

I was discombobulated when I was reading this. I had just read a thread about radiator bearings being the wrong size, and it made me think incorrectly.thatguy said:
I stand corrected and apologize for causing you to read that one long, miserable thread.....all to no avail.

On the subject of needing extentions or not....
It depends alot on the PTO shaft's original size and IF it has ever been cut down.
Realize that some have to be cut by dealers so the shaft will fit your unit.
You can do a little measuring and find out.
I see that some of the quick hitches make the 3pt arms longer and some don't.
At the same time, if you have enough extra shaft it won't make any difference.

I have Pat's ECS and am real happy with it. I suggest getting the spreader bar (can't recall what they call it) if you have implements with different widths. You can mark the spreader for the different implements. Makes connecting up a breeze (or something like it).

I ordered the knockoff that was pictured on the first page from ATVExpress on ebay.. and Im very disappointed.... They sent me the REAL Pats Easy Change instead of the knock off... Now i wont be able to give you any feedback of the quality.. LOL
The PEC was delivered this morning and it took me a while to get it installed, but it works so great.. I even got the spreader bar - it was $54 + shipping for a total cost of $73
Im very pleased..

I too ordered the knockoff which is on the front page because of this thred. But I had been thinking about it already. Got it and put it on my tractor and Dang, It won't work with the two most important attachments for me. Not because of anything with the quick hitch. Now what do I do with them, scratched them up trying them out but didn't even use them, anyone want a good deal on a set with the spreader bar?
