Chain Hooks on my iMatch

[Gobblin Tom]

Just thought I would post a pic of the chain hooks on my iMatch. I have used them several times for skidding trees out carrying chains and straps and I'm sure you could use it to pull fence post or small trees.

Used the bottom 2 hooks today to carry the spade shovel, worked good for that also!!!

Hmm,might have to do that to my I-Match too.Nice idea.:thumbsup:

Tom,are your rear wheels still in the narrow position? If they are,you should reverse them.

Greg they are in the wide position, valve stems are pointing in! Had my buddy bring his welder over today cut the brand new rear blade apart from EA and made it iMatch compatible. Now I can just leave it sitting on a bucket and back up to it and connect!!
I just have to get one of the roll pins out of the ballast box, not a big deal but the dealer put one of the sleeves on backward... I have over 14 hours on it already!!! The hooks on the iMatch are great I have used the crap out of them!!!

Looks good, I put a 2x2 receiver hitch tube on my QH under the top hook, but far enough back that it doesn't interfere with implements.

My only concern with pulling loads from the top of the QH, like your hooks or my hitch, is much of the force is transferred directly to the top link.
Not the strongest component on our tractors.

I don't think we want to exert a shock load to the top link, steady pulling should be fine though.

Yeah I hear that! I do have tone JD 3pt receiver at the dealership, they are welding a hook to the top of that also. So I can then either use the receiver or the hook or both with the iMatch. I just really like being adaptive to whatever......:confused2:
