Thanks, Bob. With 7 tractors, cat 1, 2, & 3narrow 3pt hitches & over a dozen 3pt implements, I kinda don't believe in the 1-size fits all stuff either, but Pat's system has interested me for a while....
Slamfire, I don't think you can keep the upper arm independent & have it automatically latch. To work, it would need to hook up first, and lift the implement. You would be making a quick hitch, and not have Pat's system at all.....
