good to see someone create a thread on a positive experience... most only take the time to report on something if it upset them. This is why while reading reviews, I don't only look at the "percentage of positive reviews".
I just drive backwards for the reverse setting. Seriously though, I don't use a quick hitch but my BushHog 7' rake will just barely swing all the way around but you have to adjust the 3pt to find the right spot where it will clear. With the Pat's extension it clears no problem. What I don't like about my brand though is it takes the two bolt hole tines which seem harder to find.
P.S. Good customer service though. A good advertising gimmick too. Smart thinking redesigning it.
