Dirt Moving Help with implement hookup

   / Help with implement hookup #11  
If you go with PATS, won't you have hitch arms that will be too big (CATII) for your other stuff?

Take out those pins and have them widdled down or just go to TSC and buy a new set. Actually, that shaft may go all the way through from side to side as one piece, and the set screws just keep it there. You may bend CAT I using that plow.

The quality of old stuff always impresses me.

To fit the Pats cat 2 ends with cat1 attatchments, simply get some cat1 to cat2 adapter sleeves that side over the cat 1 pins, this ups the pin size to cat 2, problem solved.
This will allow you to upgrade your attatchments, then the tractor,over time, instead of all at once. It also allows you more choice in attatchments.

Sorry for the delay here, I did receive the Pat's quick change setup suggested and it worked extremely well- I had it ready to go in 15-20 minutes. I got such a deal on the plow that ordering the kit even if only used on this implement still makes sense. If I ever run into a situation where I find another implement that is Cat 2, I'm all set.

A local farmer buddy pulled through while manuring fields with their big spreader and spread about 15 yards of composted manure on my garden Wednesday so I even got some guidance setting up and running the plow! He was skeptical about pulling a 2-16 plow with the hydrostatic trans in my 4720 but it worked great and the temp gauge never climbed.

Thanks again everyone for the replied and the suggestion of using Pat's system!
