I-Match. What do you think?

Ledgemere Farm · Apr 1, 2004

Thanks all. I have a JD weight box that is a real pain in the patoot to put on and off. I have adjustable links on my 3PH, but I hate to jockey around for 10 minutes.

I cut that time to closer to 10 seconds with the addition of the I-match. In fact, I attribute the quickness to the fact that I now carry the ballast box more than when I didn't have the I-match, and that makes the tractor with FEL (bucket and forks) safer to use. Too often was finding I was a bit light in the rear end when carrying a load in the FEL, just because I didn't have the ballast box on.

As fast as you can back up, lift the 3pt arms, and lift - - is how fast you can have the ballast on (then just reach back and flip the latch levers down after the box is raised).

Go to Northern Tool and Supply and TSC. They all have or can order bushings for about 15$ a pair.

I hate it when you are going down a hill with a bucket load of gravel in 2WD and no ballast and you try to hit the brakes. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I was considering buying a Speeco from Mills Fleetfarm. Why is the Imatch better? is it worth the price diff?

How does top & tilt work with this system?

Thanks

All you have to do is buy two sets of bushings and insert one inside of the other to get the right size. Total cost is about four bucks. I really like the imatch and I use it with a tiller. Even thought you have to manually connect the PTO the time to hook up is nominal.
