Might have to sell my Pats as well. The upright sort of catcher thing on the pats interferes with the Delta. I'll look at it to see if its worth cutting off.
The put the receiver on the control was a brilliant idea, but didn't work so well I'm afraid. Ended up going back to the hold em in my hand approach. It was a good thought that was worth trying though.

I know that the price of the system has been mentioned as a detriment but, for me it would be worth it. In fact, anyone who values the long term health of their back, should give it some thought. As it stands now with my near 60 year old back that has seen a lot of hard work, it is hard to motivate myself to wrestle some of my equipment on my tractor with out my chiropractor on standby. This is true even though I have a Pat's easy change system which makes it somewhat easier though not nearly as easy as their web site would have you believe.
Anyway, the way I have it figured is I have about $15000.00 in my used tractor and equipment. Something that might cost me $2000.00 more that would enable me to use it for what I intended is not a bad investment. As soon as I get some bucks, I'm getting one.
By the way, I am not in any way affiliated with the company that manufactures the Delta Hitch system. I really hate scam artists who pretend to be giving an objective opinion of a product but really are on the company payroll. I been scammed at least once myself by this technique.

Will this work with a 3PT mounted backhoe?

A note - talked to the nice gentleman who owned it about some minor issues I've had - need a longer top tube, and the geometry of the 3pt is set back a bit, which means the extra-long top and tilt that I bought to work with the Pats is now too long....
I've had some problems with new control and receiver plates sticking together too tight. So he recommended teflon spray - I just bought some at Napa and sprayed all the plates, should make on an off easier.
The system does seem to make life a lot easier, though I'm still putting it on really so can't give a definitive review.

That was my problem with your idea - carried the reciever plate over to the implement on the tractor, then hammered on it for 5 minutes to get it off...
