Whazzat?

It's a quick-connect system for your PTO and Implements ... Easy PTO quick connect for tractor attachments

post hole digger. trying to get it to stand up while hooking it up can be very aggravating !

I built a chepo 2x4 stand for my PHD. Made all the difference in ease of installation

Hanging the post hole digger from a chain is handy too.

When I was young Dad and I welded eyes on all the attachments and had an open air shed we could pick up and drop off pretty quickly. All the attachments lived off the slab on chains. Being able to swing them around with one hand made it pretty easy to line up the 3 point.

I keep a rubber mallet on my tractor. Works great for stubborn PTO shafts where you need to be holding the pin with one hand and pushing it onto the stub simultaneously with your second and third hands. A little whacking with the rubber mallet nudges it on with little effort and doesn't mess anything up like a steel hammer. Of course you need room to swing the hammer in there.

The sheds & buildings have concrete floors and gravel overhangs. Overhangs protect equipment and gravel makes it so easy, like moving things on marbles. I keep lots of 6x6 blocks about a foot long to prop things up making attaching easier.

This nice. I think I am going to make a holder like this. I always make stuff up when I unload my Auger

My least favorite to attach is my logging winch. Very little room between the tires and and the winch guard, etc.. To hook the PTO I have to crawl under the tractor and then reach up to put it on, first slide it on to the winch and then turn it enough to line up the grooves then slide it onto the PTO while holding the PTO collar/ring back. Hoping all the while I don't drop it on my face or chest. At 79 years of age I can think of other things I would rather be hooking up.

My backhoe.
Not even close.
My most difficult 3ph attachment is absolute child’s play compared to getting the backhoe successfully mounted back on.
We’re talking about totally different degrees of difficulty. 3ph attachments have the luxury of moving the lower links, adjusting bar link lengths , etc..
My Massey backhoe has 1/2” tractor frame attachment plates welded at 90 degrees with, what I guess to be 1 millimeter clearance at most, to the backhoe frame.
You need to get lucky getting the tractor exactly, almost factory assembly line perfectly in place to the backhoe frame.
I even have my wife try to help
Reminds me of a Rubik’s cube . Just when I’m about to loose my mind , and declare it impossible, it suddenly aligns and I can fit the pins. I usually don’t even know what I did differently on the last attempt
