I could have swore I read these two were compatable. But By looking at the two side by side there is several inches difference between there widths. Any thoughts. I guess I will make my own version by widing the imatch and make it adjustable if that doesn't work then I guess I will just make it fit it and weld it solid. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

On Deere lit. the MX6 is not shown as iMatch compatible.

But my MX6 has iMatch stickers right above the pins. There was a running change where the MX6 went from Cat2 with a Cat1 option to Cat1 with a Cat2 option. I guess it picked up iMatch then.

Does yours have the iMatch stickers?

My MX6 has the iMatch stickers, too. I use mine on a Speeco Quick Hitch with no problems. You do need to use the Cat 1 to Cat 2 bushings however, on the lift pins. And when you hook up, the iMatch top hook will attach at the bushing below the normal top link pin location. In other words, you have to remove the top link pin. I did have to modify the adjustable top link on the Speeco to make it more compatible with the MX6 and some of my other tools. I had to weld a piece of stock on the back of the top hook and re-drill the holes, effectively moving the hook farther back about 1/2 inch. The top link attachment point on most of my tools was hitting the hook mounting bracket before the hook was all the way under the top pin. When I was shopping, my dealer told me that the MX6 was iMatch compatible but I never actually saw one hooked up.

My MX6 and the iMatch work beautifully together. No problems what so ever. It came from the dealer that way, but there are no modifications to either that I can see, besides the bushings.

HTH.

I just got an MX-6 and iMatch with my 4710. I've put about 20 hours on the cutter and had it off and on multiple times with no problems. Works like a champ and I can't imagine removing and re-attaching as often as I do WITHOUT the iMatch.

I am not s'posed to be able to run an MX6 as it is, I don't dare add iMatch... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I am usually swapping the hoe, anyway...

I will probably end up with telescopic draft links...

I am using the MX6 & I Match together without any problems.

I just had another thought.
Which one is wider, the MX6 or the I Match?

I brought home an imatch and hooked it up to my 4700 HST but it was NOT compatible with my MX6 or other 3pt attachments My dealer took it back.

Take a look at the Speedco hitch with the adjustable top link sold at Northern Toy Stores about 200$.
