Anyone use Pat’s Quick Hitch on an eMax 25? I ordered the Cat 1 but it looks like it too big. Just curious before I try to make it work if I got the wrong one?

Re: Pat痴 Quick Hitch w/ eMax 25
The Cat 1 Pat's hitch is sized so the Cat 1 hitch pins on your implements fit into the Pat's hitch "cradle". If you had a Cat 2 hitch, you would need to use bushings on the Cat 1 implement hitch pins.
I think what your talking about is how the Pat's fit's onto your lift arms. The diameter of the pin that mounts a Pat's Cat 1 system to the lift arm is sized for a Cat 1 hole/ball in your lift arms.
What you're noticing is that your lift arms may not be very tall compared to the height of opening in the Pat's system. Use the shims.
Mount the Pats so that implement pins are at right angle with the Pat's locking "hook".
If various implements with Cat 1 pins have various widths, re-adjust Pat's so implement pins are at right angle with the Pat's locking "hook".
If Pat's didn't supply alignment bolts that are Grade 5, 8 or better, toss theirs out and replace. Once they get bent, they're hard to back out.
Don't trust their bent washers that you put on implement pins to not pop off at the worst possible time. Just use regular washers.

Why not get the european arms (3pth) that come with the claw. It's available for mahindra as that's what they sell them with in Europe.
Pat's quick hitch is a good option if the arms aren't available, the only thing I don't care for is that it adds several inches to the length of the arms

Don't have a link or picture, but if you do a search for european tractors you'll see plenty.
