I will have to get a longer top link for some of my implments , my lawn plugger and my box blade since I installed pats system but it sure is a lot less painful to chance tools . Since I am just a little guy 133 lbs and and 5' 3" tall pushing the box blade and mower around was a chore.

I hadn't heard anyone else mention that. Were you already about at the end of the threads on the top link before adding Pat's system? I'm about 100 lbs more than you and moving the box blade, bush hog, RFM ... around to hook up is still a chore. Good ole spud bar helps though. But I'm considering Pat's system. I be watching to see if others have to get a new top link in addtion to Pat's hardware to impliment the quick hook up.

Moon, I did try the original top link after I put Pat's system on. It fit, but was about lengthened to the max.
The hydraulic top link was too short for the mower, so I just made an adjustment on the mower.

I recently install Pat's easy change system on my Kioti. It works great for all my implements. It did add a couple of inches to the lift arms, but there was enough adjustment in my top link to accommodate it. On my RFM the top link had to be extended almost to the max, so I readjusted the hitch points on the RFM in to the next hole.

Mine was at the limit of the threads. I made a cut on both sides of the center handle. I then welded a 2 inch section on both sides, giving me a 4 inch lenghtening. Works great until I add my T&T.
