Just remember, ordering through TBN helps support this free forum.

Looks like the ones on this site are the better ones too. Do you use the stabilizer bar?

I was not aware that Northern Tool was selling the "original" Pat's Easy Change for $159... on their website it's $179.99 plus shipping, not including the stabilizer bar.

As others have mentioned, the $159 model isn't the same as the one we sell. I suppose we could sell the cheaper version just to show people that there is a difference.

We only sell the "original" Pat's Easy Change. It seems that some folks might be buying the cheaper version elsewhere and don't understand the difference.

I have used the stabilizer bar a few times. Usually it seems that the arms are just sort of spaced just right. I'll bet I'd have to go hunt for it right now, I haven't used it in so long.

Looks like the price just went up at Northern from $159. Muhammad, have you considered advertising the stabilizer bar on this site?

We offer it with the Category 1 or 2 Pat's Easy Change System for an additional $20...

Perhaps we should offer it as a standalone item?

I must have missed it when I was looking. Your idea sounds like a good one.

Hi Guys,

Been Lurking here for quite awhile. I'm really interested in getting Pat's system. But I'm a little concerned, Some of the earlier posts stated after installing that guys were having trobule with attaching their PTO shafts due to the added length of Pat's hitch.

I'm pretty new to all this so, Is this really a problem or do the PTO Shafts have enough play to compensate for the extra 3 inches.

I'd be installing these on a Kubota B7800

I hoping this would make switching my Bushhog and other attachments easier but don't want to create another problem by solving one. I read thru the entire post and didn't see where anyone solved the issue other than to spend even more money getting an extension for their shaft, which to me dosen't seem like it solves the problem.

Thanks,
TJB

TJB63,
I've had Pat's Easy Change system on my B7800 for two years. I use a Woods Brush Hog and a Landpride rear finish mower. I've not had a problem with the PTO shafts on either of these attachments, but the Pat's system does extend the arms. If you still have the original turnbuckle type "check chains" on your lower lift arms you will find the Pat's system with a stabilizer bar to be especially helpful as you won't have to keep adjusting the chains. The folks at Pats are also super to deal with if you have any questions.

I am assuming that this 'pats hitch" is an impostor? This one comes with the stabilizer also.HMM
