Has anyone used this type of quick hitch. Since you have to get off the seat anyway to release and for the top link with Pat's, I do not see too much of a disadvantage with this one.

I think the main advantage that Pat's has over that one is the set screws to align the hooks to the the desired angle.

I guess I may be the only one in the world with a problem with Pat's hitch. I installed it on my Kubota L3400, but now find my toplink is too short for my cutter to sit level.

Has anyone else found this to be a problem?
Where can I find a reallllllly long toplink???

I had to remove the hitch and go back to the old fashioned way of attaching implements.

If I cannot find a solution, I guess my hitch may be making an appearance on ebay! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

A farm and home store, Orshlans, TSC, Farm & Fleet, should have a selections of top links in various lengths.

I put the Easy Change on my Kubota 3130 this morning and I love it! Box blade on in a couple of minutes, then hooked up the bush hog in record time. I've told 2 of my friends about this, and next to the front end loader, this is the handiest thing I have for my tractor.

My toplink is out a good way too, but I leave the front edge of the bush hog angled down a little anyway. PTO worked fine. The boxblade is level. I read the posts here a lot and finally ordered a set. I recommend this to anyone that changes implements frequently.

And about the posts in reference to the instructions: Mine were fine. Read them and hooked it up no sweat in a little less than an hour (including getting the tools).

Glad you have had good sucess with them. I bought mine a few years ago at a show and I couldn't be happier.
I got to meet Pat and his staff too.
The only thing they won't work with is my Japanese tiller. I'll work that one out soon.

Is there any version of Pat's Easy Change System (or another quick-change system) that is compatible with Category II implements?

Thanks all,

Yes, Pat's comes in a Cat II version as well.

Has anyone used Pat's system with a B series Kubota and a 5' Landpride rotary cutter?

Just trying to figure out whether I'll need a new top link and/or a PTO shaft extension.

The cutter is all packed up for winter and would be a PITA to pull out ... thought perhaps someone else might have this information - sparing me the PITA.

I'm considering the Pat's system vs. the Worksaver QH.

Little concerned about the installation instructions of the Pat's as it sounds like it can be a pain. Have the instructions improved?

How about the issue with the toplink that niner was talking about - is this a common issue - will I need a new toplink?

Anyone use this successfully on their L3400?
