Pats Easy Change System

[dgraves49]

I got tired of fighting with my 3 point when hooking and unhooking implements. I couldn't use a regular quick hitch because some of my implements are cat 0 spacing and some are cat 1 spacing. all have cat 1 pins.
I installed the Pats system on my BX and tried it for the first time today.
It works great. I got it through ebay for $169.00 with free shipping and includes the stabilizer bar.
It adds 4 inches to the lower bars so I will have to get a pto extender since I had already cut the PTO for my tiller. $26.95 at TSC.
Hooking and unhooking takes less than a minute now.
I would definitely recommend this set up. Especially if you plan on running a PTO driven implement on a BX. With the slip clutch shaft I had to cut the shaft as much as possible.

Yes they do work well but do not buy direct from Pat's because the price is much higher than from other sellers that offer free shipping.

My dad and I have them on our tractors and they work great. I did buy them direct from manufacture and went with the weld on ones. I made new arms from 2 1/2 by 1/2 inch flat bar and new ends for the tractor end. Made ridged stay bars so the arms do not flop around. I would post pictures but I do not know how. If you email I can send you pictures.

Hello, did you have to remove the ball sockets from your lower arms to install the Pat's system or do they fit over top with the ball sockets on? Thanks.

They went right over the balls on my JD 4105,,,

I have the Pat's system on my kubota, the stabilizer bar provides unlimited adjustment. I have a 484 IH which I love very much but is in the shop currently w/ oil leaking and cooling system issues. The shims provided by Pat's are critical component of the installation. Bent washers unique as well.


There are copycat systems available, none as efficient as Pat's.
