I ordered Pat's Easy Hitch System for my Max 22 yesterday after struggling with my 500# ballast box. Anyone have one installed on their Mahindra? I'd love to see some photos if you do have it.

Have a set on my Lenar LE304.
1. use lock tite on the allen set screws and bolts. Thought i had them tight but after 3 hours of roto tilling some vibrated loose.
2. may have to get a longer toplink. The system pushes the implement back another 5-6 inches.
otherwise they are nicer to switch implements back and forth.

For PTO powered implements, you may need a PTO adapter too. These are available from Agri-Supply for about $20.

What are you guys using to keep the sway bars from swaying inwards while trying to hook up an implement? Pat's easy system as I understand it is meant for quick and easy hook ups, but one of the biggest issues is the side bars collapsing inwards when there is no implement on.

There is a spreader bar available on the PEC website, but some TBNer's have made their own using a couple piece of PVC pipe or C channel.
It's an easy build, and no welding required (unless you want to weld something up).

Ahh, I am glad you asked, that is my next project! I know I could bvut the 30 dollar adjustable bar from Pat, but I like to create my own solutions, so I am going to take two pieces of hollow stock, one that fits inside the other. The outer tube I will thread with a wing bolt so I can slide the tubes in and out and tighten them down. On the ends I'll weld a pin that will fit into the holes already provided in the system and voila, I have a width control. Once it is done I will post photos.

That sounds like a great idea!
