pats quick hitch on 2610

[Stonefox]

Hi all, I am considering buying Pat's quick hitch for my 2610 and was wondering if anyone was using it and if I will need to get a longer top link.
Thanks!

I have a 2610 I bought new in November of 2016. I had a John Deere 850 before that. Switching between a grader blade and a rake was always a pain. So when I got the Kioti, I figured I would give Pats a try.

As long as you follow the directions they go on nicely, and work great. I have not had to use a longer arm for my use.

Thanks Sheldon! I've had some back issues and switching between the RFM and rear blade is a chore that I am looking to make easier.

I have the pats qh on my mahindra 2538 and it works good ,But on some of my implements the top link is all the way out.Im going to get a longer one so i have more room to play with. Rural king has them for under 30 bucks.

Pat's easy hitch will move the mounting point back 4 inches.
So a longer top link will help keep from over loading one that is played way out and not prone to snapping....don't ask....heh...

Bought pat's quick links, like them very much. Top link is hydraulic, so no reach issues. As noted follow the instructions, use the proper provided shims.

Thanks majorwagner, I have also been considering a hydraulic top link but at least a longer manual link is not that expensive as 3gunr has said.
