I have pats q.h. on my L2501 kubota and also the stabilizers from mark h. It works well without the added spreader bar. I never use that.
Pats system allows the two lower links to connect easily similar to a quick hitch. The difference in the pats system is that you can vary the width of the arms for different width attachments.
I would recommend getting the Pats spreader bar to hold the lift arms apart. Makes connection to implement much easier
The spreader bar is supposed to come with Pat's because it IS part of the system. Without it you have no control over the width of the hooks as you back into the implements. ASC has them and at a good price WITH the required spreader bar.
None of my 3 pt implements are the same width. The fixed dimension quick hitch that some folks sell for $99.99 won't work for me.
You modify your implements ONCE to fit QH and life is good forever.... A QH is no more than a PATS with a solid yoke....

Pat's system is cumbersome and obsolete once you try a quality quick hitch system
