IF, and this is a big IF, your implements match up and will fit an I-match, then spend the $225 and get one. You can attach and detach implements from the tractor seat without dismounting. No top link to jerk around with. Spin around in your seat, flip 2 levers, drop the implememt and you are good to go. You can back up and attach an implement in under one minute without getting off the tractor. I'm sure you know that a boxscrape weighs over 400#. It doesn't matter if you have the I-match. There will be no wrestling it around. The bad part is that the JD hitch is designed according to strict industry standard specs. About half of the implements out there today are not made to to the current standards. You can modify your existing attachments with different pins, spacers, bushings, etc for about $25 or less per item if you have to. The difference between the Pats system and the I-match is less than $50 once you figure tax and freight. If you use it once per week over the next 3 years, the convienance comes out to about $00.32 per week. It will only take one time wrestling around something that weighs 400# to convince you to spend $0.32 per week. And that assumes you don't mash your hand or finger along the way......
