The big end does nothing. The implement can't slip off because of the implement hitch frame hitting the quick hitch frame on the other side. You can't even buy the big end bushings at any tractor dealer or farm supply I've been to around here. Bruce

I use various size roll (spring) pins and I am able to get whatever I need at FASTENAL Stores. They also do online business which is easy and fast. Good luck. Al Z

Actually, bcp is correct. You can use the slip-on bushings with a linch pin. I'm not a big fan of them and instead prefer the bushings with the large end but either will work. If fact, the bushings that JD is currently providing with an iMatch are the slip-on bushings.

I find that most of the time hooking up, the big end doesn't play a part, but once in a while, the attachment isn't quite lined square/level and that big end is an aid in making the "quick" hitch. But don't feel it is a "must have" feature.

I now have only one attachment (an older rototiller) that I have not converted to the iMatch. So a couple times a year, I get reminded of the old routine of hooking up the lift arms and the top arm, and getting everything adjusted just right to fit on the pins. I think the biggest annoyance is the need to pull the sway bar pins and let the lift arms sway out enough to slip over the pins.
Maybe soon I will convert that rototiller and then avoid that hassle. Probably will use the rototiller more often when I do that.
