I've been jealous seeing all of your new toys on this post. Then a Bear Cat PTO wood chipper showed up local on CL, couldn't turn down the deal :thumbsup:

Thanks, Bear Cat claims 4.5", But I still haven't tried it out yet. Hopefully the BC has plenty of power to chew the bigger stuff!

Yes it is the Deere iMatch. I went for the Deere as it was virtually the same price as all of the others, very well made, and it gave me dealing power to get some money off of my ballast box which is also JD. The JD is the least expensive ballast box Ive found.

How much was the Imatch? does it fit all implements?

I paid $500 (with tax) for the iMatch and ballast box. I THINK msrp is around $220 (quick search on TBN). It fits everything i have but i also only buy implements that work with the iMatch or modify them. I would never go without it.

There are many manufacturers that make 3pt quick hitches. I just went with JD because it wasn't any more expensive than the other non HF brands and i like the top link style with the non-adjustable hook. Harbor freight also sells one for sub $100 that people have modified to be the same dimensions. TBN has a lot of good threads on this.
