So yes or no

One last thing here...
It also has allowed me to "capture" the lift pins on the implement meaning never again a bent lift pin...
Look closely where the lift pins are on this boxblade. I made support brackets and welded them on so they are now supported at both ends. I could never slide the draglink (lower lift arm) eyelet on a captured lift pin.




And here they are holding up my heavy duty backhoe. There is a lot of torsional force trying to pop the lift pins out of Pat's system, with no luck....they hold up.

I now curious as all get out. I'm wondering just how many of you out there in TBN land with retractable lower arms use the PEC system?

I have a TC45DA and use PEC without any modification to the extendable lower lift arms. On another note Pats was at the farm show in KY and sold me the washers for half off so I bought ten sets! (20 washers)

I bought an extra bunch of washers too, I leave them on all of my equipment.

Derek even on rolling ground using the leveling crank on the left lower arm makes connecting an implement pretty darn easy.

Mike,

You are exactly right and I should do that more often. I usually hook-up the low side arm first then raise the TPH to hook-up the other arm. Probably not as quick as using the crank. The biggest problem with the area that I store my equipement is that it was abandodned field, next to a active field, that has lots of dips and humps from equipment running over. It is one of those fields that is jaring when you ride across to cut. Unfortunately there is enough other work that needs done that it will be a couple of years before I get to leveling it.

Thanks for the pointer...Derek
