When setting up an I Match 3 point quick hitch which hole for the top link at the tractor gives you the greatest height when it's lifted, the top hole, the center hole, or the bottom hole?

Thanks in advance.

Just thinking about the geometry of it, I think the bottom hole will make the top of the I Match tilt forward more at the top of the motion, making the rear of the implement higher. The front implement pins will lift to the same height no matter what.

Thanks Bruce,

I'll give that a try tomorrow, (more play time) :cool2::cool2: it was in the center hole. I moved it to the top and it didn't change much, I really want to get my rear blade up as high as possible when in the up position.

Couldn't wait until tomorrow, went out to the barn and moved it to the bottom hole and I gained about 6-8 inches more lift on the blade.

It's where it needs to be now.

Thanks again
