Just for BloomingtonMike I changed around my tiller to accept iMatch (although I need a new toplink pin, the hole that matches the hook for the iMatch is way too big). The bolts are 15/16" and they're hard to turn unless you've got strong teeth...
I don't think iMatch is standard on any tractor, it's ~$2-300 option that attaches to the three point. If (when?) it worked on all of my attachments I'd just leave it on the tractor all the time - all it does it lock the sway arms and the toplink into a fixed position and add a little weight. If you don't care about the green paint, you can find the equivalent products pretty much anyplace, but I doubt you'll save a whole lot.
It's a great idea, I'm just frustrated at the attachment vendors for not implementing it on their end since it is a cross-vendor standard - but I come from a world where something that's three years old is ready for the junkyard even though it cost millions new... (except for the stuff I sell, of course, that's future proof!
)
Edited to add that it may interfere with a rear bagger, it just occurred to me that my Pat's Quick Hitch can hit the bags so iMatch may get in the way unless you have a 3-point-attached bagger.
