Re: Will Pats\' quick change system work on a BX2230?
I put one on my BX2200. Works fine.
The one concern I have is that some implements don't have the clearance to have Pat's come up from below to snap in. I had to hot wrench a 1 x 2 inch notch from a gusset on my KK box blade to give Pat's clearance to hook it up.

Re: Will Pats\' quick change system work on a BX2230?
I bought the system for my BX22-- have it mounted on the hitch but haven't actually attached it or used it yet-- still have the backhoe mounted and wanted to finish a project or two before I take it off. Hope to get to the system in the next couple of weeks but looks like it will work-- I have a rotary mower, a rear blade, and a Woods chipper so hoping to make it work as I do like to switch back and forth between the chipper and the mower quite often.
Will let you know how it goes but so far, looks fine.

It didn't work on my JD 4600. I had to machine some shims to make it fit right. I'm not too impressed and will probably send it back. The reason I posted is because he said when I called they were having problems fitting it on some of the kubotas as well. I didn't ask specifically which ones. It seems they have not tested this on all tractors to get a good fit. It's kind of a monkey rigged deal to get it to fit on numerous tractors in my opinion.

Re: Will Pats\' quick change system work on a BX2230?
The clearance between the right hand side attach point and frame ( rear bagger) on my BX2200 is very tight, this is why I'm wondering if anyone has this combination and a Pat's quick change. I went to their link, and the only phone number they show for international orders does not work "in my area", so the recording says. So, I'm hoping that someone on this board either has this combination that I do, or if someone has a direct phone line to these guys, I could call and they may have the answers for me. These rear baggers are a real PIA to hook up, so the quick change, if it works here, would be a great help. Thanks
