Does anyone have any experience with the weld on Pat's Easy Change?
I have a Kubota B2620 and am wondering how much longer the arms would be with the weld on unit.
Also, will I have a problem with slightly different hitch width on my implements as the Pat"s will not be adjustable for this.
Thanks,
B2620

I too have a Kubota 2620. I am wondering what the install intails or if its easy for someone w/o a lot of expirence to do?
Charlton John,
Takes about 30 minutes for the initial installation. Just slide the receiver over the lift arms, decide which shims work best on your arms, slide back on and tighten set screws and install u-bolt. That is pretty much the the install.
The previous pictures are for the weld on units. Some customers have the balls worn out on their arms and just want to cut them off and weld on the hitches.

Thanks Pat, Are the shims included or something I will fabricate? Also is there anything special needed for my model? New model for 08 Kubota 2620. I have also been recently looking at this Delta system and need to decide (yours or theres) which one will be best for me, I am leaning towards yours at the moment, thanks again!

Thanks Pat, My arms dont seem to short but again I am also no tractor expert. Will I need these shorter versions for my 2620? Thanks

Hey, pat, you have convinced me. Now, how to get a check to you for one and have it shipped? Currently do not have a credit card for online (relationship/name change) but am willing to let the check clear before shipping? Did not see this particular situation in other posts, but then i did not read them all. Cat 1 jd 4720

Hey Pat,
I just wanted to report that after 3 years of hard use on my big Kama, I've beat the crap out of your system. I've broken the "U" bolts and all the adjuster bolts that hold it tight to the lift arm. I've replaced them 2 times already and your system is still working. That's not a fault of your system though. I tilt my boxblade severely and stressed the He## out of it, so the little bolts popped off. I've left the adjuster bolts off this time and they're only held on with the large pins now. I have way more movement available that way. I think I've leave them like that. I can still hook up easily, which was why I bought them in the first place.
Do you see any problem doing that?

Pat (or anyone else w/ expirence using these) I have been doing some research on my options for the easiest way to attach and take off my implements. I am fairly new to tractors so please bare w/ me. The example I have for you is this. This past weekend I was taking off my rake and putting on the box blade. When attempting to put the box blade on (which was on fairly level ground) I had to get off the tractor and and adjust my lift arms to fit the box blade pins. Now on my Kubota 2620 I can lower my right lift arm to bring it down to line up w/ the box blade but I cant do this on the left side. So once I got the right side lined up and on the pin I litterally had to lift the right side of this 500lb implement to get the height of the left side to also match and then bassiclly use my leg to push the pin through while I was holding this thing up in the air. I know there has to be an easier way and I am wondering how your system will help me w/ this scenerio. Thanks
Charlton John,
All you have to do is line the hooks up and lift your arms and they hook. Now if you are a little off use the bumper on the top to help move the equipment instead of trying to push and pull it yourself. Check out the video at Agdeal features new and used farm equipment for sale such as tractors, combines, and attachments. just scroll down to Greenwell Mfg. Pat is out of town for the Sunbelt Ag Expo, but if you have any more questions let me know and I will get back with you.

Thanks Vicky, I did watch the video as you suggested which does help me understand the product more, thanks. Couple of questions, you mention in your reply to me "if a little off use the bumper on the top to help move the equipment instead of moving myself." What bumper are you refering too?
Also as mentioned in my original note my problem w/ being off was with the lower lift arms. When I removed my rake to install the box blade I had to move my one lower lift arm (right) a lot lower to match up to the BB pin but on the other side (left) I cant manually lower that arm like I have the option to do on the right so I was at the point of having the side I can manually lower hooked up but my other side arm was a lot higher than the pin (as I cant lower this anymore by hand) which led me to having to lift the other end of the BB to get the pin holes lined up. This could be a tractor issue I dodnt know. I hope I am not confussing you I am new to these toys (tractors) so I am learning as I go. I want to make these changes easier for me. Thanks
