I have a 3400 and several implements. I haven't installed it yet; probably do it this weekend.

I'll post my results, including if it works or doesn't work w/ certain implements.

Installed it today. Took about 20 minutes at the most.

Then I backed up to my BB, lowered my 3ph, backed up a bit more and *bam* connected. Hooked in the Toplink and I was golden. Now I just need a hydrolic toplink.

My wife never comments on the tractor, but when she saw how easy it was to hook up the BB (and remembered how I have fussed w/ it in the past) she said, "why don't all tractors just come that way?"

that should be enough.

Thanks a bunch investorguy. Does not sound like the length of the top link was an issue for you at all.

I'm getting ready to place my order next week. It's cheaper than the Worksaver QH I was considering, doesn't require adapter bushings and leaves me open to picking up the odd used implement and using the neighbours borrowed implements easily.

Thanks a bunch again!

Anybody know if Pat's makes a set for a TC 48DA (Cat II hitch). If not, anything made by someone else that's similar for Cat II's?

Thanks.

I have a Kubota L2800 HST. Will the easy change work on it? The instruction says it need 4 inches straight. I have only 2 inches from the center of the hole to the start of the bend. Some of the post indicate it works in some cases with less tha 4 inches. It sounds like a great idea. my new tractor is a pain to hook up.

I emailed greenwell and they said it would fit as they has several happy customers with the easy change installed on their L2800.

Hate to sound stupid, but is the $179 for a pair?

Not a stupid question at all.

Yep, that price is for a pair.

Thanks Mike,
Think Pat just made another sale!

I just ordered a set, hopefully the toplink will work. Once I receive them I will let you know.

Hopefully? Why wouldn't it?

Because the their website says on some tractors anew longer top link may be needed .

I just got mine delivered last night, and tried it out today. easy to install .

Toplink was too short to reach my Woods mower, it barely reached the box blade . I went to town, 2 dealers and 2 tractor supply stores later no extra long top links to be found

I called Greenwell manufacturing to see what I needed to to for a return. They had an extra long toplink they could ship at their cost plus shipping. So I paid another $38.50. (this is getting more costly than I planned ). So I am back to waiting for the UPS delivery.

Wow Your top link must have already been stretched to the max. My top link used to pretty much always be as short as it would go. Now with the PECS it is still less than half way.

I think it has to do with the Woods equipment, no problems with my old rotary mower. The toplink is as best as I can tell standard lenght (31" fully extended)

 

[Marcussen]

After instaling the longer toplink I am very happy with the Easy Changer, cuts my time to change attachments way down. Works Great.

Not sure what the right place for this suggestion is so I'll try here since I just encoutered the problem while ordering Pat's system today.

On the online order forms for products that can be ordered through TBN (e.g. just ordered Pat's today and the Tiltmeter a few days ago), one cannot pick a Canadian province e.g. Ontario. You can't leave the "State" field blank either to include the province in another address line.

Each of the above companies were willing to ship to Canada when I contacted them by email for a nominal addition to their regular shipping charge.

I preferred to order the products thorugh TBN so that I could support the site. I basically had to pick a fake state and include a note with my shipping address in the order.

Most U.S. and Canadian companies that do business on line are generally more than happy to ship to customers in the other country. I suggest that if possible that you could list the Canadian shipping cost on each order form and list the Canadian provinces under "State/Province" to make it easier.

Lord knows (at least my wife does!) that I have spent enough money on the last two orders and so I will likely not be buying anything online soon... but it would be nice if this could get fixed for the next guy.

Thanks for carrying these great products through TBN!

Thanks for the feedback. We will be adding the international shipping option soon.

I think the Pat's Easy Change System is absolutely the most useful implement I have for my tractor. It has worked like a champ ever since I bought mine. Wouldn't do without it. 45er
