B2630/3030 Pat's Easy Change

You all will call me crazy..................... but who needs 'em when you have the factory extendable arms ???? :confused:

I had an I-Match years ago when I had to fool with turn buckles........ am I missing something? Hooking up implements on my 3030 is a breeze. Maybe I'm just not as old and crotchety as you guys? ;)

That was pretty much my experience.

I can pretty much guarantee, you are not as old and crotchety as me.:laughing:

Wow! I don't get excited alot about products but with your wonderful description and information concerning "a real quick hitch" I think I have to have one or a set or how ever they come!!! Can you please provide where to get these/this and how much money for it? I was going to say more but no.......:confused:
I've had Pat's and also have two different cheap ones but I've never had "a real one" guess I did say more.:)

Hmmm I assumed that quick hitch was a somewhat old term for a three point hitch setup. Landpride and various others sell them. Go to Landpride.com and look under hitches.
They have been around for about 30 years.:confused2:

I'll sell you one cheaper than that... :(

I wouldn't buy one. Those quick hitches won't fit the many different widths that my implements have. Pat's individual attachments with a lift arm stabilizer to set the width are a better option, if a little more work. But that's only my opinion.

I think the Pats Quick Hitch you are talking about wont fit on the B3030 lift arms with the extendable ends. At least thats what I concluded last time I looked at it. I didn't know they made a new one that can accommodate the extendable arm.

For anybody still wondering, the Pat's hitch will indeed fit the b2630/b3030. It works extremely well. Add me to the list of satisfied customers.

I am curious why you were not interested in the new one that replaces the ends of the lower links entirely? That seems like a more refined setup to me.

Thanks for sharing,

Rob

I think you're right. I think it is more refined. To be honest, I just didn't like how it looked in the pictures. The latch mechanism on the slide in style sits up really high and it just looks sort of goofy to me. The old style seems beefier looking to me. Plus, the old style has a lot of proven miles under it's belt. I tend to stick with proven technology. I have no doubts about the slide in style, I just thought the old one 'looked better'.
