Extension for 3 pt arms

[milkie62]

I have been using a Ford 800 and MF 65 for about 35 yrs.Just jumped up to a Kubota M6800 4wd with 16.9x30 rear tires.My problem is even with the little arm extensions out I can barely fit when trying to attach an implement.The same implements are a breeze with my older tractors.I see on Nothern tool site ,I think the name is Paul's quick hitch ends and was wondering if you think these would help by giving me a tad more arm length so I can hook up a little easier.Anybody else seem to have this problem ?

Pat's Quick Hitch will give you about 4" extension. Available for Cat 1 and Cat 2 hitches. Is M6800 Cat 2?

Will your Lower Links have to remain extended to give you the 4" with Pat's? I do not know.

You can buy Pat's from the T-B-N STORE. See top of page.

Technically, the name is Pat's Quick Connect.

For what it's worth, I am on my THIRD tractor with the ORIGINAL Pat's quick hitches.
[I do toss a new coat of paint on them now and then, mainly when I move them to a new tractor]

For top link - Brian even asked which VERSION of Pat's I had because the length had changed over the years.
I told him 'circa 1998' and he was able to craft a top link with that consideration in mind. It has the perfect reach for the 3046r/cab.
fit-rite hydraulics is his site [or search for him here on this site].

(Thanks again Pat & Brian for making great products!)
