EZ-Hitch vs Pat's Easy Change

[Newtogreen]

I would like to install one of these products on my 4115 to ease the hook up pain. Any information concerning the pros and cons of each hitch would be helpful also how they would affect the 3pth arms if any at all. I do like the fact that the Carter and Sons EZ-Hitch doesn't extend the arms, I also think by sitting on top of the arms you may get more hight. Thanks Larry

I like the spring loaded latches on Pat's as well as the spacer bar as mentioned in more detail in this post.

I also think by sitting on top of the arms you may get more height.

You must be a glass-half-full sort of guy, I look at it as losing a little depth for my tiller. Seriously the PTO length should be closer to nominal with the EZ-Hitch, but I haven't had to change out any of my PTO shafts with Pat's either so unless you've got a shaft that's just barely long enough...
