Harbor Freight/Pat's QCS

I just cancled my H/F order and have tried to find out how to order Pat's system and all I get is "page can not be displayed". I want to order it on this site but I may have to try a different site. HELP!!

I just clicked "back" to the General Forums page. Next to the Customization is Pat's ad. I clicked it and it worked. They had a toll free number for international orders. If you can't get there post back and I'll get the number for you. JC

Here you go; International Orders: Please call (888) 243-4204 before ordering.

Thanks to all I ordered by phone: Talked to a very nice young lady and with her southern and my Texas drawl I should have my merchandise shortly, this still leaves me puzzled for months I could have order by using this site and today that was not possible. I could only get "Page can not be displayed" oh well it is still good to be able to talk to a American who is just up the (road) from you instead of India. just a old retired Texan

You'll like Pat's Quick Connect System.... at least I do. Be aware that sometimes you will need a different power take off shaft and/or top link... because Pat's system lengthens the 3pt arms a little.... you will just have to see after you install the QCS if your implements still have sufficient drive shaft length going up/down hills... and if implements can still be set at the desired angle via top link. YOU MUST CHECK THIS. Also, I use a bungee cord to hold the lower 2 points together at the right distance apart while backing to an implement... rather than the bar that holds the arms apart....

I bought a "Pat's Easy Change" and it came UPS yesterday. I can't wait to try it out but I am going to be tied up until Wednesday.

No one said life is fair.

Did you get Pat's QH put on your tractor and how do you like it? I have not received mine yet.

I installed Pat's Easy Hitch last night. I normally have to wrestle the mower or tiller to get it on. I really used to dread switching implements. Anyway after I installed the new hitch I carefully backed up to my tiller and pushed against the pins, lifted the hitch a little (from inside the cab with AC) and the lower links snapped shut around the pins. It was so easy I couldn't believe it. All I had to do was slip on the pto shaft and pin the top link and I was done with no prying, hammering, wrestling, or cursing!

I did receive my QH today and installed it mowed some and its A- OK never said a bad word under my breath or out loud.
I hate to mention this but one thing I thought was so nice I bought a American product and the directions where only in ENGLISH no spanish just plain USA English felt like the 60's or 70's and I LIKED IT !

Glad to hear everything went well.

I actually bought mine on ebay and there were no instructions with it. Pat's system is simple and the engineering is so straight forward I didn't need instructions. (luckily)

If it would have had instructions I would have attempted the installation without looking at them anyway. When I do this something usually goes wrong and my wife picks up the instructions and tells me what I need to do different. It is pretty humiliating.
