imatch with 665 tiller?

[asetech]

Does anyone have the imatch with this tiller? When I connect it up, the top pin does not go all the way to the bottom of the hook. Can someone tell me if this is normal? The bottems snap in with no problem and the tiller seems to work okay and it is far enough down so that it will not come out. It just does not "look" right. This is the first thing I have hooked up since i got the imatch so I have not tried the back blade or brush hog yet.

Thanks

There are a few attachments John Deere makes (or Frontier) that are like that. I had a 72" RFM that did not latch in all the way, but it did fine, both forward and reverse, on all terrain types. I would just use it, and I doubt it will give you any trouble.

I have put bushings on some of my top links to make them fit the imatch better. Not sure what size of top link is on your tiller, but something to look into if you are concerned.

Here is what I did to make my I-match fit a 550 tiller.
