JD 5055 quick hitch

[scootr]

I bought a Titan Cat 2 QH for the Kubota MX tractor but it won't fit some of my older smaller Cat 1 attachments. I watched some good videos of the Pat's QH. That looks good but the talk of implements falling off worries me. I decided to stick with the Kubota factory extender arms and sway bar adjustments. I do think I will make or buy some better sway bar pins. The little cotter pins underneath the sway bar gotta go. These are too hard to locate for me. I think if they were improved the factory system is enough of an improvement over my old tractor that I could easily live with it. Besides at this stage I need the exercise.

I should clarify, I’ve never had the Pat’s lift arms fail causing the attachment to fall off.
It was the snap style lynch pin that got popped off by those special washers (with the 90 bend). They could of just as likely popped off the pin on any hitch when not using the Pat’s.
I only use flat washers next to the lynch pin (on any type of hitch) now.
