JD I-Match Universal Adapter????

DK_Farms · Jun 17, 2003

Is there a source for universal John Deere I-Match compatible adapters that can be added to implements that are standard 3 pt. only? My box blade goes either way but my Befco mower doesn't. I thought about designing something and building it in the shop but I may be dollars, and quality, ahead if I can find something already made.
Thanks
Ken

OK, I must be missing something here. I thought the idea of the I-Match was to BE universal. I'm not sure what you're looking to find here.

Gary, have you not found any implements that aren't I-Match compatable? I have 3. 3 reasons I bought the telescoping draft links instead. Since I built a shed with a concrete floor, I don't need either one.

Billy,

As I don't have an I-Match as yet, I dont' really know if I've found any or not. The idea of a concrete floor has a lot of appeal but it's about five grand I'm not sure I want to take from the 'new motorcycle fund' and pour on the barn floor, you know?

Gary,

If I were you, the floor would wait. Ain't no reason to take away from the funner fund /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Seriously, not all implements are I-Match compatible. The distance between the top link and the draft link hookups, on uncomputable ones, are too far apart.
