JD iMatch quick hitch converted for FEL?

[dmay]

Anyone taken a JD iMatch quick hitch and looked into welding JD hooks/pins onto the back side of the iMatch so it can be used on the FEL? I'm thinking this would be useful for:

- raising 3 pt implements for storing on a heavy duty shelving system to reduce floor space.
- using non PTO 3pt attachments on the FEL.

What do you think?

Runner did, although with a HF HQ, look here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/144744-loader-mounted-quick-hitch.html

Excellent Kenny. That's what is so great about this forum. Post a questions and someone points you to a thread with pics answering everything you need to know. Thanks for pointing me to Runner's thread.

dmay,

I highly recommend building a front-mounted quick hitch. I use mine constantly. I love being able to just run up and grab my carryall, or whatever, even if I already have my mower on the back end.

If you look at some of my other threads, you will see that I also built a three-point boom pole that I frequently use on the front quick hitch.

Best of luck with your project.

The more attachments and combinations thereof, the better.

I'm even working on some for the sides....
