Kodiak Rotary cutter and Pats easy hitch - don't fit!

[TmbrWlkr]

I was excited to play with my new class 2 rotary cutter built by Palidan/Kodiak. Low and behold my Pats system is just a bit too wide ( bent the attachment pin, the one with the hole in it that receives the the positioning bar).
The machine is all I could have hoped for as far as performance. The Pats system is on my Kubota L3400 - which I am selling. I am hoping my new Kioti DK5010 with extendable lower link arms, telescoping sway bars, and hydraulic positioning lever (for the 3pt), will negate or minimize the need for the Pats system; as I included them "in the deal" for the L3400. We shall see. I have a couple of other "captured pin" implements, but they have not seemed to be a problem. Just a heads up to anyone with a Pats system considering this cutter.

I could be wrong but it looks like the a frame should be bolted in the rear hole and the pin should go in the front hole . all of my implements are set up that way

I will check that out (doh!) - see, that’s why I am here - good info.

I will report back if it possible (or not) to move it.

maybe it's a photo illusion, but that pin "looks" really small for cat 2

Whole assembly looks odd.... Seems to be designed for only ball end of lift arms...

It’s a class 2” - but Cat 1 - but; pin is small in the hole.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I switched the location of the pins and bolts - good advice here. Pins ARE a little small, and linkage still seems the be flexible.

thanks all!!
