Need Help with Imatch

[rlcowder]

Hi everyone, I have a 2210 and last year I bought the TSC 5 foot box blade. I would like to get a Imatch type set up for it But I can't find any info on which one will work best without mods for my box blade. I don't have any welding equiptment so I would like to just do this once. Have any of you added a brace between the arms of the Imatch and added a 2 inch reciever right in the middle. My 2 highest use items are box blade, trailer. Any recomendations?

It's not an Imatch exactly, but you may want to try Pat's Easy change system (featured on this site). It's basically some quick release 'J' type hooks that go over the hitch arms (Get the stabilizer bar). There is no hitch for the Center link so you will have to get off the tractor to hook that up.

The advantage over Imatch is that it'll fit ANY item your 3pt hitch will fit regardless of the width and spacing of the fittings. With IMATCH you need to use it with IMATCH compatible accessories. Also you will not need to modify ANY of the accessories except maybe use a washer over the hitch stub.

I have a Ballast Box, 60" rake, 72" blade and a Chipper and it hooks up easily to all of them.

I've a 5' rear blade and don't find it difficult at all to put on and to take off. Key is to park it where it's reasonably easy to scoot. I park mine on 4 short pieces of lumber outside. They allow it to scoot quite easily.

Any heavy stuff I mount on castors. Key is to make them easy to move a little bit.

I have a 5 foot TSC box blade and I-Match. They work together without any problems for me.

Like has been said, be sure to park the box blade on a level spot.
