I don't want sound like an advertisement, but I have to relate an experience of mine following the addition of a Pat's Easy Change.
Like many others who have owned a 2305 (and other sub-compacts in general), I have been VERY pleased by its performance, with my main concern being its clearance. I did have some difficulty with my LX4 and Grader blade. The former I could reset to carry higher and the latter I had to physically modify in order to carry without scraping ground at even small hills.
Like many, I had wished that the top link were shorter to really pull up the read implement, but I got the perfect equivilant when I added the Pat's Easy Change. The new links add about 2 inches in length to the lower bars, but this short distance make a dramatic difference in how much higher I can get rear implements off the ground. When I first hooked up my grader blade and raised it to the max, I thought something had broken--it had never gotten so far off the ground before. Now I can traverse my front ditch without shaving off a slice of grass. The LX4 gets really high off the ground and can clear any obstacle. In fact, I actually had to LENGTHEN the top link--something I never considered in the past.
I don't know it other easy chang systems have this added benifit for sub-compacts, but Pat's surely does. Not only is it easier to change implements, but they fit better as well.
Happy Tractoring
