Pat\'s Easy Change for BX23. Does it work?

Been looking at the Pat's Easy Change for adding to my BX23. Looking for feedback (pro and con).
The only attachment is a 42" mower that it would be used on. Also, when the BH is re-attached, would these get in the way when you have to retract the arms?

The Easy Change thingies attache to the ends of the 3pt arms...which are not on the machine when you install the BH, unless they've changed something between the BX22 and the BX23. The whole 3pt is dismounted before the 'hoe is attached. Therefore, "Pat's" system would not interfer with the backhoe.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about Pat's easy change system, and have been thinking of getting it myself. But I have a box blade which is not open on either side of the pin you hook onto. In other words my hook up looks like this:
|-| instead of the normal --| and |--
I wonder how wide the quick attach mechinism is and would it work on a hook up like my box blade? My brother borrowed my digital camera, once I get it back I'll snap a pic to better explain, if needed.
Thanks,

Moon, my tiller is set up the way your box blade is configured. Pat's system works fine with the tiller. You simply eliminate the use of the washer thingy on that type of implement connection.
