Pat I did have a question about the one for my Montana. The shim that fits at the bottom between the easy change arm and the three point. There were two sizes of shims I have a montana 4940C and the thinnest shim was still just a bit too thick. what would you recommend I use instead of the shim ?PATG said:
gemini5362,
The smallest shim is 1/4". If it is to thick, then you probably don't need any shims. The Montana tractors have very stout lift arms. Of course, the 5740 are the worse. They have a bracket around the ball and we made larger receivers just for them.

thanks pat
By the way you can add me to your list of people that love your product. It is so nice to spend 5 min getting my implements hooked up instead of 15 to 30 trying to get them in place. With the turnbuckles on the montana that hold the 3 point in place i just pull up to my implement and then place the 3 point hitch under the pins. I adjust the turnbuckles until the 3 point hitch arm is directly under the pin. I go ahead and hook up the top link and then get back in my tractor and raise the 3ph until it latches. It does not get much easier than that.

Hey fellow tractor owners, first post here:
Does the new Kubota B2620 require a special version of the Pat's Easy Change System. Would this tractor need the system that is adapted for some of the other "B" series tractors? I am ready to order my system, I just want to make sure I get the system that will best fit my tractor. Thanks in advance.

I love my PEC hooks - bought them 2 years ago and can hook up all the implements myself with half the wrestling and none of the swearing. Convinced my dad to get a set as well. I'm sure he still swears, but he did admit they make his life easier.
I did have a problem though with the implement wiggling the washer and popping the ring pin off the end of the ear. I have the Cat 2 size, and this happens mostly with my Cat2 mower, but has also happened with my cat 1 pinwheel rake (using the sizers). it does not happen with my Cat 1 brushhog (also using the sizers)
I saw it before the implement fell off, but I was kind of alarmed, and figured I must have put the washer on wrong. Is the folded end supposed to face towards or away from the center? I have put it on both ways, using the one that allows the pin to snap closed most effectively, but sometimes it wiggles loose and the ring snaps up and the pin could come off.

Anybody want to buy a used Pat's easy hitch system. I still have the original box, instructions and all parts that came with it. $100 and I'll ship it free. Drop me an IM or an email if you are interested. It's for a Cat-2. I'll throw in the stabilizer arm thingee for an extra $10 (I'll ship it seperate). The plastic handle on it (stabalizer arm) was broken in shipping but it never hurt it's functionality for me.

Will this work on a 3PT mounted backhoe?
skipro3,
The system does add 3-1/2" to 4" to your lift arms, so you would need to check your hook up. We have some customers that it has worked great for and a few that it just would not work on the backhoe without modification. You do have a 30 day money back guarantee.

I've only hooked my 3 point up once and then read the reviews of PECS. Once was enough. Ordered my PECS last night, received the on-line confirmation, and 3 e-mails today including that it was on its way! can't wait!

Hey Steve, let me know how you like it. What impliments are you going to use it with?

got the PEC on time, but was too busy to do much with it; finally i started the installation (by flashlight) and had Dad finish it up the next day. They suggest in the instructions to place a broom handle and align it until it fits. Dad did that and its perfect.
Now the only three-point attachment I had was a brush hog waiting for a new gearbox, so I had nothing to test it out with.
Today I got a rear blade, and we chose to assemble it on the tractor. the first piece was the attach point and it dropped perfectly into the slots.
Finished building up the scraper and didn't know the three point had changed.
So far, no complaints at all. I'll let you know when I actually have to "quick change" something..

Help - I broke off the tab that keeps the triangular piece that locks the implement arm in place. I turned my hay rake too tight, and got the T-shaped part of the tab hooked on the rake, then lowered the arm not knowing it was so stuck, and PING! Off it flies into the hayfield.
So I can't weld it back on b/c I don't have it.
Two questions: Is it safe to use the hitch without the tab keeping pressure on the triangle piece (My guess is no...) and 2, can I buy ONE hitch?

Just received/installed my new Pat's Easy Change...Put it to work and am Very happy with it...No more Trying to line this up, push over, and Trying to line that up, push over hope it slides on...Now it's backup, lower or raise arms to correct height, install implement, hear the click, drive away...My kinda action!

The T part on mine has the spring to keep the hitch latched attached to it. Pat has implemented some changes over the last year or so but that part, I think preforms the same function. If the T breaks off it will allow the implement will come off abruptly. You don't want that to happen. It will break, bend and or damage the hitch, tractor or the implement.
The part that's broken is in a spares kit that Pat stocks. PM, Email or call Pat and he will send you one.

I have used pecs for 4 years and love it. I just changed tractors and the pecs is moving over. Pat and company are great and prompt with service. I broke a couple of alignment bolts removing the old unit and one quick call and the parts are promptly in the mail. Great company to do business with. Great product.
