Pat's Quick Hitch on Kubota

[RussMan]

I have the B3030, and am considering ordering Pat's QH system. My only reservation is whether it will fit on my arms. My arms have the release so they can extend out a few inches (as a convenience in hooking up implements). I assume many/most tractors have this feature. But my question is whether this feature interferes in any way with the QH system. Anyone know or have experience on this?

I have read (on TBN) of the Pat's system not working with some telescoping draft links...can't recall what brand tractor though.
They do make a "Slide In" system now...appears to replace the telescoping part of the draft link (not 100% sure though).
So, why don't you call, e-mail or FAX and ask the manufacturer?

BTW, I had the Pat's system on my previous tractor and I really liked it. Kind of sorry I sold it with the tractor. I'll be getting one for my current tractor...got a few other things to get first though...

Call them.....I got a set for my L3940 and they replace the factory slide out.

Essentially the same answer as kevinj. The factory slide out is replaced using the pin that the holds on the OEM little arm with the ball. It is a straight fit-up but the measurements must be exact.

Go to the Pat's website and see if they already have the slide out system for your model. There are measurements that have to be made and sent to Pat's to make sure everything fits. You do lose the slide out feature since the Pat's are fixed with the pin in place.

I have the B2630 which is the same tractor as yours. I bought the regular Pat's, not the slide in replacement and it is fantastic. Should be standard equipment on all tractors. It's foolproof, simple, well made, and works awesome!
