I have a couple different things I have tried over the years.... A quick hitch works. BUT I think it works better on a big tractor that carries just a couple different larger attachments. It makes it easy to hookup but you still need to adjust around the toplink most of the time AND everything you have has to be setup on a quick hitch system. If you have different tractors with different category hitches then you sort of create an orgy of issues with compatibility. That's sort of the big picture rub on them for usage on smaller machines.
I think Pat's Easy Change system is a better setup for smaller machines, however the key to this is to leave a toplink attached to every implement you have. Then you don't have to adjust much. That's really the most convenient setup IMO when you are talking about 5-6ft attachments. It's compatible with about everything... But again you might have to have tweak things to get this setup correctly AND if you swap to this system you might find your PTO is short because it extends you lower arms.
I don't know... I have all this stuff and they have their pros and cons. I would do a web search on Pat's vs Quick and it will pull a lot of posts off TractorByNet talking about the differences in these setups with a ton of information. All tractors are different and some are easier to attach things to for sure. I have one with telescoping lower links that are factory and that machine doesn't need something like a quick hitch it's already got one. Or at least it's easy enough.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

You better believe it’s worth it. Especially if you’re getting some age on you.
