Pat's EZ change snafu

Doc · Sep 29, 2007

I bought Pat's EZ change hitch system a couple of years ago, and love it.
It makes it ez to change all of your 3ph implements.
But, I've just found one minor annoyance. I have a 6' rear blade. I needed to rotate the blade and darn if the ends of the U bolt aren't in the way. Now I have no way to turn the blade when it is mounted on the tractor.
Anyone else have the EZ change system?
Have you run into this issue?

Yes, I have them as well. I do remember having trouble the first time I tried to reverse my 5' blade. But then figured out that if I retracted the top link (hydraulic on mine) it would swing around without problem.

I don't have that system but can't rotate my 6' blade since it hits the tires...

I have Pat's. My blade is offset so I can rotate it one way but not the other. I can't get my blade to offset the other direction. I would try Jerry's suggestion of shortening the top link and then spinning.

Good suggestion Jerry. I'll try that, even though I don't have a hydraulic top link.

My 6' is centered and comes really close to the wheels, but normally spins okay. I tried different height positions with the 3ph thinking that would help but it didn't. I never thought of the top link option. :pat:

I bet that works. Dang if I haven't already removed the blade and turned it that way.
