The Best Kubota L2501 Hitch System - In my opinion! 

Installed the Pat’s system today using your video as a guide, so much better then reading instructions. I ordered the Mark’s stabilizer bars at the same time, however, Mark is back ordered to the end of the year so we will have to fumble around with the turnbuckles until then. I have more then a dozen implements for my L3301, being in my late 60’s, I am very excited about not having to wrestle with all that “iron” every time I want to change implements

Like your idea of cutting a notch in the spreader bar and painting it

Great video!

GOOD JOB, Thanks Bota !!!!

Great video, I just ordered the stabilizer bars through Kubota, very similar to these. I do not like the Land Pride Quick Hitch that I have currently, but I'll see how things are once I get the turnbuckles off, and the stabilizers on, I might want to go with the Pat's QH kit as well. Watching and Supporting, Dropping a LIKE on your video - hey, I see Hundsman One was here too! Awesome!

Well done vid!

I sent comments 8 months ago. On May 16, 2020, I ordered both the “Pat’s” and Mark’s stabilizers. The “Pat’s” showed up immediately whereas, as you warned, The stabilizers arrived this past Monday 02/22/21. They were worth the wait. You may have mentioned this in your video. One of the things I did not realize or taken into consideration is the fact that “Pat’s” devices extend your lift bars some 4”. I had a Ford 1220 previously (small sub compact, 13 hp @ PTO) I had to cut down a couple driveshafts for the brush hog and 4’ rototiller. These drive shafts were then too short when I went to the L3301 Kubota. I ended up selling both those implements. The extra 4” turned out to be a good excuse to move up to larger implements. Also, the stabilizers cost $250, not a game changer.

Got this system on 2 tractors b2650 and bx2370 both work excellent very happy with them

Holy shit, that's a ton of set up..... My QH15 I set it on installed pins twisted top link out a tad within 3-6 mins I was mowing....lol

Wow. That tractor is so clean. I can't imagine having to use rubber gloves. I like the hooks though.

The hitch adjusters are Same style that was on the 1950's Nuefeild Tractor i drove on the farm in the 1970's.

Getting ready to pull the trigger on these, curious what length top link did you have to move to, as in how much longer. I just can't see spending over $400 for the landpride quick hitch. Thanks and another great video

The best Quick Hitch for that tractor is the Land Pride made for the tractor. You do have more versatility to use varied equipment from other companies with different specs with what you have and for you it may be wonderful. Anyone looking into buying a tractor and having the easiest system needs to talk with the dealer and see just how great the Quick Hitch works they sell and get equipment that matches.

I have the Kubota stabilizers and the price was right at $200, but the Kubota does have one feature I like better than these. The Kubota stabilizers have a slot about in the middle of the slide where these only have position holes. So If you have something that you want to have a little bit of free swing, you put the pin in the slot instead of the position holes and this gives the stabilizer about 1" of free travel in and out, which equates to a few inches of free swing at the lift arms, yet still keeps the arms off the tires if it swings to one side. You can also put the pin in the slot on one arm and in a hole on the other side and this reduces the amount of free travel while still allowing some. Even if you put pins in the position holes on both arms, there is still a little bit of free swing due to slack in the mounting pins and yokes.

Good review of this type quick hitch system. But, what are the bent washers used for?

You still like these? I bought the Kubota stabilizers. If I had known more I probably would have bought the Hodge's. Biggest issue with the Kubota ones is they can rub on your tires. Just got my Pat's in yesterday. I'm excited to put it on this weekend.

I have a Kubota L3200 with turnbuckles and the Pat's Easy Change System. I am interested in the stabilizers but have a question. I fabricated a movable spacer to keep my to Pat's hooks at the precise distance I need to hook up to my implement. With turnbuckles, one has infinite control over distance between hooks. With your stabilizers, it looks like you are finitely limited by the distances between the holes. I carry a large Crescent wrench with me on the Kubota to loosen the turnbuckle locknuts. Am I missing something here that I don't see? What happens when the holes available don't provide the distance between hooks? Thanks. The stabilizers look great, but are they practical?

to set the spacer bar length once connected you could cut a short length of wood or rebar and leave it on the implement for next time, each one its own length, or with thin rebar tag them and keep them in the tractor toolbox, say 1/4 inch rebar is very space saving.

When using the Hodge stabilizers on my 3 point hitch is it necessary after I have added Pat’s quick hitch to use the rod that goes across to hold the arms at a set distance. Doesn’t the Hodge adjustable stabilizers do that ?

I like Pat's quick hitches - but had to get an extra long top link to connect the rototiller - that additional 4 inches can be a problem.

I just bought the harbor freight quick hitch. Not really happy with it, so I’m thinking of installing these instead.

my turnbuckles dont have jam nuts. they have a hole that a hitch pin goes through. i like the turnbuckles better. i can snug things up or give them some room for movement on my implements. i think i'll get the Pats easy change though. they will definitely help.

I wonder if anybody is making lower arms already with quick latch integrated. If I get an extra set probably I´ll give it a try. ;-) Thinking about the best of both worlds, original height, original extension and an easy coupling. No more PTO length issues. Or implements hanging 4" further away. I´m sold on the concept. :-)

Could you please send me a link to Mark's Stabilizers. I can't seem to locate them and would like to buy a set. Thank you.

not sure what the cost of this is but you can go to harbor freight and get a quick hitch for like 115$ and while they both do the same job the only thing I see about this setup you have that I don't like is on my QH15 I can reach the release levers from my seat and when I do a lot of dirt work I am switching between my Ballast and my box scraper regularly and with me being able to reach the levers from my seat it means I do not have to get on and off the tractor sometimes dozens of times a day. that's worth something to me.

How much did this cost for your tractor? (Stabilizers)

Great. Was wondering if the telrscoping stabilizers interferes with the tires now. I saw another video adding the combo of Pats Quick connect and the stabilizers now rub on the tires.

Looks way too flimsy compared to the Land Pride QH 15. I would not trust this system to last with intense use. Bota Trac, you are great. Please let us know how these rickety looking things hold up. We know that the beefy Land Pride quick hitch is one tough piece of metal. Stay safe. R.Henry, M.D.

Hello, I from India, I like pat's quick hitch how can buy this

Why the need for the stabilizer bar?

What is the website for Mark's Stabilizers

the stabilizers are cool, but unless all your attachments are quick hitch compatible , the hitch system looks like it could be a pain compared to the frame system.

Do they work on a Mahindra?

Hey man haha... You should have just took it apart the first time..... Hahaa

pats would be a great item for about$100.00.way to high for me
