Mine works great for getting the bottom pins connected (especially if you have telescopic stabilizers). I think my Pat's came with a bar that will hold the lower arms at the right spacing, but it needs to be removed for hooking up the PTO (telescopic stabilizers eliminate needing to use this at all). The only other thing is the fact that the Pat's moves the connection point back 3 or 4 inches and requires additional top link length. For mine, I had to purchase a longer top link. If I had a hydraulic top link, I would probably get a quick hitch. Even though the quick hitch should work better, seems like I would have to get off to adjust the top link anyway.
