I did go with a dead blow hammer (it’s orange and won’t rust) and did some serious work with it to get the tab into the arm.You'll likely get used to it and become proficient. Experience, a boot, rubber mallet, and raw strength usually persuade most implements into alignment.
I have a 5' bar and find it a huge help for inching implements around into alignment.I did go with a dead blow hammer (it’s orange and won’t rust) and did some serious work with it to get the tab into the arm.

Who wouldn't want five, ten or even twenty tractors, but two tractors is certainly a good start and makes life a lot easier. I never underestimate the value of convenience. In my small world, there's a tendency to use something more often when it's easier to do so.The best solution for attaching implements is to have one tractor for each implement!
I agree with the snarky guy on this forum that recommends a pair and a spare for tractors and EDCWho wouldn't want five, ten or even twenty tractors, but two tractors is certainly a good start and makes life a lot easier.

As an example, before I ran 220V power to the garage, I used to wrestle with the clothes dryer to gain access to the outlet behind it, run an extension from the dryer oulet through a window and out to the garage, and connect a second extension in order to do any welding or plasma work. Once done I had to reverse that process. It was such a pain that I'd tend to wait until enough work piled up to make the hassle worthwhile.
After I trenched from the house to the garage, installed conduit, ran 6-gauge wire, installed a breaker box and outlets, I now leave the welders plugged in and a 30 second welding job doesn't get put off. I find that I do a lot more welding these days and enjoy it more since it's not an Olympic event getting power to the garage. Yep, the power of convenience! (pun intended).

I'm getting ready to order an L3302 or L3902 and am putting together my purchase list and "wish list". Not sure which list the quick hitch should go on. Sounds like a useful addition but not sure if it is justified at this point. I will mostly be switching between a rotary cutter and box blade on the rear PTO.Outstanding and thank you @RCW
My Kubota guy brought a quick hitch over for me to try. I was attaching a Nolts Raised Bed Layer to my L3302. This was frustrating as my plan had been to run the hopper over the field for fertilizer and pest control, then start running the beds. After all of the time it took to hitch up just to move it, it is hitched and going to stay there until all of the rows are laid. Then I will try this LP quick hitch (which I must say is pretty impressive). I have very few implements at this time but most are PTO but my research seems to indicate it can be a little bit of extra work to use the QH and PTO but not impossible and might be less of an issue using a PTO extender.
Like anything, there will be some that swear by a QH, and others that won't deal with them.I'm getting ready to order an L3302 or L3902 and am putting together my purchase list and "wish list".

Good info. ThanksLike anything, there will be some that swear by a QH, and others that won't deal with them.
Either position is fine with me.
I bought my QH for $80 many years ago from Harbor Freight.
If buying new implements, many are now QH compliant. However, some are not and something to look into. Older implements likely may not be, but often can be modified to fit.
If you now have PTO-driven implements, the QH lengthens the needed PTO shaft length 3-4". Depending on the length of the current PTO shaft, that may/may not be problematic.
Many of the QH's have hooks that are Category 3 in size (large diameter). Your implements will likely have Cat 1 pins (smaller diameter). May require use of a bushing on the pin to properly fit the QH hook. Bushings can be had for a few dollars. I have bushings on all the pins I want them on.
Some pins I don't bother, as they don't need the connection to be "tight." Good example is a Carry-All I use all summer. All I do with it is lift. Doesn't need bushings.
My Box Blade does have bushings, as it engages the ground and has much more torque on it.
Can easily make them if so inclined.
8 hours? Wow ...So I got the new washing machine installed today..only took 8 hours. Problem after problem but got it finished. The washing machine has Wi-Fi and smart home connectivity and I named it Kubota because it's a front loader![]()
What hydraulic post hole digger is that? I'm looking to put one on my lx4020
