Pat's easy change best bet to lengthen arm bars?

[BuckeyeHutch]

I recently bought a B6200D tractor. It doesn't have a FEL, so I bought a scooper for my 3 point hitch. The only problem is that the lift arms on my hitch (23.5") aren't long enough to provide enough room to attach my new scooper.

I have read many great reviews about Pat's Easy Change Quick Hitch System. Supposedly this product would extend my lift arms approximately 3.5" to 4" in length. That should give me enough clearance to attach my scoop.

Looking for advice...would I be better off getting Pat's System...OR, would it be better to simply buy a pair of longer lift arms (which would probably entail buying new turn-buckle stabilizers arms as well.)

Thanks in advance!

I have had a Pat's on my B7500 for several years. I am quite satisfied with it. It will lengthen your lift arms by about 4", but you will probably have to buy a longer top link to make everything match. I bought one from TSC for about $25.

Yes you'll need a top link with a 20" body. Kick it up another notch and get Hodge (a member here on OTT) to make a set of telescoping stabilizers to replace the check chains - then you'll be stylin'

Here's the business end of my B6200HST
