I have a Pat's Easy Change on my tractor which I like quite well. However it does not allow the use of sway bars. Normally not to much of a problem except it allows implements to swing side ways during transport. The real problem is backing a trailer on the three point hitch is almost impossible. Does Pat's make lengthened pins to enable adding sway bars.

Time to buy a tractor that has a real drawbar.

Case Guy is correct; there is a danger holding back a heavy load on hills. The drawbar between the lift arms can raise upward and take traction from the rear wheels. Many people raise the lift arms to gain traction and raise the front wheels off the ground and also present a risk of rolling over backwards. Neighbor got killed a few years ago logging with a ford tractor with the drawbar raised all the way up. Most utility tractors are dangerous of rolling over backwards. A utility tractor gives a bit of false security, I have three utilities and two row crop. I consider a row crop safer for my use

Yes they do contact them... I like mine also
...I was going to make some out of some round stock but I read on here that they had longer pins so I called Pat's and he told me to call Vickie at Greenwell Mfg. I told her I was going to make some and she said she would send me a set no charge. Real nice folks, got them in 4 days. Vickie 1-270-422-4544.
I guess I might be a little confused here. My MF 20c has a drawbar, but I use the 3 point reciever hitch for moving my four small single axle trailers around the farm. The only issue is that when backing the lift arms shift side ways and cause the trailer change direction. Also when I'm using my 1200lb counter balance it's tends to swing when I hit a rough spot.
