You would still have to get off to hook up the 3rd arm.

For $180 you can buy a standard 3 pt quick hitch that includes the top link. Dad has them on every tractor he's got.

ok if you put them on that moves the equipment back aprox 3 or 4 inches on the arms but not the top link like seams that would change the geomatry of the three points up an equipment wouldnt stay level as it was raised and lowered also it would stretch the drive shaft that much as well we use a regular quick hitch and an extension on the tractor with no problems just my thoughts

I own a Pats and have used it for yrs. The pros are it will accomodate any implement regarless of pin width or top link height. Cons are it will move ya back a couple inches. For most things thats not a problem and if your tractor has adjustable top link you can till make an implement travel on the level. I have a cat 2 set I will sell for 80.00. Half the cost of new.

They only work if all you stuff matches and you can't switch from cat2 to cat1. Almost none of my cat1 stuff is built the same so those one piece quick hitches are useless.
