Hook Up and Go: Look how much easier attachment hook-up can be (Spring 2008)

Getting the most from John Deere Equipment

iMatch You bought your tractor so your back didn’t have to work so hard. So why is hooking up attachments such a pain? John Deere engineers asked the same question and here are their back- and time-saving solutions.

iMatch™ Quick Hitch. No holes to line up, no pins to snap your fingers. Just back up to your 3-point tool, raise your tractor’s 3- point hitch, and flip two latches. You can drop one attachment and pick up another without leaving your tractor seat.

iMatch AutoHitch™. Need to hook up the PTO on your rotary cutter or rear tiller? You can do that, too, from the tractor seat with the iMatch AutoHitch. Once your attachment is locked into place, the AutoHitch connects the drive shaft—while you stay in the seat. How slick is that!

OnRamp Mid-Mount Mowers. Does your tractor use a mid-mount mower? John Deere engineers made mid-mount hook up easier, too. Rather than muscling the deck under your tractor, you simply drive the front tires right over the deck. Guides on the On- Ramp deck steer you into the perfect position for deck hook up. Plus, when the deck is off, special brackets let you lift and transport the OnRamp Mower Deck with your 3- point or iMatch Quick Hitch. Deck storage and service just got easier.

Quick-Park™ Loaders. Using a loader—great! Hooking up a loader—a real pain! Well, the pain is gone with John Deere Quick-Park Loaders. You can attach and detach these loaders in minutes, without tools. And your tractor’s hydraulics do virtually all the work. Stop in and see these muscle-saving designs at your John Deere dealer.
