Read articles →This video follows one owner's step-by-step installation of a Pat's Quick Hitch on a Kubota L2501, including a lucky find at Northern Tool for $58 instead of $179. It walks through shim selection, hitch pin orientation, U-bolt placement, and squaring the arms with an implement bar. No field test is shown, it ends at installation complete. Best for L2501 owners about to install the same system.

The instructions call for finding the correct shim so the quickhitch does not rock, and the larger shim works perfectly for the L2501.
The hitch pin with the large hole needs to face toward the inside of the tractor, with the cotter pin inserted afterward.
Use a broom handle or implement bar across both arms to keep them square and set the distance before tightening the set screws and lock nuts.
