Hooking up a tractor to a rotary tiller with a John Deere iMatch Quick Hitch

What is an iMatch Quick Hitch?

Attaching tractor implements to a 3-point hitch can be hard. The iMatch Quick Hitch from John Deere was designed to make it quick and easy.

The iMatch Quick Hitch is designed to meet the ASAE Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches, which guarantees it will fit any category 1 implement. The iMatch™ Quick Hitch hooks are Category 3 sized, so all implements will require a set of bushings in order for them to fit properly. One set of LVU15507 bushings is included with the hitch when purchased from us. Bushings and bushing kits are also sold separately so you can install them on more implements at a time.

Part Number Details
LVU15507 Standard 1.97 in. long iMatch™ Quick-Hitch link arm bushing
LVU12858 Short (1.26 in. long) iMatch™ Quick-Hitch link arm bushing
LP19969 iMatch™ Quick-Hitch bushing kit including (2) flanged link arm bushings, (2) roll pins, (1) Cat. 1 to Cat. 2 top link bushing, and (1) Cat. 2 to Cat. 3 top link bushing.

Attaching implements with the iMatch Quick Hitch

To attach an implement using an iMatch Quick Hitch, back up to it and line up the middle hook on the hitch to the top pin on the implement. The bottom pins should fall into place as long as the top hook is in line. Lift the implement so that the pins slide into the hooks and lock it into place using the locking levers on top of the hitch.

When you’re ready to remove an implment from the iMatch Quick Hitch, unlock the levers on top of the hitch and lower the lift arms until the implement’s pins slide out of the hooks. Check out the video below for a quick demo.
