iMatch Quick Hitch 3-Point System & Heavy Hitch Receiver Hitch Review
Overview
A two-year owner review of the John Deere iMatch quick-hitch system on a 2025R, not a first-look. Len walks through how the locking mechanism works, demonstrates attaching and detaching a box blade without leaving the seat, and shares a specific fix, a Bolt On Hooks extended top hook, for a common engagement problem. He also briefly covers a Heavy Hitch receiver hitch. Best for 2025R owners deciding whether iMatch is worth adding.
