Overview
A hands-on walkthrough of the specific modifications needed to mount a King Kutter XB tiller onto a John Deere iMatch quick hitch, problems most videos skip entirely. The owner shows two real fabrication fixes: replacing the top-link spacer with scrap square tube and extending the lower-link pins using 7/8-inch ID steel tubing cut to size. Useful for anyone attempting the same iMatch conversion with a subcompact-sized implement.
