Default Boom Pole that fits on the iMatch

So okay I got the iMatch .. then later found out it wasn't a Deere exclusive, and wait .. get this .. the generic brands are better because they allow you to raise and lower the "toplink" hook. Oh well ..

So are there any boom poles made that can hook up to the iMatch?

I already took back TWO king kutter implements (rake, cutter) because they woudln't fit. Sales guy was like, oh yeah, sure they are all cat 1, they should fit no problem. He even sells the speeco quick hitch there and pointed out it was all the same color, and all worked together. It doesn't, BTW.

Live and learn. At least I got all my cash back.

Im going to take a guess, but like a Post hole digger they dont fit the I-match (and similiar QA attch 3-pt units)...
That would be my thoughts (not 100% certain with Boom poles, but Iam with PSD)

In my humble opinion, the other QH's are not "better" because the top hook is adjustable, that kind of negates the reason to own a QH if you have to adjust it for each implement. There are plenty of implements that will fit the ASAE standard that the I-Match was made for, the problem is the stuff that fits is not the cheap stuff that TSC sells, but stuff like Frontier, Woods, ect.

Here is another link for the ASAE specs.

Having fabrication skills, and tools like a welder are essential to get some new and most older implements to fit the QH's. While it can be a PITA, the benefits will be realized every time you hook up to that implement.

As for your boom pole question, I am sorry I can not help you there...But please understand that the problem is not the QH, but the short-line manufacturers you will not follow standards.

John Deere 4110HST
FEL, MMM, FEL Forks (homemade),I-Match, Ballast Box, #380 plow (modified to fit) Markham LD-48 Grapple, and lots of other STUFF.

Short answer...NO

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

My experience is limited as to all the various pieces of equipment and if they will fit a quick mount hitch. The equipment I've had trouble with is in the way the upper link is designed. The spacing typ is controlled by a spacer mounted below and too close to the upper pin location so the hook on the QMH can't be accommodated.
