Easiest hooking on or off front and rear mowers?

[Blue.]

Kuhn front mower conditioner is simple to hitch,same with rear 3 point hitch trailed mowers,my Kuhn vertical can be an arse to hitch if you hitch the bed side 1st.

Is the front the new type?

As you can see, stand is not touching the ground.

Best unhitched with the end of the bed on a tyre or lump of wood.

PZ 165. Light enough to move around by hand to line up with link arms........

No blocks of wood no dicking around with anything extra as long as the pressure release catch in the last picture is disengaged it's no bother whatsoever

There's certainly worse views. It's pretty wild when the wind is out the north/east in the winter tho

Pottinger alpha motion very easy front mower to hook and unhook, takes 2 mins, all from one side of the tractor too.
Not used the newer rear single mowers but the old ones were easy enough too, as long as they were took off correctly.

Every front mower I have had was a doddle to hook up. As long as I leave the A frame on the mower that is. Stupid useless things.
Butterfly rear mowers are much easier to connect then single rear mowers I think as they are in balance.

100% this! I initially used to try and hook my front pottinger on with the A frame on the tractor and it was a nightmare! Now the frame stays on the mower, which after a few years and a bit of seized up action.. I also think helps reduce the risk of the latch detaching itsself and the mower coming off.
The rear one is Definately more awkward, not difficult but just a bit more awkward.
