ABSTRACT:
A rockshaft assist quick-attach apparatus for mounting a cantileverly supported implement, such as a backhoe, to a tractor, and also a method of using the tractor's rockshaft arms in conjunction with rockshaft arm receiving members, tractor brackets and implement mountable brackets to assist in attaching a cantileverly supported implement, such as a backhoe to the tractor. The apparatus comprising tractor brackets, rockshaft arm receiving members and implement mountable brackets. Wherein, when attaching the implement, the rockshaft arms are lowered to their down most position. The tractor is backed toward the implement until it is in close proximity and in substantial alignment fore and aft with the implement. The rockshaft arms are raised until the rockshaft arms engage the rockshaft arm receiving members. Further raising of the rockshaft arms causes upward movement of the implement. Further raising of the rockshaft arms causes sequential engagement of the implement mountable brackets with the tractor brackets until the implement and tractor brackets are transversely aligned to receive securing members, thus rigidly but detachably fixing the implement to the tractor.
