I have wondered the same thing--are they as effective as they would appear? My local TSC has had the same 4 units for sale for the past 4 years. My concern was the lower link connection looks like there would be way too much play vertically---not to mention width between pick-up points.

Does anyone sell a quick attach system not unlike that found on skid loaders that just takes a second to use?

I have a TC33D and the cost for parts alone was $280 with a discount ($360 otherwise). It is a nice kit. Had to jack up and remove the right rear tire and the inner fender splash shield. Took about an hour to install though the dealer wanted 3 or 4 if memory serves me. Be sure you get the right hydraulic connectors for the job as (at least for the 33D) NH switched to 1/2" flat face couplers--and getting spares are expensive. I just paid $53 for a female and $35 for a male to replace on a brand new NH LS180 skid loader which is the same part for the TC.

I have a TC33D which has a expanding sway control arms consisting of a solid bar with holes that slides inside a tube with corresponding holes. A pin with a keeper chain makes adjustment quick and simple. Maybe your sway links could be changed out without too much trouble. Also might want to change out the lower arms too as they have manually extending ends which make hitching up easier and quicker.

I had a hard-mounted AM/FM cassette with headphones on my New Holland TC33D---$127 piece of junk. I found myself teathered like a dog to the tractor. No good. Scrapped the radio for a hi-quality muff-style from Radio Shack for less than $50 (AM/FM mono/stereo digital receiver) . Batteries last a long time, reception is excellent, extremely durable, light weight, and allow just enough ambient noise to be safe. I had more expensive ones ($100) but they were heavy, bulky and don't allow for "breathing" of your scalp/ear area--sounds yucky but when you perspire it collects in the muff and runs down your neck!
