Switching tow rings

At Blairstown Airport we loose about two minutes each time switch between Tost and Schweizer tow rings. I'm wondering what is being done at other busy operations, there must be a faster way. Help!

Texas Soaring Association keeps a separate complete tow line for use
with our 1-26's. If needed, we disconnect the line with TOST rings at
both ends, move it off the edge of the staging area, and connect up
the 1-26 tow line with a Schweizer ring at the ship end. All our
towplanes use TOST hitches at their end.
