Hey all,
I have a dumb question that just came up today. I know that 3ph on compact tractors do not have down pressure, so it should not have been a suprise to me today when a trailer that I had connected to my 3ph dumped on me. As you can see in the pictures (if I can figure out how to upload) that I connected a trailer to a drawbar (i think that is what it is called) and everything is fine until I go up a steep hill. When on flat or even semi-flat ground the trailer is great, but as soon as I start to go up a semi-steep hill the darn trailer will dump as the 3ph alows the load in the trailer to act as the leverage and it lifts up and dumps! The mounting point that is under the axle where a 2" ball is also mounted is too thick for my little trailer to mount to so I am stuck using this drawbar and the 3ph. Is there anyway to lock the 3ph in the down position so it will not move up? Are there any other options for me that I am not thinking about? Or do I just need to deal with this issue and find a more level route from my house to the creek?? If I am not making sense, just let me know and I will try to explain or include different pics.
