Use for draw bar?

I can pull T-posts out with my loader but for wooden fence posts I use a drawbar with a chain choker on the 3pt. Sometimes it takes a few 'bites' to work it up out of the hole.

They are actually a thing of the past on most of today's tractor since they come with a fixed draw bar off the rear tranny.

For reference, TSC has a diagram that shows all the pieces and description of what they do in their catalogs (free!:thumbsup:).

A friend of mine just bought a used Kioti and installed a rear drawbar between the 3pt arms. To that he attached an item that allows a 2" receiver hitch to bolt to the horizontal drawbar and it also has a rect. tube that goes to the top link to allow the bar to stay stable. This item also allows the low center of gravity for him to tow his dump trailer to allow its use for 'sugaring' work. A 2' receiver hitch attaches into the lower part of the triangle to allow him to connect his receiver hitch just above the drawbar with no rotation or other issues.

Ignorance is sometimes embarrasing, but I think I favor that over stupidity.

Draw bar:

Not that I need one, I don't know, but I've been seeing them around and I don't know what they are used for. So, let me have it. You can pound on me if you like, just slip the answer in there somewhere.

they are use for drawing, jeez

I'd like to get a swinging draw bar for my B7200 but I haven't seen one on a machine yet.
Are they all the same?:confused:

Towing with my 3pt hitch can work but when backing the hitch can lift at interesting times.:confused2:
Anybody have photos of their swinging draw bar or of a method to keep the 3pt from lifting unexpectedly?

On my frontmount snowblower attachment where the power for the auger is from the rear PTO, it supports the transfer case and under the tractor frame rails. Roger

Thanks for all the info, especially the safety advise. Doggone shame about the fellow involved in the flipover.

Don't think I need one, was just curious.

I'm curious what kind of tractor comes without a drawbar?

46 ford 2n and 79 yanmar 1700 are the first 2 without a fixed drawbar I can name.. :)
