What's this 3pt drawbar thing worth?

[k0ua]

I am thinking $20 at at best.

Well, my sale fell through before we even got to price so I'm going to put it on Craigslist for $50 and see what happens. I'll report back and see who wins. Kind of like the agricultural version of "The Price is Right".

Good luck! I bet it sells.

I wouldn’t give scrap price for it. As you raise the hitch the bar travels in an arc and your hitch pin is in a big ol bind. Cross drawbars pivot on their pins for a reason. When you prefer to prevent them from rotating, a cheap lock installed on a lower link does the trick nicely.

^^^THIS^^^. But having said that you'll probably get $50 for it.

Looks like for a 3pt garden tractor to pull trailers with ball couplers.

For pulling a clevis hitch implement, or for a trailer mover, I would want stronger than that one.

So, I put it on Craigslist two days ago for $50 and got bites right away. A (nice) guy just picked it up and paid $50 with no haggling over the price. Plus, he drove an hour to get it so I'm figuring I could have got more. Anyway, he's happy, I'm happy, the dogs are happy and there's more room in the barn. Thanks all.

They got a good deal.
This company (FUNKWORKZ Tractor Drawbar Stabilizer "The Original!") sells the "anti-rotate" brackets for $55 dollars plus $17.50 shipping that you bolt onto your own cross draw-bar ($70 at TSC) for a whopping total of:
$142.50.

Good that you got what you wanted. Tough to make it for what they paid.

Internet pricing sometimes is for suckers. A Cat 1 crossbar runs about $45 and the last time I looked at an A&I drawbar lock it was MAYBE $30. And TBNers often say dealers are thieves.
