F2880 rear hitch

[Fields_mj]

Does anyone have any ideas for a rear hitch on a Kubota F series tractor? I'd like to add on to my (new to me) F2880. Mine currently has the factory rear weight installed. Idealy i would like to mount a 2" receiver tube just to make things convenient.

Primary goal is to be able to pull my lawn rake so I can pick up most of the mulched leaves in the fall and grass clippings when I get behind on mowing.. I would also occasionally pull a small 4' trailer around the yard. Ideally I'd also like to pull my lawn roller so I can flatten out mole damage without having to get my 1710 out, but the roller is close to 1000 lbs and I'm not sure the rear end of an F series will handle that, especially when turning around.

Any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

I purchased a 2" receiver hitch from Harbor Freight for $25. Bolted right on my F3680 several years ago.

I have a F3990 and used a bolt on pin hitch to the rear counter weight. I reinforced it with welds. I use the hitch for a 52 inch lawn sweeper. It works well.

Thanks! Did you bolt it on to the factory weight, or to the tractor frame?
