Hey all,
I'm going to build a 3pt cross/drawbar to leave on the tractor when nothing else is on for lifting/pushing/pulling small stuff around.
While searching for ideas, I've come across ones with clevis for skidding logs (I've already read about the dangers of that) and trailer hitches attached, isn't this plain asking for trouble? Even with perfect circumstances and level ground, any braking will cause the trailer to push the arms up? Is there a reason people do this instead of using the actual drawbar, as a "quick fix" for tractors that don't have a hydraulic drawbar pin (not sure what there are called)?
