Articulating Hitch

[JohninCT]

Trying a regular ball hitch seems easy to do and not too expensive either.

The quad has a 2inch receiver hitch already. I pull my 9foot mower trailer with it all the time. It was more of an issue for my pull behind rough cut and trail mowers. I found a hime joint in town that is going to work. I am just going to make my own receiver hitch.

Here a few weeks ago, i was out mowing with my atv and my rough cut mower. Now the issue i have, the mower came with a really lite weight 3/8 straight pin hitch. My atv has a 2inch style receiver so i was just pulling the mower with a draw bar.

Now if i am mowing on the flats and turning only left and right its fine, how ever when i am in the hills and the brush i am turning on all three axis. So now i have to rebuild the toung on my mower, so i need to come up with some sort of articulating hitch. Need something that will move on all three axis. Perfer something that has like a poly bushing to help eat up the bumps going down hill. Any one ever build one or know where to look for one?

I have a rough cut and a finish mower that i would like for the hitch to work on. Also might want to convert one to hook a ball trailer to for when i am out fencing i can take my small mower trailer with me

Could you just cut the draw bar in half and put a heavy hinge in to allow it to pivot up and down? Left to right pivot is already accomodated by the straight pin. Basically cut where the line is and bolt or weld on the hinge.

Quick and easy and would work with your existing 2" receiver on your atv. Since you have the drawbar already, if you make the hinge out of some 3/4 or 1" tube with a bolt or pin through it, it could be free.

You could try one of these, they're made for off road trailers.
