3-Point Hitch Can you pull a 7’x12’ dump trailer with a 3pt trailer hitch receiver?

I would be cautious from pulling anything above the draw bar position to prevent the tractor from tipping backwards. Isn’t there a reason that farm trailers were specifically made to connect only to the draw bar?

If you are just moving it around the yard, I dont see why it would be a problem. I have a 7x12 cam, and move it around the yard with my b9200, with a homemade trailer mover. Like the others say, I'd chain it down if you were using it to move material.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate all your input and suggestions. I do not plan on moving these logs and brush anywhere on a public road. Only moving it from the farm pond area to a plowed field on my same property to burn it all before next season. I think I am gonna just chain the hitch to the draw bar so it goes up only high enough to keep the jack out of the dirt and go for it. Thanks again.

Let us know either way of success or failure... Possibly for giving advice in future...

I WOULD NOT recommend using the three point. Put a block of wood under the trailer jack so it will lift higher. Or use a different jack. Pull the trailer with the draw bar.

Dump trailers can and do have negitave tongue pressure when dumping. How your 3pt will react to that idk.

Done it many times. I simply set the hitch to the height I want before dumping and chain the 3 point receiver to the drawbar before completing the dump. Takes an extra minute is all.

oosik - its not a matter of lifting the trailer tongue higher to hook up to the draw bar, its a matter that the dump trailer jack is too close to the ground when pulling the trailer through a rough field while connected to the tractor痴 draw bar. I need to build and burn a large brush pile.

I think I知 gonna try what storm56 said. Thanks
