ok...my drawbar has a pin type setup instead of a hole for a ball...guess I could adapt that....anyone know what type tongue weight and overall weight I can handle with this hitch on a 1700?
I think you can pull pretty much any weight your trailer can handle as long as the the draw bar is mounted below the axle, you don't lose traction, and tongue weight doesn't exceed 200#, (has to be tongue heavy).
I was looking for this exact part last summer and realised that several Iohn Deere compacts are really Yanmars with funny looking sheet metal painted green. As I explored this I discovered that the JD750 used the exact drawbar arrangement as my YM2310. The dealer stated the parts were still available, but the price was over $100 for all the required parts. Just another possible parts source to explore. One thing, you should expect to figure which tractor that has the same part as yours. I did this by measuring the bolt spacing on the mounting bracket on my tractor and compared it to the JD's. Just my 2cents worth.
