Wow is this going to sound dumb, but what is a drawbar? I heard the B3300SU lack one?

It is usually a heavy steel bar with holes for adjustment that goes under the back of your tractor as an attachment point for pull type equipment and such.

It's designed and fabricated (the mount) to pull at the lowest practical point and place the stress in an appropriate place. Pulling in the wrong place can crack castings...or worse.

You can get an OK one at TSC for $30.

I think the TSC drawbar is for use on the 3PH.

Perhaps the OP means the drawbar that attaches directly to the tractor.

I bought one of the ones in the second link a few years back It's more like a butter bar and not a drawbar.
It's very soft black iron and it bends readliy. I bent mine standing on it to clean the back window on my tractor and I'm not overweight.
I was going to use it to get a bit more swing on my old square bailer. It went in the scrap can, I stopped at Alro and bought a real 1x2 length of hot rolled bar, drilled the correct holes and hooked up the bailer. No bending.

I'm sure your tractor has a draw bar. Look near the bottom of your tractor in line with the rear PTO shaft. There should be a solid grey bar that is about 1.5x2" and could be 16-20" long. It has a large pin in it that allows for some position adjustment.
There are 3ph draw bars as well but that is not the same thing as the one that came with your tractor.

The 1st pic is what most people call a drawbar, mounts under the axle housing. The 2nd pic is a 11 hole drawbar that mounts to the lift arms. The 11 hole lift arm mounting drawbar is all tractor supply will have. The common drawbar (in 1st pic) will be Kubota oem or fabricated yourself. Fabrication is not too hard, I have made several for custom designs. Material can be ordered from McMaster Carr, then you just need a good drill press. Make sure you have the drawbar mounting under your axle. Philip.

What? A new tractor sold without a drawbar? I highly doubt it. Tractors can be used for many things but one of the most basic uses is pulling something. You need a drawbar for that. If your tactor doesn't have one then I would talk to the dealer and tell them about. They must have forgot to install it.
