Troy bilt
Troy bilt used to make a tow hitch attachment for their larger PTO tillers. Something has always caught me as odd though. If you walk behind the tiller to turn it how in the heck can you turn it with a cart on the back? I thought maybe you could ride on the load in the trailer but then I thought that the connection between the tiller and the trailer would buckle. Thats when a crazy little Idea hit me. What about pushing a cart? At least on my 11hp Big red horse I can use the dozer blade pretty easily so why couldn't a hitch be put on the front to push a utility cart?
Has anyone operated the troy bilt tiller with a hitch attachment? How well did it work? I've never seen pictures of one in action.

Like this one. I did the same with mine. Sit on the front of the trailer and push handlebars sideways to steer. The hitch has to pivot on a vertical pin only, not freely like a ball hitch.

(probably found this photo on TBN, but can't find where)
