loader use / seat time

[Mark4510]

"Normally, I use my 8n as my trailer tender as i have a 3pt trailer ball/tounge setup for it. So nice to back up.. raise the 3pt lift and go.. but I had the fertalizer spreader hooked up to it.. and all that was blocking the NAA in the barn as well. The 660 has a mondo cement counterweight on its 3pt. "

Hey Chris,
Can you describe this more? Did you make it or buy it?

We are doing some work in our barn area and I keep moving our 2 horse trailers and using the tractor would tractor would be a lot easier compared to the truck.

Thanks.......
Mark

They are easy to build, it can be as easy as putting a trailer ball on the 11 hole drawbar, and then usng a drawbar lock to keep the drawbar from swiveling.

I made a couple locks from 1/4 plate, and some from bent rebar. both work equally well.

I think i have a pic of the plate steel one.

It isn't clear from the pic.. but where the pin from the drawbar goes thru, there is a large washer welded, to keep the drawbar captive and centered.

Cool adapters. After I got my loader fixed, I used it all weekend. Pulled alot of old fence post with it and moved old hay and manure.I have a bad back and use it for everything I can. Soon it will be a very expensive light bulb changer ! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
