Hello again been gone a long time from this site.
Looking for a DIY hitch so I can pull my log loader trailer attached to winch and then attached to tractor.
I have a clevis style hitch on the log loader and that attaches to the winch . I have a roll hitch on the loader . Loader can roll over if need be tractor stays on wheels. When I turn left and right clevis on winch to trailer can turn as the clevis hitch allows that.
My issue is when tractor goes down a low spot or over a hump I continually bend the pins in hitch as there is no movement in that direction.
Thought I had it all worked out I would roll the trailer hitch 90 deg so the pin goes in from the side rather then down The trailer hooked like this would still allow a rolling action But now I cant turn the tractor left or right.
Neighbor tells me I need to built a hitch that has 2 pins one required to install up and down to turn tractor and a second pin installed sideways to allow tractor to go down into low spots.
Maybe somehow a universal joint???
I have seen these hitches what look to be the end of a 3 point lift arm but not in a 5/8th -3/4 hole size. Only 1.25" size.
Someone must have built something.
A pintle hitch would work but don't have one or want one
