I was look for a way to move trailers around without the truck. I didnt want to buy a hitch for the tractor so I made one!!

Innovative. :thumbsup: Are those 2 different size hitch balls? I can't tell. Also, did you use any sections from an old pallet jack?

 

[JD230511]

Thanks sandburranch. Creekbend, all pieces I had laying around the barn. And yes 2 different size balls my 12' trailer is a 2" and my 16' is a 2 5/16. I can even move the old flat bed grain wagons we have for hauling fire wood!!

Just need a 2 5/16 on the top of 3pt hook-up. I use this for goose neck trailer. Do not know where the 1 7/8 goes. Nice build.

You did a GREAT job of covering your needs with one attachment, and better yet built it out of stuff you had on hand. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I agree..........great job:thumbsup:

I wanted one for a gooseneck, but sold it to my uncle. I hardly ever used it. I didn't think my tractor would move a gooseneck, but after moving them old flat bed grain wagons with it, I think it would. I tried to cover all my needs as of the time I built it. I don't have a trailer that takes a 1 7/8 or it would have been on there also!! Thanks again guys

I just rattle caned it, but my father in law works at a place that does powder coating, I'm trying to talk him it to running it through when they do yellow. He said it would be Caterpillar yellow, but hey free powder coating it would become with me.

Thats a great project. Around my parts, we call that Yankee Ingenuity!

I really need to learn how to weld.
