Before I jump into another project, does anyone sell a longer trailer hitch thingy that would make it easier to attach a trailer? It's a struggle getting my ATV trailer attached, fighting with the 3 point stuff. I have a piece of steel but it takes forever to drill those big holes.

Had you considered mounting the trailer ball onto your 3PH assembly?

Here's how I did it using spare parts lying around my garage.

That's a different twist and a possibility. That upper arm would stabilize things. The setup I came up works pretty good.

This is what I have on my tractor. It was like $54 and came with a 1 7/8" and 2' ball. I don't know the manufacture but works perfect as I can just back up to my 16' trailer, lift and move the trailer without having to crank the tongue jack up and down and as you would with a drawbar hitch.

Oh yea mine also came with a clevis pin.

I have the unit like Geneha's. (above) Mine came from Skid Steer Express and included a clevis as well as the 2 ball hitches. It cost me about $88 delivered. Very handy!

I think the easiest and least expensive route is to purchase a Reese step hitch and mount it as discussed in this thread. I just purchased one (my second) to do the same thing. The first one I bought I mounted on the bottom of my ballast box as seen here. The one I just bought was on Amazon and was $25.57 with free shipping.

Here's my version. Welded on the upper crossbar so I can hang suitcase weights on it. Holds 3 weights on each side. Figure about 280 lbs total. The 2" receiver moves my trailer around without getting off the seat.
