trailer hitch for sq bailer

carasel · Apr 14, 2011

I have an international 420 bailer. i want to build a hitch to pull the trailer behind.
I've looked at new bailers and a few pics of used ones with hitches added. This has given me ideas. I would just like to get some more ideas. It's a four wheeled trailer. So holding up the tongue isn't an issue. just need to pull.
On the hilly sections i would still use the tractor to pull the trailer. Picking bales up by hand.
thanks for any ideas,
eddie

Go to Messicks website and look at the parts diagram for your baler and you can see how the factory hitch was designed and mounted. It might help you with your project. Just make sure it attaches solid to the frame so that it doesn't twist anything as the trailer will give a lot of side force when turning.
