Hi guys,
You may remember when I made my Quick Attach Gauge Wheels to fit my box blade, landscape rake and rotary mower?
I had the receptacles on the box blade, which is the implement I have on the tractor more than any other. I wanted to be able to tow a small trailer while I had the box blade on so I made this trailer hitch from some scrap steel and a scrap tube.
I reinforced the tube with some generous gussets for strength.
I made it so it pins into the rear of the boxblade.
But by adding a couple of lift pins and a vertical top link brace, I could use it as a regular tow bar right on the 3pt. What I like about this is now I can switch hitches to a ball or hook or clevis. Since my hydraulic winch is mounted on a platform that goes into a receiver, I can mount that into here as well.
