Using the 3-pt. hitch with a ball hitch

[familyman]

I have several trailers that often need to be moved around on my property. I've gotten tired of using my pickup truck for this purpose, so I bolted this stabilizer/receiver to a drawbar so I can use the tractor instead: Ballard Fabrication

Please note that this assembly is "Tucker approved".

I just use the lower attachment point on my quick hitch. Does anyone do this?

Not for a 22' trailer?

I moved my car hauler, cargo trailer and travel trailer that way, no problems as of yet. I can also lock the trailer on with the lock catch ofthe quick hitch, but it scratched one of my couplers so I don't anymore. To be noted I have mostly level property.

I made one like yours family man. Just got some steel and bolted it together. Just wish it would not rise up if I step on the back of the trailer.

I hear you there; still more convenient and handier than driving a pickup around the property.

They do come in handy. I found that I can turn my smaller 4x8 trailer into sort of a dump trailer by lifting the 3-pt all the way up. Great for dumping logs.

I have a 3 pt trailer hitch. Great arrow in the implement quiver.

I also just use the lower hooks (either side) on my iMatch to haul around my trailer, log splitter, rented stump grinder, etc... It lowers enough to pick up nicely and fits right into the cup. For short moves I can lift the towed unit off the stand/leg, move it, and set it back down on the stand without getting off the tractor.
