Trailer hitch

[RAllison]

I have a127 and a 147. Has anyone ever built a trailer hitch ball to go on the front of the tractor some how,got pics?

Find an old mower deck mule drive and use it as the starting point to mount the ball onto. Should be easy enough to build.

I happen to have one,that's what I was thinking

Those mule drive frames make good weight brackets as well. Here's a wide frame version:

Here's my combo mule drive and weight box.
Also, a great place to stash any trash or rocks you may dredge up whilst tilling or plowing.
A 50-pound scale test weight fits nicely as well.

Oh now that's just nice! I think I'll be thinking this out and maximizing it. I would like to have weight on the front if I ever needed it

 

[dschwandt]

If you are going to till or plow you will more than likely need weight, 50# or more.

I made this one a few years ago. It keeps the weight off the front as to avoid loss of traction or steering issues. Works great...
