Homemade Hitch Mounts On Back Of Deere Tractor
Made out of 2 by 4 square tubing, the rectangular frame mounts on the tractor 3-pt. hitch. It's fitted with two receiver hitches û top and bottom û and brackets to hold various ball or tongue hitches.
I use the bottom receiver hitch to pull various trailers with either a ball hitch, pin hitch, or even a rope-latch hitch that can be hooked or unhooked from the tractor by pulling on a rope. The top receiver hitch can be used to pull a gooseneck trailer.
The entire hitch assembly lifts high enough so I can still use the tractor drawbar, if necessary. I run a pto shaft through the hitch unit when needed. (DeWayne Zambo, 13842 û 314th Ave., Java, S. Dak. 57452 ph 605 649-7303)
