3-Pt. Mounted Drawbar Keeps Logging Chain Secure
 ✖  |
William Andrei, Ravenna, Ohio, uses an old tractor drawbar, mounted horizontally between the lower lift arms on his tractor, to haul a logging chain back into the woods. The drawbar pins onto the 3-pt. lift arms and is equipped with a pair of U-shaped metal brackets, on which Andrei wraps the chain.
“I use this idea on my Deere 790 utility tractor. It eliminates the need to drag the chain on the ground or spend time wrapping it around my tractor’s 3-pt. lift arms. And, I don’t have to worry about losing the chain in the woods,” says Andrei.
He bought a Ford 9N tractor drawbar at a flea market for $10. He made 2 U-shaped brackets by bending 2 lengths of 1/4-in. thick, 1-in. wide flat stock into a U shape. Then he drilled a hole in each bracket and bolted it to the outer hole in the drawbar.
“Whenever I go to get a log, I just wrap the chain around the two brackets so it won’t fall off,” says Andrei.
