Hey guys,
I bought a cat 1 drawbar from TSC to attach a ball hitch to move my father-in-laws 26 foot jayco trailer the other day. Like an idiot I did not account for the fact that it would easily rotate since it does not have a 3rd point to stabilize it. I ended up attaching the trailer to the front hitch which worked but was certainly NOT ideal. Turned into one of those nights you were glad you didnt kill yourself on the 8n. I have a hill behind my gate and with the tall gear in reverse it did not have a lot of necessary torque or traction. I also had to toss the brushog on to get extra traction on the rear tires but it took all the 8n had not to stall out which it did once. So long and short has anyone modified a standard drawbar to work with a ball hitch. I was thinking of buying a pin the same size as the lower arms which link on to a 3point attachment and putting it through one of the drawbar holes and attaching to top link to keep it from rotating. Any thoughts or pics of a solution. As always thanks in advnace.
