John Deere Front End Receiver Hitch

Yes, I know the tractor has a drawbar, but most of these tractors without loaders have very limited attachment points when working off the front end. I added this to my 2555, I can use any "Receiver Style" device: tow hook, broad cast seeder/sander, drop down drawbar, my 10 ton winch on its adapter plate, barbed wire reel, plate mounted vise for repairing baler belts, etc... Very universal, I like pushing wagons in the shed this way when working alone. I stole the idea from the little old Ford tractors with the grill guard/front drawbar.

Made out of 1/2" plate steel, 6" receiver tube, couple D rings. I over sized the holes when I drilled them for easy fit. The front of the tractor casting is not flush so I added 2" strips along the backside where the bolts go to build it out. I welded gussets four ways to "beef" it up. Just thought I would pass along..

I like that ! I have a Case DC w/an adj. w/f that I could put one on. Lots of ready made holes to mount it !!
 
Made a couple of receiver type hitches for son's and my zero turn mowers. Had a car which had a smaller receiver, had drawbars left over. Works just fine for light duty like lawn carts, fertilizer spreaders, estate rakes. He has a 4 wheel unit, and has to be careful not to load tongue weight very heavy - lifts the front off the ground. Mine is a woods - 6 wheel unit - front and rears are caster type. so no problem with tongue weight.

Like your setup. Wish my tractor(s) had some provision for mounting a hitch somewhere below 2 1/2 or 3 feet off the ground.
