TED20 Towing

I am now the proud owner of a TED20 with front loader, the trector was in good condition but the loader has major leaks, all now fixed. I have a small topper which now runs on an upgraded PTO.
I would like to tow trailers with the tractor but am struggling to find a suitable towing assembly.
Can anyone please advise.
 
Welcome to the "YT" group TurbineJon.......

I'm NOT familiar with the terminology "topper"

It's indeed a great day when one learns something new...............:)
Thanks..

A simple flat plate with towball attached to the under side of the transmission casing is all that's needed if you don't need hydraulic lift for your trailers . Any metal shop can knock one up quickly and economically.
The attachment points are already there , four blind UNC threaded holes usually full of dirt or even painted over, look for them just forward of the pto shaft.
Half inch plate and a tow ball will pull any trailer and at a low level so flipping the trailer backwards is out of the question .
Be very careful attaching whatever you choose , the casting at the bottom of the blind holes is very thin , too long a bolt will pop off the end and cause a massive transmission oil leak . The original fasteners were studs , threaded in UNC at the transmission end and UNC at the attachment side.
One of the most useful and convenient hitches is the Ferguson Auto Hitch , this allows you to engage a ring hitch trailer from the driver's seat and raise it to transport height for travel, then lower it to disengage once finished .
 
For moving trailers around, I really like something like this:

It allows you to back up to a trailer and pick it up without using the jack. If you're moving it a short distance you never have to leave the tractor seat.
