Mike2... From some previous discussion back on 6/13, I am assuming you have this drawbar:
 therefore there are no drawbar stays to the top link... "Now, what do you guys use for pins to keep the bar from swinging? I can't find anything that will work from the local tractor supply store." I would just use some bolts. YOu can just drop them through or put nuts on them. High strength (grade 8) will resist bending, but any will work. "Also, The reason I got the bar was to pull a utility trailer and not have the up and down movement. But what good is it to put the drawbar off to the left or right side and why are there so many different positions the bar can go (as in to the left or right)?" Left and right adjustment has very little use for a trailer unless, as John says, you have a need to offset the trailer to get closer (or farther) from something. The swinging feature (without the pins) is principally used for heavy pulling of implements in the field. The swinging makes turning easier. "Tha bar also adjusts in and out what is this adjustment for?" In and out is for preference and weight distribution. Also, "in" may not provide enough clearance for turning. "Now, when I do use my trailer, I would assume I pin the draw bar straight out. Is this right" Yes " or should I let the draw bar unpinned to freely move side-to side?" No Jim
