3 Point Brawbar Stabilizer

I need to pull a trailer with my tractor from the drawbar that attaches to the lift arms of the 3 point. I put a 2" ball on the middle hole. I read here (I think) that someone made a device that would hold the drawbar from rotating.
I went to TSC, and they had never heard of such.
Is there such a device?

All guidance is appreciated!

Concerning the lack of down pressure and the trailer raising up the drawbar, I found a nifty solution. The tractor I am using to pull the trailer with is a Kubota L225. I took the top link from the Ford 4000 I have. I put one end on the tractor where it normally goes, and the other I can attach to the drawbar with a smaller pin. It leaves a little ability to raise & lower, and prevents the lift from flying up if I stop suddenly, or all the weight shifts to the back of the trailer.

I plan to make the anti-rotation device from a couple of pieces of channel iron as discussed below.
And yes, the TSC guy was pretty clueless. He first went to the trailer hitches (for autos & trucks) after I told him several times it was for a tractor!

Thanks for all the advice! I'll let ya'll know how the hayride goes!

Actually they are really easy to make as others have said. If you have so steel strap and a drill you can make one easily. Bolt one end of strap to drawbar and run other end over lift arm. Use a ubolt or j bolt and attach strap under lift arm so drawbar cannot turn.

All that they will do is stop it from swinging from side to side.

Stay bars on the other hand connect from the lift arms up to the same place that the toplink connects to the tractor forming a triangle and locking the height of the 3 point lift. Stay bars are adjustable so that different heights may be accomodated. When using stay bars don't operate the 3 point lift or you'll bend or break something.

Va lu - Bi lt sells the anti-spin stablizers as well. Most likely the hold-down bars too.

You can bolt a short chain from a regular swinging drawbar (if you have one) onto the 3pt drawbar & really helps too, allows some movement of the 3pt but keeps it from ramming upard & hurting someone. That is a serious concern with just using the 3pt bar as a hitch.

Over at www. tr ac to rby net. com they are selling a 3pt device that has a reciver tube, kinda neat, can look at it & build your own if you are handy.
