I've been perusing the boards trying to figure what else I need to make my new to me 49 ready to work. My current implements are a 5' brush hog, a posthole digger and a 5' x 6' lightly weighted chain link pasture drag. May occasionally pull a small trailer hauling brush/trash/etc.
This is what Ive got so far and need to complete the setup. I obviously at minimum need draft arm chain stays but there are several ways to get there. Seems most would recommend a SWINGING drawbar setup to handle the whole thing but I'm not sure I understand why. Could you please give the why's. I assume it would be prudent to also get a set of sway bars. Also seems I'll need an adapter to get from the PTO to the implements.
This is mounted under the rear center section.
What is it? Looks like it would need to be removed to mount a swinging drawbar.
