What is the best clevis to use in a stock class? I thought I saw one once that was straight, bolted right onto the drawbar and was set up for a 3" hole....the clevis wasn't twisted...but I can't find the website where I saw it. What does everyone else use? I am trying to get ready for my first pull. Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and don't use a clevis. Cut your own hitch out of 3/4" - 1" steel plate and bolt it down to the drawbar using spacers to get max height. You will get much better weight transfer than you ever could with a clevis. You need a rigid hitch if plan to compete. I don't think that I have ever seen someone using a clevis turn out to be the winner.

I have seen people win with a clevis before..... .a clevis is the easiest way to cheat on a hitch. If you let the clevis hang real loosely from the drawbar and the person checking the hitch isnt smart enough to figure out that as soon as you tighten the chain the clevis will pull up a couple inches, you can gain a lot of hitch height in a hurry. If the rules require the clevis to be completely rigid, and it is enforced (key word there, enforced), then I agree with you that a rigid hitch is the way to go.

Some of the stock classes require you to be completely stock. So, maintaining a stock drawbar is required and one must use a clevis.

Try to get one that the hole sits parallel to the ground. That way you can control the height of it. Just shim it up with washers (big ones) till it is the max height you can go and no slop in it.
