In Reply to: Front Hitch for H posted by Doug Kieta on January 18, 2011 at 11:56:23:
We made a hitch fro the front of our M & SMs that bolt to the front bolster via the two holes in front. We use this hitch to push wagons & such into sheds. Much easier to push a wagon thru a door & around a corner than back it in. This is an old concept and one that many others have done in the past. Local seed delaer used an H with a similiar hitch to back loaded wagons inside to his seed cleaner for years. If you weren't careful I suppose you could break the front bolster off but I haven't heard of it being done.
We also made a tow hitch that connects to the front hitch using a pivot & hitch pin. This allows us to pull one of the tractors from bin site to bin site with a pickup. Makes it a lot more comfortable in the winter time riding in a heated p.u. instead of riding an openstation tractor several miles. Usually, we have the auger hooked to the back of the tractor. Neighbor did break outone of the bolt holes on his nf 656 towing it in the winter when the hyd oil was cold.
I wouldn't think that something as light as a log spliter would cause you problems as long as you watch what you're doing. I've pushed gravity flow wagons with 300 bu on them into the shed with our M or SM. Just watch that you don't cramp the front wheels too tight. If we try to make too tight of a turn the front end will slide. In such a situation you could possible dmage the bolster. Front end will get a little light with a loaded wagon but I never have had it come off the ground though I have heard that will happen if you try it with a 2cyl JD.
