3 point drawbar 2" reciever hitch

[Nick 13]

After stoping for the Nephews birthday I couldnt get back into working on the Load Ranger so I dug out some scrap and built a drawbar reciever mount. I had a new Cat 0 drawbar that I mounted some 2.5" box tubing on with some 1.5 x 2 standing up for the top link. Looking for scrap I even found an old drawbar hitch in the pile to use. Didnt turn out to bad for a quick project that was just to kill some time. Have to build a smaller one for the LR. Gave this one to my brother for moveing trailers at work but I did bring home our weight frame that might get used on the LR.

Also at the party the Older Nephew used his Green ranger to haul his brothers birthday gift out. Yep its still green.

That's a fair piece of Q&D imagineering, there, Nick. Good on ya....

Well the receiver hitch did look handy. So I had to start building the Load Ranger version. It needs a few more bits that I should hold off until the 3pt is working and I can test fit them. Did I say the LR hitch would be smaller ? Might not need all the weights when its done.

Something like that would work on the back of my D-200 with the loader..

Or would it be to hard on the 3-point cyld.???

Billy in Va. thats gives me something else to think about!!! :P

Billy, I dont think a weight frame should hurt the 3pt. I guess it would be kind of like if you left a tiller or box blade mounted all the time.

Hi Nick,, I was just thinking of the weight bouncing up & down,,if it would stress the cyld.. But I like the idea !! That way you can still have a hitch & just add weight when you want it !! I have the Ark 500 loader on a 1974 D-200, but it will still get light on the rear !!
