dmoore 826 #1 Posted February 18, 2022 I just wanted to drop a few lines here and thank Lowell, aka Wheel Horse Parts and More for doing what he does. I received my 2" rear receiver hitch today and I couldn't be more thrilled! Yeah I know, it's just a tractor right? No, It is a big deal to me since I pull some heavy loads around my property in the form of cut up fallen trees, mostly pine. The tongue weight on my 5 x 8 trailer can get quite heavy. What I previously had installed was putting a LOT of stress on the UniDrive and I was worried it may crack or damage it. Without getting to far into it, that ball mount is still bring sold on Ebay. Can't say enough about Made In USA! Quality craftsmanship with quality parts, the way it should be! Thank you Lowell! 8 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For future reference, if you purchase direct from Wheelhorse Parts and More they don't have to pay evilbay for the transaction. Please share some pics of the tractor in heavy pulling form!! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmoore 826 #9 Posted February 18, 2022 This is the one I had initially. Too much leverage on Unidrive! The weight twisted the bottom of the factory hitch on both sides. No good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't feel overly comfortable about putting more than 100 lb or so on that. Maybe less. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's about 12ºF out in the garage so maybe later after work I'll install after I put the heater on. Looks great by the way! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmoore 826 #16 Posted February 18, 2022 Thanks Craig, And the extra 20 or so pounds is an added benefit when pushing snow next time! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And for that matter you can hang a whole pile of extra weight right off of that hitch which is also more added benefit.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
