ReelFaster 53 #1 Posted July 23, 2022 Hey gang looking to pickup my first WH tomorrow. I've lined up to purchase a 416-H with low hours. Anyways I intend on putting a hitch on it to move some small trailers around the yard, something like this and this. Wanted to ask how difficult was to install and what's involved. Thanks much in advance! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob J. 1,941 #4 Posted July 23, 2022 I second Eric’s comment. I just did this. It fits like a glove and is stout as hell. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,993 #8 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Just remember to leave the toung wheel on the trailer down and a couple inches off of the ground - it will act as a wheelie bar in case the trailer hangs up on something and the tractor decides to rotate around the back axle. Also remember that your 416-H will get more weight moving than it has brakes to stop. Be very careful moving trailers on hills with your tractor.

I pull some things up out of my forest with my own Horses I would never advise others do. My towing Horses are specially set up and I have extensive training in safety and moving loads. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReelFaster 53 #13 Posted July 23, 2022 Concerns well taken and thank you. I pull these items (Bass Boat, Utility trailer, Firewood trailer) around with my current riding Craftsman mower all on flat land. I've never had an issue, however I do intend on pulling a bit more weight with the WH with loaded firewood. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I tried to get a couple from you but you said you were low on stock and would have to get back with me or I’d have a few. 😉 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily for me all my grade is fairly level on property. Have trails through the woods that are twisty and hilly but will never move anything big through those except my yard trailer and log splitter possibly.

ReelFaster 53 #18 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) I notice the receiver hitch is sold with a #104659 bracket or without. Not quite sure what that is, thanks in advance!!! Edited July 24, 2022 by ReelFaster 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnD 145 #20 Posted July 29, 2022 If you had a plow mount on the rear axle you'd go without the bracket and mount the hitch to the plow mount. As you don't show a plow mount you need the version with the bracket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReelFaster 53 #22 Posted August 7, 2022 Hitch arrived this week and got it mounted this morning. It is really a great product, as mentioned extremely stout and well made. Already gave the wood trailer a test drive, feels great. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,589 #23 Posted August 7, 2022 @ReelFaster when you hook up that under axel plow frame mount , use this type of safety clip , https://www.webstaurantstore.com/nemco-46281-hitch-pin-clip-for-6450-pizza-merchandisers/59246281.html?utm_ also push it thru the stop to the end big loop , so you will not loose it . also aerosol lubricate all related linkage areas , these clips too . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
