Nice job - looks plenty strong for what a Kubota can pull. I built one as well, but used a Class II instead of class III/IV receiver (pics on another thread). Yours looks like a simpler, more elegant design. I could have used a drawbar as the basis for mine, but the drawbar cost alone was more than the rest of the materials I used to build mine.
Isn't using the 3pt to tilt the trailer nice for unloading?

Great looking hitch! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
I've been running ideas for 3PH through my head for a while. First I have to practice more welding and thankfully handy has the patience to guide me through it.

Thanks Guys! Won't be using it for anything to heavy other than pulling a D-9 out of the muck. (Right)

Hey jb, do you have any measurements on that hitch, or was it play by ear?

Skeets: Bought the drawbar at TSC I think for around $19 0r 20 bucks, the rest I had around. Kind of a slap together at the last min. Could get them if you wish?
