I welded a pintle ball to the back plate of the Massey MF18 box that lives on the back of my old L2850. Works great for moving horse trailer and 20ft two axle trailer around property.
No pic handy, but can grab one if interested.
Heck yeah! Post a photo or ten! I'm certainly interested in seeing what you did. (y)

Yes the draw bar is good for hauling,,, however,, remember what ever you are pulling you have to stop, and a load can and will push you because you only have 2 wheel breaking,,,

^^ True That ^^

I put a tote on a trailer once and used it for watering trees. Every time the water would slosh when I stopped it would inch the tractor forward.

Unless it is a braked trailer. I have a car trailer with overrun brakes.
