    Thoughts on this system for strapping tractor on trailer

    With a chain from the trailer, through a drawbar clevis, then back to the trailer, you have only one chain holding your tractor back, and it allows some side-to-side motion, too. If you used two chains, clevis to right corner and clevis to left corner of the trailer, you have the potential...

    LP Box Blade-Forward blade will not touch the ground. Impossible

    I would bet that if you disconnect and turn the box blade upside down, you can see what the problem is. Post photos. :) Bruce

    Things we wish Kubota would hear us on.

    Toolboxes. Chain boxes. Not just stuck on somewhere, but integrated into the tractor's design. Bruce

    Is the rule of thumb, "if you can reverse up the hill, you can drive up the hill"?

    Don't try mowing forwards or backwards, up or down a 60 degree hill. :) When you measure straight down from the end of a level 8ft board (about 100 inches), the inch measurement will (about) equal the grade percent. "About" is good enough since your slope is not perfectly angled anyway. Bruce

    Trailer ball mount

    The support to the center hook keeps a heavier trailer from over-flexing the bucket bottom. The ball is visible from the seat, which makes it much easier to use. A conventional ball mount in the rise position could be used. I found the fabricated one I used at a yard sale. It can be mounted...

    I have a 30ft tow strap for each vehicle, and a couple in the tractor shed. Also I use several 3/8 cables and several blocks. A BX won't overstress any of it. Bruce

    Draw bar uses if you have a 3-point or quick hitch mounted receiver?

    That odd shaped loop on the end of your chain (in post #41) is used to adjust the length. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=chain+grab+link&iax=images&ia=images Rotate it 180 degrees from the position in the photo, then it will grab a chain that goes through the loop Bruce.
