Does anybody know if the drawbar can be mounted on L47 while the BH is still attached?

Use-case: i have dozens of logs that I need to haul on my log wagon and then tow. Most of them are small enough to load easily with tongs chained to the BH bucket.

Thanks to this forum I now know why pulling the trailer from the BH would be very bad idea (thanks friends!). But, if the drawbar option will fit beneath the BH that would be great. Since my wagon has axles on both ends tongue weight isn’t a concern. This would be far easier than having to drop the BH every time I want to toe.

on my L3301 w/ BH77 BH yes the draw bar can be mounted when the backhoe is on.

BUT bottom of BH is low and would be in way of using the draw bar so draw bar is not usable.
