Short vertical draw bar

[Beebad]

Does anyone know the dimensions of the bar that fits in here and takes a 2” ball? I have an L-3560. I thought just getting a cross bar for the three-point would allow me to adjust height.

You don't want a draw bar that long it will just bend / break things.

You want something like this:

I don't know the answer to your question but those things that Wolfman mentioned can be made very cheaply if you already have a crossbar laying around. I made this one a while ago with scrap flat bar.

Only word of caution is that you have no down pressure and when traveling downhill the trailer can want to lift up the 3ph.

@Caden makes a good point about no down pressure and possibility of hitch rising. If your moving trailers around on a relatively flat area or uphill, not a problem. Going downhill, keep the hitch below the centerline of the axle and run a chain from the top of the triangle to that socket you pointed at with the arrow in your pic.

I have a chain attached to the head of a toplink pin for that purpose. If I’m just shuffling trailers around the shop areas, I don’t use it. If I’m taking the off-road trailer out to the woods, I chain the toplink on the trailer mover triangle to a shackle on the tractor drawbar. As long as you keep the trailer hitch below the centerline of the rear axle, there’s never much tension on the chain.

Agreed

You might be looking for this drawbar? I looked at the L3560DT model but there were others to look at so not sure they all use the same drawbar. There is a serial number break thus two part numbers!

I LIKE THAT. ADDS VERSATILITY TO THE 3P HITCH.

THE one I misplaced was about 13" x 3 x1 had I think 4 holes. Dunno where it is. I used it to pull the wood chipper, small brush trailer, Welding cart. and Wood splitter.

couldnt I just put that cross bar on a 3point speed hitch? I have 2 speed hitches ( easy hitch?) in the shop it would be sooo groovy it it had a receiver.

Yeah I guess theoretically you could, if you tow pin on type trailers. But with a ball it will want to flip, spin, and rotate on you without the A frame part.

If you already have the three point toolbar just add this:

hey that is neat! I have been weighing options, looking for the cat1 bar or the 13" piece and went with the 3-point hitch from Amazon. It will be here on Monday since it isnt a holiday. THANKS!!!!!

I got this from Vevor for half the price. God, Sorry. I have ordered so many things in the last few days….i got this on Amazon for half the price. What is nice about this is the ability to raise and lower the tongue. Also, it sticks out further so I can see. What i do not like is the play. The pins are a little long and the hydraulics move a little from side to side. i think i will make a bushing to clean things up a bit.
