Multi Hitch

[thewoodlands]

Looking for something with a ball mount and a draw pin, the splitter and one wagon use a 1 7/8 ball and the other wagon uses a draw pin any better setups than this?

not a bad set up on that one Zap, but the price made me choke.

I hate the price also but I just found this which I like better.

Any way to convert the draw pin wagon to a ball mount? I personally hate the way draw pin and pintle type couplings bang around and such. I do like the increased articulation of those couplings however in off road situations.

Model 7300 without the dump, I didn't think so but I'll take another look.

Atv hitch

There are a couple of good ones on this page. The Kolpin is also good.

could you just take a piece of flat stock with a hole big enough for the ball at one end and a hole for a pin at the other end. then you take the ball off of the hitch and bolt it back on through the flat stock. sorry if that doesn't make any sense. i'm medicated and not feeling well, lol.

Why can't ya remove the ball and use the same hole for the pin?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Kenny, you certainly can but if one has to do that often it just makes sense to have a dual mode for hookup. Saves work and time.

 

[kenny chaos]

I welded a short lever on the nut and can spin it off almost as fast as changing modes. The lever lets me get 'er tight and loose.
Just sharing an idea, plus, I'm cheap.

kc, I'm looking for one hitch for both wagons so I don't have to change from one to another.

^the LLigetfa hitch is pretty neat. He's got a post how he put it together somewhere in here.


EDIT Oh you're looking for a receiver...got it. Sorry.

If your ok with cutting the welds on the plates on the tongue you could buy this
http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Coupler/Master20Lock/2833AT.html and mount it to the 2" channel. I did that on an old hay wagon to use to move lumber around.

zap,
I bought a cheap ball coupler at Harbor Frieght...similar to the one posted above. I purchased one that's 3" wide and mounted it right to the tounge of my garden cart. No more pin hitch.

That's what I would do. The ball hitch is much easier to deal with and much less clunky.

I just have 3 drawbar setups carried in the back of the suv: One 2 inch for 99% of use, one homemade from 2x2 sqaure tubing with a 1-7/8 ball welded on, and one with no ball, just the flat for a farm trailer pin. Three separate drawbars for the 2 inch receiver.

the Kolpin doesn't look good to me and probably isn't road legal, although I don't think you care about that: the safety chain attachments are supposed to be on the vehicle side of the pin for the drawbar to receiver. Otherwise losing the pin loses the trailer.

Kevin J, I'll stick with what I have until we find something better.
