Drawbar versus cable

Recommended Posts

Ok guys, here's one for you to ponder.

What could take more weight on it? The standard drawbar or the lift cable?

I have made a hitch that can either sit on the drawbar or be held by the lift cable. There will probably be about 200 lbs applied to each, but I was curious as to which would fail first. I've stood on the drawbar (180+ lbs) but I haven't stood on a slot hitch or clevis hitch. Maybe I should try.

What do ya think?

The drawbar will handle far more weight than the lift cable.
