That’s including 11.99 shipping.  Order about 30 of them, and you’ll save a ton of money 

No, that would only be $ 359.70, not nearly a ton unless they were lead slugs.  He would need to save $ 3,200 in pennies to save a ton.

Most of us add a receiver hitch to the rear bolted to the top of the axle and braced down to the WH hitch. Either bought or home made. I don't have a weight bracket for mine, but do have pulverize that adds weight.   Guess about 80 #..

As you can see there are other mods going on here. winch for rear lift. raised fender seat bracket and gas tank. This receiver hitch is braced off the top of the transmission.

The trick to using the sleeve hitch with the receiver hitch is it has to be modified also. Move the lift lever to the out side.

The reason for the home made sleeve hitch I built the pulverizer hitch too short. The tractor is raised with 25" tires rear and 16" tires on 6" spindles.

Is that black sleeve hitch homemade? Is that workable to were i could put a 2” square box on one if I made one and then hook up some attachments?

Yes the black hitch is home made it's made out of 1/2"  x 2" steel. If you have equipment wipth a 2" hitch it would work well.

 I just added a couple of 3/4" collars to get that width.
