Brinly hitch

[gt14rider 942]

Hi everyone,  I have a question about a sleeve hitch,  I have a picture of an brinly hitch adapter.  Would like to know if this adapter and a sleeve  hitch will support the weight of a york rake . It weighs  180 pounds.   The hitch is on a 856. 

                                                          Thanks

It would work but it’s gona be pretty light in the front end I would think

Chiming in to hear others opinions. 

 

I would believe it would do just fine providing that the rake is as close to the tractor as possible. The farther behind the tractor, the more stress there will be on the hitch.

Might need a front weight.

That tractors name is Christen.  She tried to hert me , did a wheelie up a hill and rolled over on me, 3weeks in the hospital.  Week later tried to buck the mrs, did a wheelie though the garden,  mowed a row green beans.  So I added some weight,  can add or remove the weights

Thanks for the reply,  have to check the scrap pile,  make a short bar adapter and check the cable is good. Cleaning up the york rake and I think Christen will have a new job.
