leeave96 495 #1 Posted 17 hours ago I would like to buy or make a bracket that would hold a trailer ball and fit/pin to the clevis hitch on my Wheelhorse tractor - not unlike a Brinly plow fits up to the clevis hitch. Probably would want one with a ball and the other flat with a hole for a pin like used to pull a garden cart. Before I reinvent the wheel, is there an easy button recommendation to accomplish the above - either fab or purchase? Any sage advice is much appreciated! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaz54 89 #2 Posted 16 hours ago (edited) There are a couple of vendors that make this. 'Wheel Horse Parts and More’ has one: https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/heavy-duty-removable-receive-hitch-if-you-have-a-104659-bracket/ I’ve got these on each of my 520-H’s, but I can’t find who made them. I’ll keep looking and let you know. Is this what you are looking for? or are you looking for just the receiver 2” hitch something like this? This is from a search on eBay.

WHX?? 53,071 #3 Posted 13 hours ago You could just mount a ball on a piece of flat stock and put it in the slot hitch. Be easy enough to weld on a piece for a drawbar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 8,119 #5 Posted 1 hour ago Not a great idea to support a hitch ball with that tiny cable, if that is your goal. Also, what would keep the ball from rising if the load turns negative? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, what would keep the ball from rising if the load turns negative? Seconded. We've tried this. Can't recommend. Remember there's two kinds of weight. 1. Static (still) weight. 2. Dynamic (motion) weight. ANY movement of the towed item will cause the hitch to rise and fall quickly. A cable held hitch will support a decent amount of tongue weight.... AND... A moving dynamic weight will be potentially several times THAT amount. My recommendation: Get a stock type Wheelhorse Tab Hitch WITH your cable supported hitch. They'll work on the same rig. Put the trailer ball on the Tab hitch. @leeave96 PM me with your address. I have a pile of spare Tab hitches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
