Buzz 502 #1 Posted May 5, 2017 I want to be able to tow my landscape trailer around the yard. What do you guys use to attach a ball to the rear of your 520s? I have a bar that slides in the sleeve hitch of my 856 but this is the setup my 520 has. The existing hitch is too low to the ground for what I need. Thanks.

Shynon 7,475 #2 Posted May 5, 2017 Just was out to see @wheelhorseman1000 and he has a sweet looking hitch setup, that is very versatile all painted up and ready to go. I think this will be a must have item. Another well built, custom product for our Wheel Horses. Great job Lowell you are the master fabricator. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,032 #8 Posted May 6, 2017 Wow, great upgrade on a proven hitch design. I am fortunate to have heavy duty hitches on two 520's and 2 lifting hitches that will also allow for the use of rear attachments on two others. You have combined the best of both worlds. Really a necessity for those with only one Wheel Horse. You really do come up with some great products. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 7,046 #9 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I don't build them to sell, but I built a couple for my self. This mount to the axle housing and the top of the transmission. This one mounts like "The Hitch Guys" with one exception I can mount the clevis hitch with it . image uploadcertificity.com The clevis hitch has been modified too.

953 nut 58,078 #10 Posted May 6, 2017 I saw this one for sale on a while ago and saved the picture for future reference. It uses the hitch pin at the rear of the transaxle and bolts to the axle housing, Take a look, not too hard to make and gets the hitch ball up where you need it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just when I think I've seen every style of rear hitch I see a really nice improvement and then something radically different! I'll be following for sure! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
