I though a B7800 came with a draw bar?
I put a 2" ball in my stock draw bar, 500# draw bar weight and 3000# trailer weight. Thats on a B2710 basicaly the same tractor.

I think shine is talking about the stock drawbar that comes with any tractor I have ever seen. Nothing to do with the 3PTH. It is safe and simple. K.I.S.S. is best.

Shine is correct
This drawbar is stock on the B7800.
Drawbar is fully extended in these two pictures.
Please excuse the snowblower is still somewhat attached.
I disconnected one end of the the power take off drive shaft
for picture purposes.

I purchased a Tractor Draw Bar Stabilizer for Category 1 Tractor from Northern Tool. It was on special for $59.99 and a ATV Hitch from Harbor Freight for $15.99. I already had the draw bar and 2" ball. I like the fact that it pulls everything from the center. I looked at a Handi Hitch but did not like the off center ball and clevis. I had to take a side grinder and cut off part of the hook base to get it to slide all the way into the receiver. I have used it to move my 21' bass boat with no problem. I tighten the links to keep it from swaying. All I have to do is back up lift the hitch and take off. I pull all my trailers, ball and pin and use the hook and a strap to pull brush. All I have to do is rotate the hitch for everything. It just stays on the tractor.

Here's one I made.



The "A" lifts out of the bar allowing the bar to be turned over - so I can have a ball or pin.

The "A" does limit turning angle a little, I should have, as originally planned, drilled two holes out further and made a wider "A". (thought I had enough angle)
