Ball Hitch on bottom of BX24?

cwilliams2000 · May 24, 2011

I noticed without my BH on that there is a hole on the bottom which seems to fit a ball for a trailer just right. Is this OK to do? I haven't tried to put my BH back on but am concerned it will interfere?

Won't interfere with the BH. I have one on mine with no problems.

Cool thank you, its a little tricky to pull a larger trailer to move around the yard since it is very low,but its helpful to have it there when I am in "lawnmower" mode and can still get this chore done. thank you!

Quick-On Receiver Hitch

I took a bumper receiver hitch from harbor freight and drilled a few extra holes in it to make it fit.

And I use a Riser Hitch to get my trailers level.

Here are a few pics of my weight bucket project w/ receiver hitch. I don't have a BH, but if you run much without your BH this could work nicely.

I had that same HB hitch welded to my 3PH draw bar so I could move my trailer around as well. The draw bar hitch was originally set up to use with my Cyclone Rake, but now it does double duty. :thumbsup: This is the best pic I have of the set up, but you can see the square receiver hitch on the bottom of the 3PH draw bar. Being able to raise and lower the trailer hitch makes hooking up very easy.

Ditto on the receiver bolted to the bottom. Clears backhoe and 3pt hitch. Had to leave extended quite a bit to keep the males from hitting the through bolts.

(Disregard the tape measure and the filth...was putting on the wheel spacers in a hurry).

Very nice. Great Idea.
