Welcome to the Board.

I am using a 20 inch cat-0 horizontal drawbar similar to the one shown here on my bx2230.

Thanks,
Charles P

Why would you be using a Cat 0 drawbar when it's a Cat 1 hitch??
I have a Cat 0 drawbar for an older Honda tractor and the ends are far too small for use on my BX2200
I use a Cat 1- 26" but it does bind a little when fully raised.

Thanks for your input. I called my dealer and told him I needed a drawbar... he said he had it in stock and would send it right out. Not sure of the specs, but I'll trust he knows which one will fit my tractor correctly.

I'm hoping to install the EZMover receiver hitch this weekend.

Peter,

I bought the 20" primarily because I was concerned that the 26" would bind when raised. Plus it was a bit cheaper /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I haven't had a problem attaching it to the lift arms on my bx, but I am sure that the 26" probably would be a better fit.

Thanks,

What do you guys mean by binding?

The lift system is designed so that as you raise and lower the hitch, the horizontal distance between the two lift arms increases/decreases as you raise and lower it. Binding can occur if something like a drawbar prevents the contraction.

I don't know how much of an issue this really is because I haven't had an opportunity to use any 3pt equipment other than a drawbar and carry-all.

Hope this helps.

You want a 20" cat. 1 draw bar. I got mine at the local Farm and Barn store but have also seen them at TSC. Oddly enough, they're slightly more expensive then the 26" bars.
