We also use the drawbar with a ball mounted to it for towing lighter trailers around. Without the ability to lock the trailer to the hitch as shown in the video, in this country I would think the government would have a fit.

I can't imagine pulling two tons (or more!) with a 1510 that weighs 3/4 ton. Two different worlds here, we are talking right past each other.
My 186D (same as a 1510D) feels spooky and not really under control pulling my watering trailer, one ton. I myself wouldn't exceed that weight.
Well maybe on pavement, at an airport cargo area or something. Never on farmland.
so with this
how do you turn? the 'tongue' of the trailer goes into the square hole I assume - so there must be a hinge somewhere else - adding a second sloppy point in the drive train - weird. Or is it a universal joint type affair?
or do you do this?
which seems pointless - as you might as well have the ball mounted on the TPH.... And the size of ball shown is a bit undersized for BIG ag trailers (they are rated at 50+ or 70+ tonnes over here now - bigger than our allowed 'semi' road haulage lorries (trucks)
The UK / european version the cone shaped pick up bit is lifted until the tip is inside a cup - preventing the ring from coming out.
Yeah - two tonnes is a bit scary with a 1510!! Its utterly flat ground, and I have the tyres (note correct spelling
) filled 90% with water (it doesnt get that cold here), and the foreloader is a bit oversized - even so - I sometimes put a wafer weight on the bucket to help with steering......
