Did your 2310 come with a drawbar? I dont have one. Does anyone know how much they are? Sorry for the ignorance.

A drawbar like on a regular tractor? No. it does have a plate with a hole in it for pulling. I have a hitch ball in mine.

There is a trailer hitch in the rear on the bottom, not really a drawbar that you would usually see, but there is a hitch.

I will look closer, thanks.

My neighbor just bought a 2310 a couple of months ago and it did not come with a drawbar. They cost under $30.00 normally. Dyer, retired

Do you mean a drawbar - as in mounts on the 3pth arms and has about 10 holes? If so, I got one at the JD store for about $25. Also think TSC has them around same price.

Unless you have a neighbor whose avatar shows a Kubota blowing snow. In those cases, you might be able to get one for less.

%^&$!! dealers! A drawbar for the 3-point hitch should have come with the tractor. It is a $25 item. Cheap &*^%!! dealers.

To do it right, I added a stabilizer for moving my travel trailer. Something like this: Bad River 3-Point Hitch to 2" Receiver Adapter Not sure if that is the one I have - I no longer have the receipt - but it does have a 3000# tongue weight limit label on it (more than my little tractor could ever deal with anyway).

Otherwise the drawbar can rotate on the arms, making use of a trailer ball impossible.

As it uses a standard drawbar (bolted to same) I also have a heavy clevis and chain pinned to it. Very handy.

There is no reason why something like that should come with the tractor. That is an accessory that could be thrown in as a part of a deal, $25-$30 shouldn't be a deal breaker anyway. A drawbar like that is probably something most dealers carry, but it is not standard equipment on any tractors that I've ever seen sitting on dealer's lot.

If you're thinking about using a drawbar mounted between the two lift arms, be very careful. The stabilizer mentioned will keep it from spinning in the lift arm pivots, but always remember that the lift arms are designed to lift up, not to hold anything down. So if you hitch a trailer to your lift arm drawbar, and the load on the trailer is at the rear, it's going to lift the tongue of the trailer unexpectedly.
