Where to buy a swinging drawbar?

[whirly]

Have you thought of using a standard straight drawbar between your lift arms?

A lot cheaper and they are quite versatile:tractor:.

I have a Kubota drawbar I could part with, but not sure if that is the one you are looking for. It is a straight piece of steel and it measures 26.5"x2"x1.25". There are 7 or 8 holes in it. If this is what you are looking for send me a PM. It is not the kind that attaches to the 3pt hitch but the one that mounts under the transmission/3pt hitch housing. I believe it is used on the GL models but not sure

Can these be used with pto-driven implements? I considered one of these, but didn't think it would work with a pto implement.

Like towing a hay baler? Yes, but only if you ensure the lower lift arm distance from the ground remains well below the level of the PTO shaft. But that can be problematic in hilly terrain. I personally would feel more comfortable with the swinging drawbar like you originally proposed.

I've never owned a tractor without one. How'd yours end up missing?

That's what I was thinking - glad to hear you agree.

How did it end up missing? We bought it used, so maybe the previous owner "borrowed" it Not sure, but I do wish I had it now!
