Not really sure what you’re trying to highlight here. The picture shows a drawbar pin in a hole designed for a puh hook.
Normally, if the user wishes to do this to set the trailer further back for a better turning lock, then you would fit a bush to take up the slap


The front of the trailer ring may be worn, or the pin bent making it look worn. its hard to tell in the picture

Bg Junior is in Canada, drawbar only over there.
only thing I use the drawbar for is the drill, it turns tighter and I think it’s better for the sat nav, nothing proved just a feel having tried both.

Pick up hitches are rare across most of the world except UK and Ireland. They have been catching on in Europe though.
Used to be the case all tractors going for export the PUH was chucked in the bin

The silage contractor has his trailers on ball hitch’s but that the only thing I have seen with them only
Up until this year I only had one tractor and no trucks so seed trailer, seeder and sprayer where getting swapped between daily at seeding. Ball hitch and hydraulic jacks on the gear made swap over very quick and easy. No fighting with pins.

been using them for 6 years and will never go back. No slop in the hitch, virtually no wear and makes it hard for people to steal stuff

thats ok til they catch fire and you can't drop it off :bag:
On the McHale the parking stand is under the drawbar held in with one pin. be as quick to jump out and drop that down as it would to wrestle with the drawbar pin.

And the drawbar pin would inevitably have a niut and bolt thru it or a bag wrapped round anyway so the lynch pin didn’t get pushed out by the crop so my way be faster
