590 pickup hitch draw bar

[76masseyman]

No you won't, the hook is the main part ,,you only need a clevis that fits over it with a pin

And if I remember, remove the clamp that sits over the hook ?
Would @masseybreaker have a clevis laid about ?

Too long ago for me to remember .

Thankyou so much for all your help really appreciate it.

We had one of these on the 390T. The clamp over the hook was only used when the hook was pulled out, such as when pulling an old 3 ton trailer. When the hook was in it pulled up to the hitch housing.

Yes, that was it. I remember now that the hook had two positions.

I fail to see the problem. The baler will, by the sound of it, have a ring end to its drawbar while the tractor has the standard clevis drawbar. A drawbar pin will fit through the large hole of the baler no problem. There will be slack, which can mostly be taken up by an easily made spacer if required.

If the baler has itself got a clevis, which is two tongues, then one tongue on either the tractor drawbar or the baler’s drawbar should be removed. I suggest removing or cutting one off the baler side if appropriate.

If the baler or other PTO driven trailed implement has previously been used on a pickup hitch hook, especially MF short underbelly design [100 and 500 series as opposed to the extended 600 series design] then the implement’s PTO shaft might be cut too short. Common sense is paramount and if that is lacking, get a contractor.

So the tractor has a draw bar only. I bought a pickup to use with trailers so I dont have to jack stuff up. The baler needs a draw bar, no ring on it for a puh. All sorted now thanks to the input from everyone

What’s “harsh” about it. Those are the facts and some health and safety advice to someone who doesn’t sound to be well versed in how this stuff works. Not everyone is and I wouldn’t expect everyone to be.
Got it sorted now though, apparently.

Has anybody got any pictures of the lever that releases the pickup hitch in order to lower it down? Mine hasn't got any lever or anything to release the spring loaded clamps that hold the hitch up. Thank you.

Not my photo. Taken from google. But that’s the lever

QUALITY TRACTOR PARTS.

That's the 600 series ,the 500 drawbar won't fit it.

Any one got a hook tha5 fits the hitch ,in the link ,afterbone to fit into the new irrigator bar i am making , to make to easier to pick them up

 

[Cowabunga]

It is a dreadfully long stretch to use it, yet stretching back to release it doesn’t help with hook visibility at all.
Personally I would try and find a 600 series lever that extends forward over the axle and enters the cab via a rope with a T handle. It would need a bit of work with an angle grinder or [better] removal of the shield seen behind the arrow in the picture, and a hole drilled in the cab floor beside the seat. Check that the lift control quadrants aren’t in the way before committing to this, because it is only an idea I’ve had for years but never seen it done to a 500 series.

That is perfect thank you.

You do realise where the pickup hook goes there are 2 pins that hold it from moving sideways... move them over a notch or 2 & your drawbar will fit...

Horn&corn has correct drawbar for mf590. See picture below for pin holes that require to be put so width of drawbar will fit. Hope this helps
