[QUOTE="4440, post: 7425508, member: 4871"] Back many years ago when we had a trailed forager. We would drop trailer for the harvester to fill. On the longer haulswe would have a man come and help out with his Power Major. His tractor did not have a pick up hitch so he made his into one. He removed the draw bar made a plate the mirror the bottom plate. He bolted it above the bottom plate with something like 3" spacers and long bolts. He then removed the drop arms and lift arms, replaced the drop arms with chains that changed down to the puh. He welded long bolts to the bottom of the chains. The bolts went thought the bottom plate hole. He could use this arrangement to pick and drop the hitch. The hitch was locked up by the two pins either side of the hitch. The set up worked well for many years pulling our 8 ton trailers. I hope I have made what he did clear. [/QUOTE]
