K80 ball hitch

[Durt Burd]

Can you not just use an insert into the pick up hitch in place of the usual hook? All seems a bit daft expensive for what it all is.

Not sure what type of drawbar the poster has on his 8770, but I think Scharmuller do a longer drawbar insert which may suit.

We have a Dromone ball on the T7.245

You will need a pick up hitch on the tractor for it to work. The tractor end fitting is tailored for the particular model of pick up hitch.

The one I've been quoted for fits in the original slot the drawbar was in, I haven't checked the length yet but if they are prone to breaking I can't see much advantage. Our ground is typical mid Devon if your not going up or down your between the two, which is where the damage gets done.

Sorry wrote that this morning before all the other replies, it's the pitching that bothers me a bit. The rolling is taken care of by the swivel, think tis a choice between a reasonable bit of slop on a draw bar pin or a ball.
It's a torro I'm thinking of, I'll measure up the draw bar on the tractor tomorrow if I get chance, in a ideal world the shcarmuller bar would be shorter, I'd like the pivot closer to the tractor really, it's a lump when it's full.
