Hello,
I had an idea to mount a receiver socket to my draw bar so I can attach things like the receiver carrier shown in the picutre. The carrier is rated for 200lb but I would like to know the allowable load on the drawbar since the carrier is further out. Here is a link to the mockup I have so far. The receiver tube is about 4 feet long but was the same price as a piece 18" long.

I've used one on a lo-boy, to transport firewood. i used 4 banana boxes, that fit in the carrier, filled with wood,with no issues.

2 wheeled trailer will give you more hauling weight and volume capacity.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Allowable loads on drawbar
Hello,
I plan to use the carrier to haul coolers etc. when I go to tractor shows. Sooner or later someone will want a quick ride in the carrier and I want to make sure I don't overload the drawbar. I've got a small trailer I'm cleaning up for hauling as well. The main nice point of the receiver hitch is that I can swap stuff around quickly - plus I'm looking for a welding project.

Re: Allowable loads on drawbar
A couple hundred pounds won't be any issue, just don't go nuts. I haul fire wood, tools and deer with mine. It's handy.

That's a good idea! Easy to back up too!

I have a trailer and I've used the basket to move firewood as well.
While the trailer definitely holds more it's a pain to back up to the wood cradle at the house so I prefer the cubs basket or my A's carryall.

Re: Allowable loads on drawbar
Does the carrier rock any or does the reciever hitch hold the carrier pretty steady? This is the same type of set-up used for Jeeps, isn't it?

Re: Allowable loads on drawbar
Nicely done. If someone wanted it more stable, they could use two receivers, and two support tubes under the platform. I did that years and years ago when a customer wanted a motorcycle carrier mounted crossways at the rear of his motor home.

Hello
The carrier does rock but I did not have the pin in it at the time. I wanted to get it done because in taking the Cub to Tractors on the Track at the Atlanta Motorsport Park this Saturday.
