[QUOTE="2Bigfoots, post: 1698972, member: 39516"] I am curious if anyone can weigh in on a project I’ve been contemplating. I have been thinking of making a rack that mounts on to my 3 point hitch similar to a quick hitch, that has a fifth wheel hitch on it to receive a kingpin. My thought is that I can back up to the trailer, click it in, lift the 3 point and drive away, thus having the ability to drop it off to load bales without my truck and/or another person. In theory I think it should work but was curious if bouncing down the road would prematurely cause any damage to seals and such? Or anything else for that matter. I’ve talked to my local John Deere guys and they said they have no clue and wouldn’t give me an answer either way. The tractor is a JD 7400 and the trailer is a 32 foot triple axle. Loaded up I can’t see the tongue weight being anywhere near the 3pt lift limits. I’ve googled it and can’t seem to find anyone that’s done it with the exception of one to be used in a lot for moving trailers. Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks [/QUOTE]
