Thanks for posing this video. I've got a similar back on my Craftsman, and for the life of me I was trying to figure out how to get behind there to secure the bolts. Pull the battery! Doh! Sometimes the obvious answers are right in front of us. Thanks man!!
The reason that your mower tried to do a wheelie pulling the large trailer is that you have the ball hitch way up above the height of the axle which becomes a pivot point.
I prefer the 2in receiver from BigToolRack over this style hitch. I have it on my John Deere X350. I do plan on getting those tires for my tractor and a second pair of rims. im still on the fence about Rib tires for the front.
I know this is an old video but do you know how much weight the bronco pulled with the big trailer all together. Im trying to see how much i can hook up to mine without tearing up its transmission. Like the video aswell
I'm not sure of the total weight, but it is a homemade 6'x12' trailer with steel box frame and wood floors, plus the stuff loaded on it. I also drove very slowly while pulling on almost flat ground as not to overstress the tranny.
awsome idea no dis to you sir dont pull anything to heavy you will shear the flywheel key in half i worked for a chrysler dealership and they were pulling dodge one tone dullys and sheared the key in half but ya you got a good idea
Really? The friction from a single rubber belt will bite the pulleys enough to shear a quarter inch aluminum pin? Damn. And here mine goes a total of a wopping 3mph max and struggles to go up bigger hills..
Yea lawn tractors i dont think have a pull limit or capacity. They just say not to do it.. cuz youll flip over backwards going uphill with a load from the weight distribution of those things.. now you get those weighted rear hubs, solid rubber fronts with a 200 lb weight bolted to the front bumper/ hood, weld the crappy hydrostatic spider gears, get some tire chains for rear with sme good meats like you had and run a foot gas petal to give it the beans when starting a pull and shell pull like a fat guy on a diet at an ice cream buffet..

he could fill the front tires with liquid ballast I use RV antifreeze
That is a very cool kit.
I have the same kit and I found a receiver hitch on the same jungle site for the front so I can park a trailer with ease.
I put the same hitch on mine and my front end was to a little light too!

I'm not sure improving the front tires would help much, but I've never tried it
@@TheLittleWoodHouse update: I got the tires and rims. Looks great. Can't wait to try them out.
Where did you get the extension kit
?

Yea I'll keep my mower transmission but it'd be good for a garden tractor

People have been killed by hitching too high above the rear axle ,stupid thing to do.
