J.I.Case built and marked a 3pt. drawbar for Eagle Hitch tractors. It is much safer for skidding logs on a smaller tractor, and can easily be fabed with common 3pt. drawbars and some scrap steel. The butt of a log can be some what lifted for easier pulling and if you study the geometry of the hitch, you see that the harder the log pulls, the more forward pressure is applied to the top link , and thus forcing the front of the tractor down rather than pulling it up further to a point of a backwards flip. It is not a fool proof design, as you are still pulling from behind the rear axle fulcrum point. It does however allow more steering control since the choker chain is coupled much closer to the rear axle than a hook on a back blade would be. Personally I use a 3pt. skidding arch that I built for my Kubota B2150. If a log catches and does raise the front, the blade on the arch digs in, rear tires loose traction and prevents the front from rising any further. The Kubota also has a ROPS. Loren
