Works great, that is how I rake hay. In fact, I lost my regular drawbar, been so long since I used it. But: Don't get just the cross piece with holes in it. You want the full swinging drawbar that goes on your lift arms. The cross piece-only doesn't allow you to turn very short, etc. We got a couple of the 9n models, welded them up a bit & made them fit the 960, nice! You can use this drawbar to raise & lower the siderake if you have a 2-wheel. Very, very handy. But as someone said, be real careful pulling heavy loads & lifting the drawbar. Makes the tractor unstable & flip over on top of you. Not good. Also lifting the drawbar too high will bind, bend, or break the hitchpin & hitch. DO NOT PULL HEAVY WAGONS ON HILLS. There is nothing holding a 3-point down. (ok, those hitches come with some 3-point stablizers, but you won't use them but once, and they are kinda flimsy anyhow.) So, you go down a hill, the wagon pushes, & the 3-point slams upward. Makes for a REAL different ride, if you don't break something. You do want stablizer bars. But, you'll like the up & down use of the hitch so much, you won't be using the one's that go to the top link, you'll use some that keep the arms from swaying. --->Paul

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
