buickanddeere said: (quoted from post at 14:50:09 03/11/11) Heavy draft load such as ploughing is done with
semi-mount equipment. So no place for it and no
advantage.
Anything with a pto and a drawbar is not feasible.
Three point hitch drawbars are wobbling widow
makers allowing towed loads such as wagons sway.
These draft transfer hitches have also assisted
equipment operators to kill themselves with flip
overs.
Extra cost.
Time and labour to remove and re-install.
Any one of those reasons are enough for manufacturers to scrap the weight transfer
hitch.M4WD works much better.
buickanddeeere:
I was aware of some of the obvious "do not" actions for such a contraption. Aware of semi mount plows and pto--since pto is 90% rolling load and needs perfect geometry. Some other things you mentioned, I was wondering about, and a couple I forgot to consider (hassle to R&R and cost). Appreciate the comments.
