Although I'm not sure, your lawn tractor should be capable of pulling anything you want.
Although I'm not sure if it is powerful enough for yard trailers, etc. *br>I'm joining a few pictures of how it is installed on my John Derek X729 to show how it's done. In order to mount it, I added angle brackets. This reduced the height of the ladder so it could be mounted without bending it, which would have been an extra step.

The item was installed on my 1996 Craftsman Lawn Tractor with a 15 inch blade. This is the fifth hour. To move two trailers and mow the lawn, the engine must move two trailers. With the help of pipe wrenches, I bent the bracket ends to the proper mating angle. An easy way to accomplish this operation would have been with a bench vise. Moving the trailers in low gear is no problem for me. Grass catcher operation is compromised by less load on the engine. It does, however, cause significantly less wear on the engine than if the engine had excessive hours. As an alternative to the OEM fasteners on the tractor, I'm planning to replace them with GR 5 stainless and mount them in a stud configuration with lock washers and wing nuts to facilitate easy removal of the hitch and reinstalling of the grass catcher.
My skill set in the tool box is pretty good, so I know my way around a tool box In less than 15 minutes, I was able to assemble the hutch out of the box, mount it, and have it ready to use. In addition to gathering the right tools and finding a drill bit sharp enough to punch a hole through the lawn tractor's sheet metal, the install took about two hours. The hitch gives me the ability to draw around a 6 foot by 10 foot utility trailer when I'm cleaning up the yard and mowing the lawn. My hitch has not caused me any problems and the weight of it isn't too much. I had an exact replica of the nut included in the boot bin so I didn't have to make a trip to the hardware store for one of the nuts used to secure the main hitch shaft to the supports. There might be an issue with the washers that are provided to secure the supports to the back of the mower, especially if they are not high In addition to obtaining some bar stock and reinforcement bolts, I will reinforce the attachment with more bar stock. In my opinion, I would buy it again if I ever needed one, as it is much cheaper than manufacturing one.
There is never a need without a solution here, which you can always count on. Well, there's no turning back now. A red trailer is equal to one John Deere plus a lawn mower. It took me a bit of banging out the ends to get it to It is hard work, but well worth it. The painting is very well done. The hammering process does not cause paint to be lost. Once you have the Base page up and running. . It's a smooth sailing trip. The Arms of two different countries. If you have a riding lawn mower, this will depend on what you have. On Amazon, I have seen cheaper versions. Amongst the overall top ratings, this one came out on top. A day earlier than expected, it was delivered.
Overall, my 30 minute install went very smoothly and the pictures speak for themselves. It takes only one word to explain what I need to say. A happy day!.
Good packaging and quick delivery of the item. Grade 8 hardware was swapped out for grade 7 hardware since it was not functioning well. you're looking for a plug-and-play environment, this isn't the one. Drilled holes in tractor so that brackets could be bolted on. Stracts had to be bent to fit tractor and support brackets had to be bent to match tractor. It's no big deal, but if you're not a DIYer you should buy manufacturer-specific parts. This attachment works great on my Cub 1515 for moving trailers up from the yard when the roads are too flooded to get my.
I was able to install this on my Troybilt Wheel Horse lawn tractor very quickly. There are four boat trailers and one small utility trailer in my fleet. I get a real kick out of moving these around in the back and side yards with my pick up. lawn tractor's lawn attachments work great, and I can make tighter turns and be more precise in moving trailers with the hitch attachment.
Worked great on Troy Bilt Bronco 42"
Took a little time to get it on properly, and a little bending, but it looks good and provides adequate weight capacity.
The platform we added for the supports worked perfectly on the X728 John Deere lawn tractor. It's not designed for this, however, but by adding some angle brackets the whole thing works. Nicely made and very I cannot believe how happy my poor back is!.
Even though the device will work, the hardware it comes with is substandard. There was no star because there was a hardware store to go to.
