I have two different trailer receivers on the various trailers around here. One is the typical automotive 2" ball hitch and the other is the common garden trailer type. That means that I have to install or remove the ball from the rear hitch on the 4 wheel tractors depending on which trailer I need to move. Has anyone come up with an elegant way of dealing with this issue? I was thinking about a 2" ball hitch adapter but was considering various designs.

Code:

                              [U]Current Inventory[/U]
   24G (Onan 24hp)    24GLX - was 16G  (Onan 24hp)   8249 - was 8129 (Onan 24hp)
        818T (Onan 18hp B48)       8163T - was 8123 (Onan CCKA) 
                              8183T (Onan B48)
   5665 w/brakes        5665        5660        Pro-8         Pro-16 w/brakes

Just for grins, I'll throw another one in the mix.
I have a class 1 stinger that I modified to fit into the main tube of a steering sulky.

I use a Hitchin' Post 3 way hitch.

They run between $15 used to $30 new without the ball. So far it has been sturdy enough and I have no complaints.

That's pretty cool!
