It's Super and it Splits...

[Jules083]

Here are some pics of what I came up with for a hitch. I still want to put a handle up towards the hitch. No it's not for highway use. But for now I only need a tow from the shop to the woodpile, or about 500 feet with a slight hill in a gravel drive. I'm thinking for future mods I would tie the front leg to the rear leg/axle stand with some small angle iron for bracing. Not sure about axle widening as I haven't tried this out yet. Hopefully I can go slow enough I won't find out the hard way that I need to widen the axle.

Looks good man. Nice shop, looks like a good set-up in there.

I'm thinking I need to tie the front leg to the rear in mine also. It doesn't seem to flex much but I'm sure it does.

When I rolled mine it wasn't about speed, but more that one wheel dropped into a small hole or rut. If it's smooth and not too steep you should be fine. On a plus not it's pretty easy to pick back up, and the fiberglass 'hood' is strong enough to not self destruct.

trailer coupler

Since this splitter didn't come with a trailer coupler I knew I'd be modifying and adding one. What I came up with was adding a piece of receiver tube (same as pick up truck receiver hitch) at 96* angle and braced it to an existing hole in the table. The 4 foot tongue is detachable and in place only when towing. I don't have to go far and this does the trick getting to my neighbour's house. Here's a few pics to show it better.

How many inches is it from top of your bottom plate on splitter to bottom of your receiver tube

I'll go out and measure it for you tonight.
