Pull Hitch Manually Tows Trailer HITCHES Hitches 28-6-33 When Ken Booth, of Wingdale, N.Y., wanted to manually pull his lawn trailer around the yard, he made a 2-wheel hitch that attaches to the trailer's draw bar.
Booth took the handle bar from an old push mower and attached it using 3/8-in. bolts to a 20 by 2 in.-piece of flat iron fastened to angle iron brackets bolted to the bar. The brackets match the width of the handles.
He then attached wheels to 5/8-in. rods welded to the bottom of the bar. The draw bar hooks to a pin welded to the top of the bar.
The handle bar swings back and forth so you can rest it back on the top of the trailer when not in use.
"The trailer unhooks quickly from the hitch when needed for normal use," says Booth.
