What kind of muffler do you have on that Broadmoor???

I tow with a smaller bar which has a ball hitch in it. I only try to lift the tractor a few inches off the ground. No problem with the front wheels of the towing tractor that way. Key thing is to keep it balanced so the wheels don't hit the ground.

i can adjust my chain, and i usauly tow them lower. but if they are light ones like the broadmoore i try and keep them high due to some rough terrain.. this setup can be dangerous if the tractor on the hook catches a tree or something. the landlord will stand straight up on ya. i need to fab up a small version of a car dolly to tow theese things around. the tractors seem to be getting heavyier to push-pull & shove around as i get older.

How does it sound? or is that the reason your towing it? :D:D

Is that a bicycle or motorcycle fork you're using as a towing package? If so, that's a clever use...

they are front shock/forks out of a older honda spree. they fit perfectly in the lift hitch.
