Multipurpose trailer build
- Thread starter Xbcasey
- Start date
It's a hitch I build out of tractor 3 point hitch pins and bushings. The idea is loosely based on the max coupler, but it's quite a bit stronger and hooks up differently. I've had the first hitch I built on my other jeep trailer for a little over three years of fairly heavy use and it is still just as tight as the day I put it on. I figure that if these parts can stand up to the beating they take behind a tractor out in the fields (I'm an agricultural mechanic/fabricator) they should have no problem holding up to towing my little jeep trailer around.
Could you post a little more info on how the box bolts to the frame?
Are the nuts welded to the frame or you just slip it in.
Also, what did you do to the floor of the box to make is structurally sound, I would like to see how it pieces together being I would like to do something similar.
Thanks!

There are nuts welded into the frame and the brackets that stick down off the box bolt into those. There is no floor to the box itself, it's just walls that sit on the plywood floor of the trailer. I figured there was no sense in adding the extra weight of a floor to the box when the trailer already has one
