    the drawbar cracked on me today. I wanted to move a bale trailer which had 12 hay bales up on it. as I moved forward it snapped where the bend was. should the drawbar be able for that weight? I reckon 8-9 tonnes at most.
    anyway now I must buy a new one. agriline have a new one at €90+vat and delivery or would they be light. don't want it cracking again some day on the road. the only real drawbar work it does is pull a 15ft single axle trailer at silage time for myself.

    It probably should have. Get a straight hitch instead. The same one that is in the 7000 or 56, 66 and 76 will fit.
