    For attaching horse drawn implements to a tractor. I think.

    One of the handiest things around a farm. I use mine to stop the arms swinging, to life the concrete barrel weight, to tie things to when pulling. As handy as a bit of baling twine.

    We have a hitch similar for 135 and used to use the 9 hole bar to raise the drawbar to correct level, prop with wooden blocks then before reversing in to drop pin.

    They were essentially a pick up hitch on tractors without a pick up hitch.
    All the bog men around here used them on 35's, 35X's, and 135's. They'd drop an empty trailer on a bit of timber and it'd sink a bit with the load of turf. Pick her up then on the 9 hole bar.

    Still wouldn't go to the bog without it. Even last year trailer pushed down a 4" block and needed to rise it!

    yes remember using it here for some old horse drawn implements,
    most recently used was the horse drawn potato digger,
    but handy also for pulling or dragging stuff with rope or sling also,
    ive seen some with a ball for trailer on also
