kubota g18 front towbar

[mowingjamie]

hi, this may be a stupid idea, so after your thoughts of mounting a tow bar on the front of my kubota g18 to move my 12ft ifor williams around the yard. good idea or will i just damage the mower?

Can you not mount one at the back.

 

I've got a G21 and the towbar is mounted underneath the grass chute(inside the grassbag so to speak in collecting mode)

Just a 1min job to pull the 2 pins holding the grassbag and presto grassbag off and trailer on. Think they are very similar chassis. I back it onto a kerbed area to make it easier to lift the grassbag back on.

 

I mounted a homemade snowplough to the front a few winters back but was worried about that front plate also its a bit close to those PTO belts.

was hoping to put the tow bar on the front and keep it on all the time, no need to take the collector of at all then, the front has a steel plate with 4 holes in it for weights i think so would be very easy to mount it there. but not sure if the mower is up to having the nose weight of the trailer on the front axle and enough power to then move the trailer around?

It should work, had a wee look today at this option. I would make sure you hitch, unhitch from the side away from the exhaust. Haven't worked out how more or less manoeuvrable that would be yet.
