Hello,

I would like to add a trailer hitch to my Kubota G1900 lawn tractor to tow a small garden trailer. I searched on the internet for some pictures but without conclusive results.

The tractor has a plate mounted to the bottom of the differential and I have seen people simply mounting a ball for towing there. I do not think this would be the correct way, I think the force should go into the frame. I found a picture where there was a different type of hatch mounted on an frame (for grass collector?).

All tractors seem to have this plate, so my questions are:
1. what is the purpose of this plate below the differential?
2. how did a trailer hitch as supplied by Kubota look like?
3. at what height should it be mounted?

Any hints, thoughts, suggestions, observations, pictures welcome!

Kind regards,
Hugo
