The hole at the end of the drawbar on an MX is 33mm or 1.3" in diameter. Nice tractor by the way.

Thank you very much. Have searched for two days trying to find answer. And you gave it to me in few minute.

While we are on the topic of drawbars, are shorter drawbars available? My L6060 (class II) drawbar interferes with the PTO shaft on the 3 pt sand spreader. The drawbar is needed to hold the front snowblower subframe in place.

Hmm, the drawbar for my other orange tractor has 2 holes, so it's 'adjustable'. Maybe just drill a hole where you want it to be? If you don't have the correct drill bit, take to a 'machine shop' that can do it ?

I’m not sure I understand your trouble…Mine slides in for when not in use but i can remove completely…maybe just pull it out completely when it’s in the way. I would not cut it down…even though that’s a way to get a shorter one.

Thanks Grumpy. I'm not at the hill right now so I can't send pics so I'll try my best to describe issue. The draw bar has to be slid forward to lock the rear of the snowblower subframe in place. It only goes so far into the subframe before it hits the transmission. The other side of the drawbar extends out under the PTO shaft for the 3 point sander. If I keep the sander elevated and the shaft horizontal, no issue. But if I lower the sander the drawbar impinges he bottom of the PTO shaft. Not a problem if sander remains raised but with hydraulic drift when it's parked or when I have forgotten and try to lower the sander, trouble. So a shorter drawbar would allow me to keep subframe in place in the front and not hit the PTO shaft in the rear. I could also pull the PTO shaft each time but we don't get along well and it's always a battle for me to attach/detach without alot of effort, huffing/puffing, and cussing <grin>. I could fabricate one. This could be the excuse I need to convince the boss (wife) that we need a plasma cutter.
