Papa - what I would try is running a chain from one of the eyelets that you would pin the 3PH to, to you draw bar. Maybe a little shorter?

Just throwing out an idea.
......in reference to my last post, if you are talking about my add on draw bar, and not the one Kubota calls a draw bar waaaaaaaaaaaaay down there near the ground, that would work, but I already cut a piece of chain to run through my add on draw bar's D-ring and hang off the ROPS, which is a substantial piece of metal. Appreciate the idea though.

Saw your post with the ROPS/3pt limiter chain, looks like a solution. I have a BX2370 that also wears a trailer mover. It has an extension on it so I can see the trailer ball. It only drags the ground if the top link is set too long. If you fill a roller with concrete, add a bicycle kick stand and automotive style coupler.

Here is a picture of how I pinned the 3 Pt to keep it secured in one position. If you notice in the attached picture I have the right side pinned and the left side is still free. I circled both sides of the 3 Pt. I did this to hopefully better illustrate how to pin the 3 Pt so it won't lower when you use the mower. I found this in my paperback owner manual. I could not find a .pdf version that shows this method of pinning the 3 Pt in place so it won't move when using the MMM.

I did see this solution previously. I don't have easy to remove pins on my 3ph arms, they are attached with key rings for some reason, and since I am high risk, I am not going to stores unless it's for food pretty much right now, so the chains are my fix for now, and since they are so easy to install and remove, probably will never use the OEM method.
