Just bought a BX 2670 yesterday and am curious as to what's the easiest way to install at 2" receiver to it? The local Tractor Supply has a three-point receiver but it's $200...is there any way I can simply weld a short section of box to on of the TSS $40 cat 1 drawbars? Id be moving light stuff like 6x12 flatbeds and empty two horse bumper pulls. Thanks!
Best way to attach a 2" receiver?

I used this. Turn it over from how the picture shows it. Had to slightly oval 2 holes, 4 new bolts. That's all it took.

Just get this and bolt it on your draw bar.

Maybe not the cheapest, but very versatile and easy to use. I have a couple full sized trailers to constantly move around, so I found this "A" frame with the pins on Amazon. The base was the correct width for my quick hitch, although I did extend the top pin 2 1/2" to match my other implements. I can Back up to any trailer, pull the lever, lift and go. This was on sale for $59.99 free shipping
The drawbar rotates, though. I need something that holds the drawbar flat and parallel to the ground.Just get this and bolt it on your draw bar.

The drawbar on the tractor, not the three point!
But sorry that little model does not have a drawbar, so you'll need a three point model.
If you have the long and holy drawbar, it was made for a clevis hitch. To use it with a ball, you need a rotation lock, or a post or an inverted V to reach the top link.

The BX has a plate under the the PTO below the rear end, with a hole in it for using with a drop pin hitch, like for a yard cart. Get what WM showed and if you have to drill out the hole in that plate so it fits and your good to go.
And yes like WM said there is no draw bar persay in the BX just the plate for the drop pin

I have two ways to move trailers around now, just did a lot of it on a big welding project. My fork lift attachment for the L3301 came with a 2" receiver build right into the QA frame, but to properly use it you need to remove the forks first. This got old quick, as what I was doing needed forks AND a way to move the trailers.
So I made a little slip on attachment for the front of one fork, this takes about 5 seconds to slip on and off, with one bolt going through the hole I burned into the fork tip to secure it. In my case this also had the advantage of allowing me to "stand off" a ways from the trailer tongue, as the load I was moving around the yard was over length. This setup is working fine for me, but of course being at the end of my 48" fork I keep the loading down to an acceptable level, for a heavy loaded trailer move I still use the QA frame receiver hitch. It keeps the loading nice and close to the FEL pins. I never considered a rear hitch of any type as I didn't want to mess with taking an implement off first.

Why are yo set on a receiver? I bought this from Titan attachments. Built strong as hell and a 2" and 1-7/8" ball.

I need 1-7/8" 2" and 2-5/16" balls, hook, ring and I'd like to try my clay pigeon launcher on the tractor...the ATV rocks with the launching arm.
Edited to add: I also found a sleeve hitch converter so now I can use all of my ATV implements on the BX.

For just moving around in the yard a 1-7/8" ball will work fine on a 2" coupler. I don't worry about that much though because I changed all my 1-7/8" couplers to 2", makes things so much simpler.
