An acquaintance drilled a 1” hole in the lip of his bucket and when he moves a trailer he screws a hitch-ball into the hole.
I’m reluctant to do that…and don’t know why…. Anybody got any Pros or Cons…??
Then there‘s the pallet-forks…. I’ve ordered one of these red-adapters in the pic because for the same reason I’m reluctant to drill a hole in a fork…. and don’t know why.
I think it may be due to the fact my 4 trailers have different ball-sizes…. For example, my dump trailer requires a 2-5/16 ball…and that requires a 1-1/4” hole for the shank… while two of my trailers use 2“ ball with a 1” hole for the shank…and one uses a 1-7/8” ball with a 3/4” shank.
However, If I can find a way to use a receiver-hitch I can use a 3-way ball I already own such as in this picture…. the only problem being how to use one with both a bucket and a fork.
