Hopefully a quick question, can you fit a towball to tow a trailer onto a compact tractor please? If so is it simple and effective? Same question also for an old tractor. Many thanks

If you have a drawbar on your tractor its simple you can use something like this : (there are variations-make sure you get the right size bolt to suit the hole in your drawbar...your local tractor dealer will have a selection of these)

If not you can use something like this:

Thanks for the advice, purchased a Kubota compact tractor which is great and it came with a tow ball on a frame that fixes to the 3 point linkage. Works brilliantly, I would heartily recommend it to anyone!
