5. Remove the Hair Pin, Washer, and Clevis Pin from the Tow Bar (Figure 27).
6. Remove the Pivot Bolt and Locknut that is securing the Tow Bar Extension to the
Tow Bar using two ¾ in Wrenches. Store the Tow Bar Extension for future use.
7. Secure the Ball Hitch Extension from the kit to the Tow Bar using the Pivot Bolt
and Locknut you removed in the last step (Figure 28).
8. Reinstall the Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin in the Tow Bar to lock the Ball
Hitch Extension in place.
Note: Make sure the Washer and Hair Pin are always installed on the top side.
This prevents the Hair Pin from catching on tall grass.
Connecting the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER
to the Tow Vehicle
1. Remove the Locking Pin and Pull the Latch assembly on the Receiver up into
the open position (Figure 29). Position the Receiver onto the tow vehicle’s Tow
Ball (must be a 2 in Tow Ball).
2. Close the Latch Assembly on the Tow Hitch Assembly to lock it onto the Tow
Ball (Figure 30). Attach the towing Safety Chains to the tow vehicle ensuring
there is enough slack for turning.
Note: When attaching the Safety Chains, attach the left chain to the right anchor
and the right chain to the left anchor so that that the Safety Chains cross each
other under the Ball Hitch (Figure 30).
3. Insert the Locking Pin into the hole in the Latch Assembly.
• The Ball Hitch Kit for the DR TOW-BEHIND FIELD and BRUSH MOWER is
designed for ATV, UTV, or Tractors with a 2 in Ball installed for towing.
• Do not exceed 10 mph when towing and 5 mph when mowing.
• Never tow on roads.
• Never tow with a truck or other road vehicle.
Making sure the mower is securely attached to the ATV, UTV, or Tractor is the
responsibility of the owner/operator. Failure to securely attach the mower can
cause loss of control of the tow vehicle or the mower being separated from the
vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death.
