Drop Drawbar for DMI bumper

[TWilkening]

I'm hoping there are at least a few guys around here who know what a DMI bumper is...

Anyways, I put one on my truck, and the drawbar is too high. I dropped it as far as the brackets can allow, but I still need about 4 more inches of drop. I have seen a few around with a drawbar that has drop in it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes these, or they are strictly a custom part.

The Q-C II uses a regular receiver ball mount, right? Haven't seen a regular DMI drawbar hitch with a drop. Could make new mounting plates to drop the frame more.

I'm surprised you still need more drop. I have the opposite problem with my Schuck 750 RT-R. I wanted the swinging drawbar, so I got the one with the 3 1/2" drop to clear the hitch frame. Not a problem too often, but sometimes is.

A guy I know made a drop bar for his. It is a receiver with the lowered draw bar welded to it and it slides over the DMI draw bar.

The Q-C II is the full bumper that uses a regular drawbar. I think the receiver hitch is the Quic' n' Easy, I believe. The height is alright for gravity wagons and the like, but is too high for our square baler. The tongue on the back dang near scrapes the ground. I would say the height of the drawbar is about the same height as the reciever hitch would be, may down an inch or 2.

I have the Quic'n' Easy and it is a receiver style hitch.

Ah, yes, that is right. Brain fart. :-laf:-laf

We have one, too. Use it with a pintle hitch for the air compressor.

Can you get some pictures of this? It would be nice to have the drop when I need it, but I would think the straight drawbar would be alot stronger for pulling auger carts around.

PM me your e-mail address and give me a week or so and I'll send you some pictures. I don't know how to post them on here.

Leaving today, and I'll be out of town til about mid week. Shoot me a PM to remind me, I'll get some pics and post them. Hopefully the compressor is still home so I can get them quick. Will have to look in the shed when I get back.

RW- Can send the pics to me, I'll put them up for ya.

The one we use is made somewhat similar, but has a 2" receiver tube in place of the drawbar.
