 Topic: Looking for a Traction Booster Hitch
Posted: 20 Jun 2012 at 9:55pm |
 I've got a customer looking for one of these traction booster hitches for a Two-Ten or Two-Twenty. I can't honsetly remember ever seeing one for sale or even at a show so I have no idea how hard they are to come by or a going rate for one. If anybody can give me some idea's for price and a location of one for sale that would be great. Thanks in advance.

My brother has 2 that he's picked up at auctions over the years. Not for sale though otherwise I'd buy one of his. My guess is most found their way to the scrap heap many years ago.

I have 1 for a Cat III hitch here, have used it on 7060 and 7020, not sure if I would even consider selling it, much less what it might be worth.

I have two not for sale. One is unused NOS. I've used one to pull a 7 yard scraper with a 2wd tractor and it made the difference between being able to pull or not pull the scraper.
It actually worked on a green tractor. I don't know why they were not more popular. The implement had to have a smooth bottom on the tongue which may be the main reason.

Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

I have one also, not for sale. Paid $50 bucks at a tractor salvage yard 5 years ago. Hope this helps for pricing. I dont think they are impossible to find.

I think they're a rare item today. We use to have one and don't know where it went. We used it on D21 pulling a old scraper in 69-70 and I can remember it laying in weeds by the scraper for a few years. So maybe it went with scraper when Dad sold it? I've been hunting one for a few years now and no luck. Like Lonn said I think most went to scrap. Dad said he only sold a couple of them. Good Luck! Maybe someone could let you borrow one to have a new one made? That's what I was thinking of doing.

We have one. Bought a Series 4 Diesel with Plow and a Disc. The hitch and front slab weights were also included . I haven't seen very many of those hitches and don't know what prices they are going for.

Thanks for all the comments guys. It kinda looks like there are some of them out there but the guys who got them don't want to let them go. Might be tough to find one for sale at any price.

One like that was offered on this site a few years ago for $200.It was far away from me and would have been PRICEY to ship...so I passed. I would think you could "build" one but would need to know demensions and location of things.

I have 2 also but dont really want to sell them either, bought one somewhere and a guy gave me one out of his shed one time, I do know where one is NOS still in a dealership, the dealer told me a guy ordered one from him so he got one for himself thinking he would be able to sell it but he said he couldnt so there it still sets, I dont need it so if you tell me what you would give the next time I go by there I will see if it would be in your price range, Dustin
