  • Works great on JD X590 with Log Splitter & 17P trailer
Pros: - Very Sturdy once mounted - Places ball at perfect height for larger log splitter (CountyLine 40 ton) - Ball and hole placement further back enhances backup maneuverability (improves 'jackknife' performance) Cons: - Makes tractor slightly longer (like 9" longer) so storing tractor may be more difficult Review: After looking at several options to add a trailer mounting 'structure' to my John Deere X590 tractor, I settled on this unit. I liked the way this mount retained (but relocated) the lower hole and provided a higher mounting location to move a 2" ball. Before getting this unit I was switching back and forth between installing a 2" ball to move my log splitter (CountyLine 40 Ton) and removing it to use my John Deere 17P trailer. It was a bit of a pain to keep swapping between the ball mount and the hole for the trailer-but the real problem for me was the fact that the log splitter's tongue sat down really low, making the splitter angle up pretty steeply, and made it difficult to clamp down the mount on the splitter. Additionally, I would have to support the weight of the log splitter with one leg, and use the other foot to push down the 'stand' on the log splitter while holding it with one leg (not easy, nor safe given the log splitter weight a total of approx 700 lb, so I was supporting at least 150 lb awkwardly). When reading the reviews I was a bit concerned about installation as I read several people saying they needed to heat up and bend the brackets because the angles weren't correct. I didn't want to have to do that, but decided to buy the unit anyway. Installation: I largely disregarded the instructions when installing the unit-not because they weren't helpful, but because it was pretty obvious how to put the unit together. I started off by installing the main bolt through the bottom to hold the main post (roughly) in position. I tightened up the bolt until it was snug, but I could still rotate the unit. This helped me decide which support brackets would be the correct length to use for mounting (I chose the shorter brackets). As I mocked those up, I did see the angles didn't match perfectly, but decided to mount the brackets to the tractor frame first. After that, I mounted the long center bolt through the two support arms and main beam, threaded on the nut and washer. I then tightened up the frame bolts, through bolt, and then tightened up the large. bottom bolt. When I tightened up the cross bolt, it did 'bend' and 'flatten down' the two cross pieces to mount almost perfectly flat to the main bar, to no custom 'vice' or 'torch' work was needed. In the end, it was a pretty easy install that took about 10 minutes to complete with hand tools and a Milwaukee 18V driver. Use: Note: I added a Magnetic hitch pin (also bought on Amazon) and Curt 40003 chrome 2" ball to complete the install. I first started by installing my 17P trailer and taking it for a short spin using the magnetic hitch pin. No drama or surprises-worked great. Surprise bonus: with the mounting hole now positioned about 6" further back, I was pleased to see that the maneuverability of the trailer (both going forward and backing up) was notably improved. I then took the trailer off and took the tractor over by my log splitter. I had read that the ball was a bit 'too high', requiring lifting the log splitter 'up' to mount to the higher ball location (measured 22.5" to the top of my 2" ball after install). I backed up the tractor to see how it lined up, and sure enough, the ball is indeed higher than the mount (see pictures). HOWEVER, the benefit of this: it actually allowed me to kick the 'stand' on the log splitter back under the log splitter with the unit mounted to the ball. This is a HUGE benefit in my opinion as you can actuate the stand when the log splitter is securely mounted to the ball-a very big improvement! This goes for kicking the stand up, or setting it down. While driving the log splitter around I noticed a couple more improvements: 1) the log splitter was now almost perfectly level when mounted to the ball, 2) Moving the mount backwards by about 9" resulted in MUCH improved maneuvering of the log splitter-especially when backing up (much more 'jack knife' tolerant and allows more extreme articulation for backing the log splitter into parking positions). This was not expected and a VERY welcome improvement! Again: loading the heavy log splitter on and off the ball was a greatly improved experience due to being able move the splitter's stand into the needed position. Lastly, when I went to put the tractor back away in the garage (we don't have a large garage) I realized potentially the only 'downside' to the new mount: it did make the tractor about 6-9" longer. When I backed it into its (tight) parking space behind my car, it didn't end up really mattering, but I thought I'd note it since others may not realize the implication. Anyway, I'm really pleased overall with the purchase-especially since it really wasn't too expensive. Hopefully these 'user' notes from first hand use will help others with making the decision if they're on the fence. Overall: Very pleased and definitely would recommend for a JD X500 series tractor. ... show more

  • Solid and sturdy
Taking my time, it took me about 45 minutes to install. I had to drill holes through the back of the frame, as expected, just two holes. I had to remove the battery and its tray to install it. Again, as expected. It’s very solid, all steel. Nuts and bolts are chrome plated steel. The only negative for me personally is that the hitch sets the towing ball at a height that is too high for my trailer jack (which is mounted onto the trailer tongue). That would be a problem if I was moving a large heavy full trailer’s worth from my tractor to my car. An easy way to work around that is that I would simply put a couple inches of wood underneath the trailer jack when using it, so that it would lift everything higher, and off the hitch. My tractor is a Craftsman (Husqvarna clone). No holes matched up, and I knew that would be the case before I bought it. The instructions indicate what size holes need to be drilled into the rear or the tractor frame (5/16”). I tested it by pulling my 400 or so lb. trailer around my property. It worked very well. This is a keeper for sure. ... show more

  • Needs some minor tweaking to fit
Product is solid and very strong. Like the other reviews the shortest side brackets were slightly too long for the back of my JD155. I used my vise and extra large Cresent wrench to bend the angles in slightly at one end and then close the angle where it attached to the mower. Took 10 min for the adjustments and total of about 30 min for the install due to removing the right tire. I was able to teach the left side. ... show more

  • Works
Works fine. Had to drill one brace lower to clear the blade controls on my cub cadet xt1. So one side has the brace straight/level to the mower and the right side is angled down a bit. But works good enough for me to be able to move my 10ft. trailer around the yard to park it, so I don’t have to rut up my yard with the truck. ... show more

  • Excellent Product
Installed quickly on my John Deere X350. I did drill 2 holes on the back (black) plate but the install was really very simple and took about 20 minutes. Great, sturdy product and will come in very handy when moving my small trailer around our property. Would definitely recommend this product.

  • Does not fit JD X580
Was looking for a ball hitch solution for my John Deere X580 and thought I'd give this one a try. There's mixed reviews about fitment but as a mechanic I figured I could make it work. No dice. Whatever I tried I could not get the brackets to line up satisfactorily. Too bad, as it seems like it's decently built. This bracket is 'universal' so YMMV depending on the mower/garden tractor one is mounting it to. ... show more

  • Fit my john deere!
I had no trouble installing this. I think the key is to assemble it all loosly on the tractor and then tighten letting it draw itself in and adjust to fit. Very sturdy and handy thing to have. Im happy!

  • Doesn't fit John Deere as Shown In Photo
The first photo of this product shows the rear side of a GREEN tractor with inner YELLOW wheels. Anyone know of any other brand but John Deere this could be? However, I see a total of ZERO (0) reviews that mention this device fitting a John Deere. Every single one "got it to work" but it was a "PITA". Personally, after now spending 30 minutes screwing the large bolts into place, I have discovered that this model does NOT in fact fit a John Deere without "modification". Now I have to either spend $20 to buy a wrought iron bar to extend the back plate / frame and drill multiple holes in WROUGHT IRON in order to make it work, OR I have to bend the iron bars (weakening them, potentially breaking them, etc.) in order to get this to fit. But it's 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off and then a trip to UPS or wherever if I want to return this. Up the creek. Forget any of your regular tools to install the large bolt, too. You're going to need a 15/16" wrench, and ideally the same size socket. What a waste of time!! ... show more
