Universal Heavy Duty Tow Bar Kit For GreatCircle, Landworks, SuperHandy & Tazz

This product was well thought out and made to work perfect without a lot of adjustments. My zero turn mower hauls this thing all over my four acre property.

Received the tow bar yesterday. Takes about 5 minutes to assemble. I have 2 issues that have been pointed out that needs to be addressed by the company. First and foremost, the bar from the handle to the tow bar doesn't hold and the chipper will slip back and drag while towing. I have to attach a bungie or rope to hold it in place. The locking bolt needs to be modified to better hold the position. The second issue is the fit around the axel and handle. I realize it is designed to fit numerous makes of chippers so it is loose fitting. A thin piece if padding of some sort could be added to the kit at minimal expense. Over all, the tow bar seems to work and it sure beats pushing a heavy chipper around several acres of property.

This product was made well enough to be adaptable for a variety of chippers. It goes together fairly easily and makes it easy to hook up to a yard tractor or mower and drag your shredder where you want it instead of trying to push or pull it where your stick pile is.

The tow bar does work but the bar is rather weak and slips and bends easily. I had to use additional straps to keep the chipper from tipping over sideways while under tow. It fell over once and bent the metal on this tow bar. I beat it back so I can still use it but this tow bar is very lite duty. Towing a 200-300 pounds wood chipper is pushing its limits.

I replaced the two upper (handle) pins with 1/4-20 cap screws and cut 4 inches off the inner rod to increase the tilt angle. I added some rubber padding to the top and bottom attachment points... anything will do even some old rubber garden hose. Also I locked the adjustment knob and jam nutted it tight. No need to mess with that once the tilt angle is set. When you need to run the chipper, unhitch it from the tractor and run it level. I'm using the harbor freight predator chipper. Great value and not worth my time to build from scratch. Expect minor modification going into the purchase.

but unless your willing to put the time, energy and additional expense into making it functional … I'd not recommend one. I had to use the inner tube trick as mentioned in another review and while it helped to keep in from moving it still was insecure. The rod used to adjust the tilting was way too long to allow the front legs from clearing any kind of rocks or dips in my gravel drive way. It had to be shortened. Too … two of the pins they supplied to attach it were too short. After all of that it, while it MINIMALLY works, only works in the best of situations. Mine now sits in my shed as a reminder … if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

It does what they said it would do. The only minor problem occurred when attaching. I had to bend the attachment to make it fit. Not a real problem for me, but maybe some people don’t have the tools I have. I had to bend it with a hammer! Ha! I hope this helps.

The Tow bar works and saves lugging the chipper around my two acre yard. The design isn’t perfect, I added some felt between the upper bracket and the handle bar as well as the lower bracket and the axel to eliminate or at least lessen metal to metal contact and save the paint.
