Summary

I frequently pull various types of trailers from small to large. I haul lawn mowers on a small trailer, I have a cargo trailer, a horse trailer, etc. Some farm trailers which require a drawbar but no hitch ball. I end up "throwing these drawbars on the floor behind my seats, on the floor of the pickup bed and wherever it is handy. I finally thought I can design a simple storage rack that I can bolt to the side of my pickup bed so I can grab whatever I need without searching all over the place.

    Great idea and nicely designed. I didn't know I needed this until I saw it! Thanks. The only thing I changed was I added four 11/16" holes on the bottom side to hold some 5/8" hitch pins.

    We need to design it to connect into the quick attach system above this....

    Thought about, but it seemed to me I preferred to keep that option open. My son pointed out that the drawbars could be stolen fairly easily, but I'm not going to worry about that. I live in an area where we don't have a lot of crime. So we shall see.....
