I build a tow hitch for my old 300d about 20 years ago, it is mounted between the bumper and the body using the existing bumper mounts and has a plate that bolts to the underside of the spare well. The biggest thing I have towed was a New Holland round bale hay baler. It weighs about a ton and a half, not braked and is unsprung on balloon tires. I had to move it about 150 miles. It pulled it well, got up to 45 mph a few times. Head winds were a pain as the baler is aero-dynamically like a bucket being dragged through water.
I need to make a hitch for my 124 wagon soon.
