Thought I should post this since it's the only one like it I've ever seen. It's not a conventional draw bar. Dad made it decades ago. Seems like he saw one like it somewhere and then made his own. It has a tongue for hooking up a trailer if needed like a regular draw bar.
It was designed for light logging duty. Made from 3” angle iron, can’t see it but the inside angle has a 1”x1” piece of steel welded in for extra strength across it’s length.
The best part is the ring, it’s great for hooking up a chain when skidding logs. It allows the chain to move freely depending on the angle of the pull. The chain will never bind.
Those of you with tractors might want to weld one together. I've pulled 3ft diameter logs with no problems. And we've been using it more than 40 years... paid for itself many times over.
