How is the trailer attached to Davie? That looks a strange drawbar

If you look at some of my old posts (these I think are the best ones:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8140 and
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8125) you'll see our drawbars, made locally many years ago and you might also see why Billy couldn't just drive away with it. If you need more pics I'll take some tomorrow.

Now i see! That drawbar is a similar setup (on a smaller scale) to the scraper boxes on Cat crawlers

I see what you mean about what we did yesterday, but I don't see the comparison with it in normal working (when there's only one pivot point in each axis). Davie's drawbar is solid (welded up by a previous owner), while Billy's one does pivot in the pitch axis.
