  • Patent number: 5097609
    Abstract: A portable draft bar is demountably attached to a horizontally disposed surface of an earth-working implement that is adjustably disposed on an earthmoving vehicle by providing an elongated draft bar that is adapted at its rear end to be driveably attached to the rear portion of a horizontally-disposable surface of an earth-working implement, such as a front end loader, and which is slidably disposed in a clamp adapted to be clamped to a forward portion of the work surface so as to provide three-dimensional stability and connection of the draft bar to the vehicle for use as, for example, in moving trailers and the like.
