Anyone seen this type 2way that would fit tb216?
Trying to figure out if it's viable or too small?

Hmm think touch and go on the 216 the distance between the inner edges of the 2 pins needs to be greater than the minimum cheek to cheek width. Basically if you can get your quick hitch to drop down perpendicular between the pins then it's doable...

seem to recall this being discussed a long while back and seem to recall the conclusion that some small ones just wouldn't work :(

That's my thoughts .. sadly.
Basically we swapped 90deg just undoing the bolts but it's a right pita. But absolutely brilliant for the messing about we do...but need to swap back for loading trailers etc iykwim.

What’s that type of manual rotator you like? Where you can index a head manually between a dozen different slots round the circle?
well I made a multi-positional one for the Haner, but Dala Gripen make one that'll do IIRC 30 deg increments (or maybe it was 15 deg.s) :unsure: .... Aiden deals with Dala

Nope it's 90 deg.s only but wouldn't take much doing to add some notches to the indexer plate

Can you have it In "float " postion too so could use as a knockaround could be handy on some job stack timber perhaps...

don't know if they do one small enough for yours Gavin :( .. and I've only seen S type pick ups

yes - the lock isn't spring loaded and has to be manually locked in position so you could leave it 'free rotating' -- I can with mine too
