A drawbar apparatus for a cart, wagon or trailer. The drawbar apparatus includes a shaft having a first end suitable for connection to a cart, and a second end including a hitch coupling. The drawbar includes a handle member having a handle first end and a handle second end. The handle first end is pivotally connected to the shaft, and the handle second end includes a grip or gripping region. The handle member is selectively pivotal between a first position and a second position, the hitch coupling extending distally beyond the handle member in the first position, and the handle member extending distally beyond the hitch coupling in the second position. Some embodiments further include a lock configured to selectively secure the handle member when the handle member is in the first position and the second position.
