Abstract:
A tractor rear hitch (10) comprising a drawbar (24) and a drawbar support frame (26) is provided. The drawbar is secured to the support frame by a pin (30) which is inserted through respective holes in the support frame and the drawbar. A drawbar release member (40) comprises a lever (42) which is pivotally mounted to the support frame. The drawbar release member is pivotally connected at a forward end (40a) to the pin so as to lift the pin, and thus release the drawbar, when a rear end of the lever is forced downward. A pedal (50) is mounted to the rear end of the lever which allows an operator to force the lever downwards using their foot. The provision of a pedal-operated release mechanism delivers a significant ergonomic advantage in that the operator no longer need apply the pin lifting force with their hands close to the ground.

The articulated joint (1) comprises a socket (4) arranged in a first articulation link portion (5), said first articulation link portion being adapted to be connected to one of said front or said rear vehicle body (2, 3). The articulation joint (1) further comprises a stud (6) arranged in a second articulation link portion (7), and extending along an axis A, said second articulation portion (7) being adapted to be connected to another one of said front or rear vehicle body (2, 3), said stud being pivotally arranged in said socket (4), and at least one annular sealing device (8) at least partly enclosing said stud and socket, and wherein said annular sealing device (8) comprises a sealing flange (9).
Abstract:
Described is an attachment device for trailer tow bars, comprising: a first connecting joint (12) which can be associated with a vehicle (3), the first joint (12) rotating about a first vertical axis (X) extending transversally to the supporting surface of the vehicle (3); a second connecting joint (13) opposite the first joint (12) and associable with a trailer (4), the second joint (13) rotating at least about a horizontal axis (W) extending parallel to the supporting plane of the vehicle (3) and of the trailer (4) and transversally to the direction of movement (A) of the vehicle (3); and a supporting body (2) associated between the first and second joint (12, 13).
Abstract:
A hitch for coupling a towing vehicle to a towed implement is disclosed. The hitch includes a receiver adapted to be mounted to the towing vehicle. The hitch also includes an adaptor including a first portion that fits within the receiver and a second portion at which a primary hitch coupling element is located. The hitch further includes a connection/release arrangement for selectively securing the adaptor within the receiver. The connection/release arrangement includes a lock member movable between an engaged position where the adaptor is locked within the receiver and a disengaged position where the adapter can be inserted into and removed from the receiver. The lock member has an insertion/retraction depth when moved between the engaged position and the disengaged position. The adaptor has a first cross-dimension measured in the same orientation as the insertion/retraction depth. The insertion/retraction depth is less than the first cross-dimension.
Abstract:
A universal offset lawn mower towing device includes a hitch engagement unit having a first elongated shaft with an opening along one end. An offset adjustment unit having a second elongated shaft member is slidingly positioned within the first elongated shaft, and further includes a semi-circular plate with a plurality of alignment apertures. A pair of mower attachment arms extend outward from the semi-circular plate and include mower attachment nuts along their distal ends. A safety tether includes an elongated steel cable that runs the length of the device, and connects the safety handle of the upright mower to the riding mower.
Abstract:
A load sensing and lift cylinder adjusting system for a three-point linkage arrangement on a tractor, which includes; a control system and load setting system; a load sensing system in the form of a load sensing proportional valve in fluid connection with the lift cylinder; a load adjusting system which includes a load sense pump connected to the load sensing proportional valve and the tractor's hydraulic oil supply; the load sensing system monitors load on the lift cylinder via oil pressure from within the lift cylinder and if the load drops from the pre-set load this sends a signal to the load adjusting system which diverts oil from a hydraulic oil supply to the lift cylinder to maintain the pre-set load; if the pre-set load is exceeded a signal is sent to the load adjusting system which diverts oil from the lift cylinder back to the tractor's hydraulic oil supply.
Abstract:
A drawbar pin bore adapter (10) includes a bushing (20) sized to fit within a drawbar pin bore (14) of a first size and a retainer (30) to secure the bushing (20) to the drawbar (12). The bushing may include a primary portion (26) having an outer diameter configured for insertion into the drawbar pin bore, an inner diameter configured to receive a drawbar pin of a second diameter; and an extension portion (32) configured to protrude from the drawbar bore and engage the retainer to secure at least a portion of the bushing within the drawbar pin bore.
