Winch Hitch Makes Wagon Hookups Easy

Winch Hitch Makes Wagon Hookups Easy HITCHES Hitches 13-6-4 First-of-its-kind hitch has got a built-in winch to draw the tongues of wagons or trailing implements up to the drawbar for easy hookup. "It works great to hook up anhydrous ammonia tanks to applicators or when hitching one wagon behind the other. You don't have to get the tractor lined up perfectly and you don't need help to move heavy wagons for hookup," says inventor Randy Renquist, Julesburg, Colo. The coupler consists of a pear-shaped hitch plate that's attached to a cable at one end. The hitch plate is guided into a metal "funnel" which is welded to a rectangular hitch receptacle with a hand-cranked (or electric-powered) winch mounted behind. To hitch a wagon or implement, hook up hitch plate and crank it in with the winch. The funnel guides it into the hitch and a pin secures hitch plate to the receptacle. The price on the new hitch ranges from $275 to $570, depending on size. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Randy Renquist, New Concept Co., 224 So.
