"Slick Hitch" Makes Wagon Hook-Up Easy

Slick Hitch Makes Wagon Hook-Up Easy HITCHES Here’s a quick-hitch that’s different than other quick hitches we’ve seen in the past Invented by Lloyd Martin the “Slick Hitch” consists of 2 parts – a unit that mounts on the tractor drawbar and has a long “tail” rod bolted onto it that’s free to swivel up or down and a set of V-shaped metal rods spaced about 26 in apart that attach to the wagon tongue To hook up to a wagon the tractor driver lines the tail rod up anywhere inside the V-shaped rods and backs up The V-shaped rods slide up and over the tail rod until it hits a pair of hardened steel jaws that automatically engage The weight of the wagon tongue going “over center” on the tail rod causes the tail rod to automatically flip up without dragging on the ground To unhook the wagon the operator pulls on a cable that releases a locking pin and automatically opens the hardened jaws “It’s a fast and easy way to hook up to a wagon because you don’t have to back up dead center with the wagon tongue ” says Martin “It works great if you’re pulling a forage chopper where you have a limited view It works best with tractor drawbars that are 16 to 20 in high Both parts of the hitch are built heavy and weigh 75 lbs a set ” The Slick Hitch sells for $420 per set plus S&H Additional wagon hookups sell for $150 plus S&H Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Lloyd Martin Slick Hitch LLC 1040 Exeter Ave Alta Vista Iowa 50603 ph 641 364-9003
