Ball Hitch Designed For Easy Hook Up
![]() |
The triangle-shaped hitch bolts onto a horizontal steel pipe already on the tractor, which was used to support a pair of pto-driven pulleys that belt-drove a mower. LeBlanc welded a pair of hinged metal brackets onto the pipe that lets the hitch swivel up or down. He also welded a 2-in. ball on back of the hitch.
“I keep several trailers parked on our lawn during the summer and have to move them whenever I cut the grass, so the hitch really comes in handy,” says LeBlanc. “By using the tractor’s ‘power up and down’ option I can lower the hitch to the ground, lift the trailer, and then automatically unhook at the new location.”
