Easy Skid Hitch Works In Tight Spaces
The May Wes Skid Hitch makes moving trailers with a skid loader possible. “If you’re tired of moving trailers around with a tractor or a pickup, get the skid hitch,” says company representative Eric Bates. “It attaches right to the front end of your skid loader for a convenient alternative.”
May Wes is a division of Pride Solutions of Hutchinson, Minn. The company was founded in 1972 by Mavis and Wesley Bruns, a farming couple devoted to creating slick and durable field equipment made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW).
The skid hitch makes it possible to utilize a 2-in. standard receiver and ball hitch (not included). It’s designed for a universal fit and will slip over most skid loader attachments. “The great thing about this skid hitch is that you can get into such tight corners that are tricky with a pickup, tractor, even a forklift,” says Bates. “It allows for quick, easy hookup to move any trailer of any size to any corner of your property.”
Though the Skid Hitch is lightweight and easy to install and remove, it has a 1,000 lb. tongue weight rating. That’s an upgrade from the previous version, which only had an 800 lb. rating. Still, the hitch is small enough to fit in a truck toolbox when not in use. It retails for $195 on the May Wes website. You can also use the Dealer Locator Map to track down in-person dealers.
