3-Pt. Automatic Quick Hitch

3-Pt. Automatic Quick Hitch HITCHES Hitches 21-2-27 This self-aligning 3-pt. hitch lets you hook up and unhook implements as well as ad-just the implement's angle, all from the tractor seat. "It eliminates the need to get on and off the tractor to insert pins or adjust the manual top link," says Guarian "Bubba" Simnacher, Bubco Distributing, Lodi, Calif., who's handling the Norwegian-built hitch. The "Triangle Quick Hitch" consists of two interlocking triangular steel frames. One frame attaches to the lower arms of your tractor's 3-pt. hitch and is assisted by a hydraulic top link that replaces the existing manual top link. This unit is also equipped with a self-engaging locking mechanism to ensure that the two components don't become accidentally disengaged. The receivers can be bolted or welded directly to the implement's existing hitch points. To hook up the implement, you lower the 3-pt. hitch while backing up until the two components come in contact with each other, then raise the 3-pt. hitch - the system will automatically align and lock the implement in place. To unhook, pull the release cord while lowering the implement to the ground. Once on the ground the tractor-mounted unit will disengage itself from the receiver, allowing you to pull forward and then hook onto another implement without leaving the tractor seat. An indicator gauge on the top side of the cylinder provides a reference point of the top link's position and can be easily read from inside the tractor.
