Self-Locking Hitch Clamps To Toolbar
"My self-locking hitch mounts on any toolbar and lets one person quickly, safely, and easily hitch up to towed equipment," says An-drew Heinze, Dazey, N. Dak.
His "Sure Hitch" clamps onto a toolbar and consists of a spring-loaded pin, guide assembly, and drawbar. The drawbar can be pulled backward 15 in. and swung 15 in. from side to side, so you only have to get within 15 in. or so of whatever you want to tow. Once the hitch is locked up, you back up and the guide assembly locks the drawbar into position. The spring-loaded pin keeps the hitch rigid when towing.
"It's a self-locking system that automatically resets as soon as you pull forward," says Heinze. "It works great for pulling anhydrous ammonia tanks behind chisel plows, where you have to change tanks often. It also works great for pulling air seeders or drills."
The hitch is available in three models and sells for $250 to $450 plus S&H.
