Locking Hitch Pin Bracket
You’ll never lose a wagon again due to a lost hitch pin, says Clarence Genz, Forest Lake, Minn., distributor of a new safety hitch pin bracket.
  Invented by Minnesota farmer Ken Harwick, the U-shaped bracket measures 5 1/2 in. high by 2 1/2 in. deep. It comes with a small hole on top to insert a snap ring and a 1 1/2-in. dia. hole at the bottom for the pin. You slip the pin through the drawbar and implement tongue, keeping the pin up high enough so you can slide the top of the bracket through the pin handle. Then insert the pin through the bracket’s large hole, push the handle down, and insert the snap ring.
  “The snap ring keeps the pin from ever popping loose in the field. It locks the pin in place securely no matter how rough the terrain,” says Genz. “If you want to leave the machine in the field, you can substitute a padlock for the snap ring.”
  The hitch pin bracket is painted black and can be custom-painted for orders of 10 or more. It sells for less than $20 plus S&H.
