Abstract
A tow-behind implement and a hitch therefor are provided. The hitch is for securing the implement to a pulling vehicle such as a tractor. The hitch attaches a farm or industrial implement to the drawbar of a pulling vehicle. The hitch mechanism includes a clevis swingingly and rotatably mounted to an offset hitch component which is secured to the tongue or the like of the pull-behind implement. This swinging attachment is at a location forward of the hitch pin. The clevis remains parallel to the drawbar regardless of the attitude of the implement in order to increase contact surface area. In addition, the weight of the implement is ahead of the hitch pin in order to reduce stress on the drawbar. Angular movement which is provided by the hitch is greater than that provided by standard implement hitch devices.
