An attachment (1) for attaching to a towbar (3) of a towable apparatus (5), for example, a mower for hitching the towable apparatus (5) to either an agricultural tractor or a road vehicle comprises a mounting shaft (10) for securing to the towbar (3), and carrying a first gearbox (12). A second gearbox (14) is pivotally coupled to the first gearbox (12) about a vertical pivot axis (15) through which drive is transmitted from the second gearbox (14) to the first gearbox (12). A carrier housing (24) is rigidly secured to the second gearbox (14) and carries a first hitch (30) for hitching to a complementary hitch mechanism of a road vehicle, and a second hitch (38) for coupling a tractor (7). The second gearbox (14) is pivotal relative to the first gearbox (14) about the main pivot axis (15) between a first state with the first hitch (30) ready for hitching to the road vehicle, and a second state with the second hitch (38) ready for hitching to the tractor (7).

An implement coupler including an electrical generator configured to generate electric power in response to a mechanical force provided by a power takeoff of a work vehicle. The implement coupler includes a support frame and an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to the support frame, wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the support frame with respect to the work vehicle. The generator is located on the support frame and is operatively connected to the power takeoff. The implement coupler further includes a drive shaft connected to the power takeoff and to the generator, an electrical coupler electrically coupled to the generator to provide access to the generated electrical power wherein the electrical coupler includes an output configured to provide the generated electrical power, and a line coupler including a connector configured to couple to source of material and to deliver the material.

A lifting device for platforms carrying a load is disclosed. A winch or piston is engaged with two vertical arms connected to two horizontal arms configured for attaching to a load carrying assembly such that exerting an upward force on the two vertical arms causes the horizontal arms to pivot upward to lift the load carrying assembly which enables transporting the platform and the load on it to another location. The lifting device is configured to quickly attach to and detach from the load carrying platform and for maintaining a level position during transportation. The horizontal arms are configured for retracting and expending which enables the tilting of the load carrying assembly backward or forward as needed for improved transportation stability and load discharge.

A three-point hitch for an agricultural tractor includes a hydraulically actuatable lifting arm, a vertically pivotable lower link, and a lifting strut arranged between the lifting arm and the lower link. The lifting strut transmits to the lower link a pivoting movement on the lifting arm. The lifting strut includes a first fastening portion articulated to the lifting arm and a second fastening portion articulated to the lower link. The second fastening portion includes first and second fastening segments which encompass the lower link in a fork-shaped manner. A bearing pin disposed between the two fastening segments extends through a slot formed in the lower link. By pivoting the lower link, the bearing pin is displaced inside the slot between a first working position and a second working position. In each position, the bearing pin is secured inside the slot by a blocking arrangement.
