A quick hitch for an agricultural vehicle has a frame with an elongate top link member and a pair of leg members removably attached to the top link member. The top link member has a central portion extending generally horizontally in a lateral direction and a pair of side regions which extend laterally outwardly and downwardly from the central portion. Each leg member is removably attached to a distal end of a respective one of the side regions via a generally horizontally aligned joint. Each leg member may be secured to the top link member by fasteners which extend vertically, and which may be inserted and removed from above. The leg members may be attachable to the top link member in a first configuration to provide a quick hitch having a first width and in a second configuration to provide a quick hitch having a second width.

A mounting bracket for mounting a front three-point hitch on a tractor includes a linking part for articulated mounting of the front three-point hitch, a connecting part for coupling the linking part to a support structure of the tractor, and a first contact region defined on the linking part and a second contact region defined on the connecting part. The first contact region interacts with the second contact region for coupling the linking part to the connecting part. The first contact region and the second contact region are separably clamped to one another in a coupling position. The linking part is selectively disposable in one of a plurality of coupling positions relative to the connecting part.

A hitch assembly for a working vehicle, the front hitch assembly includes a carrier for attachment to a working vehicle, the carrier being pivotable about a first axis; a pair of lift arms each of the lift arms having a first end and a second end, the lift arms pivotably attached to the carrier about a second axis, the second axis being proximate the first ends of the lift arms; a link member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the link member being pivotably attached to the pair of lift arms about a third axis, the third axis being positioned closer to the second end of the lift arms than the second axis, the second end of the link for attachment to a working vehicle; a locking means; an actuator pivotably connected to the carrier and the lift arms at the second axis; wherein the hitch assembly has a working configuration and a folded configuration; and wherein in the working configuration, the locking means secures the lift arms relative to the carrier such that relative movement about the second axis is prevented and the actuator is operable to raise and lower the lift arms; and wherein in the folded configuration, the lift arms are pivotable relative to the carrier about the second axis, and the second end of the link member is secured to a vehicle mount, such that extension of the actuator folds the lift arms relative to the carrier about the second axis, thereby moving the hitch assembly from the working configuration to the folded configuration.

A mountable vehicle implement (10) is provided and comprises a mounting region at or towards one end for mounting the implement on a vehicle (20). The implement is height adjustable to adjust the height of the mounting region, and the implement comprises means for adjusting the angle of the mounting region so that it is matched to a cooperating mounting region on a vehicle.

An adjustable width quick hitch assembly for an agricultural vehicle. The quick hitch assembly is provided with spacer elements which can be incorporated into the assembly as required, where the selection and positioning of the spacer elements results in an assembled quick hitch having various hitch widths.

An apparatus for connecting an implement to a three point hitch of mobile machinery comprises two frameworks, a first framework and a second framework. The first framework is disposed in a first plane and comprises at least two parallel, vertically-spaced apart, laterally extending rails. There are three attachments supported by the first framework for attachment to the three-point hitch. The second framework is slidable generally in the plane of the first framework and is mounted on the rails to slide laterally along the rails. At least two connectors are supported by the slidable second framework for connecting the second framework to an implement that can be pulled or pushed by the mobile machinery. A driver is connected to the first framework and connected to the second framework for driving the second framework laterally back and forth along the rails of the first framework.

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.

An apparatus for connecting an implement to mobile machinery comprises a first frame work, a slidable second frame work, and at least one support member. The support member provides support for the second framework as it slides back and forth along the first frame work.

Skid-steer type power unit engageable with an implement using an attachment assembly including an attachment frame and a hitch. An arcuate frame member is located forwardly of the attachment frame and is engaged therewith in such a way that the frame member pivots about a vertical axis located forwardly of the frame member and generally centrally positioned relative to the attachment frame. The frame member pivots in response to actuation of a hydraulic cylinder. The power unit includes a system for transferring weight of the implement rearwardly onto the power unit. A belt-drive power-take off system on the power unit powers the implement's operation. An underbelly drop spreader is located between the front and rear wheels of the power unit and a brine delivery system distributes brine from nozzles located rearwardly of the rear wheels. A unique control panel permits operation of all systems on the power unit and implement.
