A gooseneck ball extender is designed to mate with a center socket and receivers mounted to a towing vehicle and provide a gooseneck ball that is offset from the center socket. The extender has a cylindrical shaft with captured balls that can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position through a spring-loaded locking shaft that moves between an unlocked and locked position. The locking shaft is biased towards the locked position where the captured balls are extended. The extender has an outrigger portion that has puck locks. The puck locks are rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. As attached to the towing vehicle, the outrigger portion provides additional support to the gooseneck ball.

Techniques and/or systems are disclosed for an implement attachment assembly for a work vehicle. The implement attachment assembly includes a member having a body extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The first end includes a central axis disposed at a first height relative to a member vertical axis and the second end includes a central axis disposed at a second height relative to the member vertical axis. The first end central axis is operably disposed at a different height than the second end central axis. The first end is configured to operably connect to the work vehicle. The second end is configured to operably connect to a coupling device.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a tow bar. The tow bar is constructed to be coupled to a towing vehicle and a slingshot motorcycle. The tow bar defines a rectangular aperture. A length of the rectangular aperture is smaller than a diameter of a central tire of the slingshot motorcycle. The tow bar can be fixedly coupled to a pair of chains. Each of the pair of chains is coupleable to a bumper of the towing vehicle.

A multiple hitch member assembly is described for connecting a trailer to a tow vehicle where a hitch member is rotatably with respect to a main hitch member that is connected to a hitch receiver on the tow vehicle, where the hitch member carries a plurality of hitch elements (e.g., ball hitches of varying sizes) and where with the main hitch member secured to the hitch receiver the hitch member is rotatable to position a desired hitch element to be connected to a trailer or the like such that the hitch member cannot be removed from the main hitch member.

The extender has a cylindrical shaft with captured balls that can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position through a spring-loaded locking shaft that moves between an unlocked and locked position. The locking shaft is biased towards the locked position where the captured balls are extended. The extender has an outrigger portion that has puck locks. The puck locks are rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. As attached to the towing vehicle, the outrigger portion provides additional support to the gooseneck ball.

A hitch system is described for coupling an object to a vehicle hitch. The hitch system can have a connector adapted to connect to a vehicle hitch having a connector channel that passes through the connector and has an internal threaded section; a lock rod having, a first section wherein at least a portion of the first section is threaded wherein the internal threaded section of the connector are adapted to receive the threads of the first section of the lock rod and a second section; and a locking member having a first locking member channel having an inside diameter and an outside diameter wherein the inside diameter of the locking member channel is smaller than the diameter of the second section and a lock to move between a locked position and an opened position wherein the second section of the lock rod is secured to the locking member when the second section is disposed within the locking member channel and the lock is in the locked position and is removable when the lock is in the opened position.

A coupling device for coupling a first vehicle to a second towed vehicle includes a pillar for mounting to a towbar of the first vehicle, the pillar defining a primary longitudinal axis and including an upper portion, a lower portion adapted for engagement with the towbar of the first vehicle, and an intermediate portion including a radially protruding locking flange, a coupling body adapted for sleeved engagement with the upper portion of the pillar, the coupling body including at least one locking device for locking the coupling body to the locking flange of the pillar, and a rotary cap operatively associated with the at least one locking device and adapted for rotation relative to the coupling body. Rotation of the rotary cap causes the locking device to pivot between at least a locked position in which the coupling body is prevented from disengaging from the locking flange of the pillar and an unlocked position in which the coupling device is free to disengage from the locking flange of the pillar.

Hitch mount systems for connecting an implement to a vehicle having two hitch arms are disclosed. The hitch mount systems may include a shaft configured to be attached to the two hitch arms of the vehicle and a yoke assembly. The yoke assembly includes first and second shaft slots for removably receiving the shaft.

In accordance with one series of embodiments of the current disclosure, there is provided a tractor hitch system for hitching a tractor to a trailing implement. The tractor hitch system comprises a base, an actuator, a pin and a lever arm. The base is configured to be mountable on a drawbar of the tractor. The actuator is movable between a first position and a second position. The lever arm is attached to the base, connected to the actuator, and attached to the pin. The attachment of the lever arm to the pin allows the pin to pivot and move laterally with respect to the lever arm such that, when the actuator is in the first position, the pin engages the drawbar so as to be able to couple the tractor to the trailing implement, and when the actuator is in the second position, the pin is disengaged from the drawbar so that the tractor is not coupled to the trailing implement.

A hitch assembly adapted to facilitate an articulation of a second frame relative to a first frame of an articulated machine includes a housing, a shaft member, and a pin member. The housing has a cavity, and is adapted to be coupled to the first frame through first fasteners. The shaft member has a through-hole and is received into the cavity, and is rotatable relative to the cavity and the housing to facilitate an oscillation of the second frame relative to the first frame. The pin member is received into the through-hole, and is rotatable relative to the through-hole and the shaft member to facilitate the articulation of the second frame relative to the first frame. The pin member is adapted to be coupled to the second frame through second fasteners.
