Abstract
A system consisting of a versatile hitch attached to a tractor which positions a ground-based implement, such as a mower, in front or to either side of the tractor. The hitch cushions or dampens movement using a torsional component over rough ground by the tractor allowing the implement to traverse a near parallel ground direction. The mower design mows either normally over open ground or in restricted locations, such as around fences supported by posts.
Claims6
A hitch mounted on a tractor containing a power system for controlling a ground-based implement, comprising:
- a longitudinally adjustable assembly, working in conjunction with said power system, which has sufficient capacity to handle movement of said ground-based implement, and which is structurally pivotally connected to said tractor;
- and
- means for providing a flexible dampening mechanism, which is stiffness adjustable, structurally connected between said longitudinally adjustable assembly and said ground-based implement.
