ABSTRACT:
A dual implement hitch for pivotal connection to the drawbar of a towing vehicle whereby a pair of implements, such as rakes, tedders and the like may be selectively towed in different relative positions without disconnecting the implements from the hitch and reconnecting same in different positions. The hitch comprises an arched longitudinal frame having a clevis at its front end for connection to a towing vehicle and a transverse frame, supported by wheels at its opposite ends, pivoted to the rear end of the longitudinal frame to swing about a vertical axes. A power actuator is connected between the arched longitudinal frame and the transverse frame for changing the angular position of the transverse frame relative to the longitudinal frame. A first drawbar, fixed to the front end of the hitch, extends rearwardly for towing as implement under the longitudinal frame, and a second drawbar, fixed to the transverse frame, rearwardly thereof for towing an implement to the rear of the hitch. Changing the angular position of the transverse frame member, relative to the longitudinal frame member causes the rear end of the hitch to shift to the right or left depending upon the direction of angular change produced by the power actuator.
