ABSTRACT:
A hitching device for attachment to a three-point hitch, or to a quick-attaching coupler on a three-point hitch, has a frame removably coupled to the draft links of the three-point hitch or hooks of a quick-attaching coupler. The frame has a horizontal member adapted to allow attachment of an implement. The horizontal member is disposed at a location that is below the draft links and that is forward of the ends of the draft links so that the horizontal member is closer to the tractor or other drive vehicle than the ends of the draft links. An alternative embodiment of hitching device includes an elevated hitch ball on top thereof for accommodating a fifth wheel trailer hitch. A pair of tine receiving slots are positioned in the two lowermost corners of the alternative hitching device frame for receiving a respective pair of rearwardly extending fork lift tines.
