ABSTRACT:
A pump supported from a wheeled trailer having a hitch connection with a tractor drawbar and a drive connection with the power take-off of the tractor with the pump including dual inlets enabling it to be backed into a ditch, sump, concrete canal, sewage lagoon, or the like. The hitch includes an elevated central portion defined by upwardly angulated portions rigidly connected at the center to facilitate the pump and its supporting frame and wheels being easily backed into and operated in relatively deep ditches. A drive shaft includes a universal joint supported at the apex of the angulated portions of the hitch so that the portion of the drive shaft connected to the tractor power take-off will be substantially in alignment with the power take-off on the tractor when the pump and its supporting frame and wheels are positioned in a deep ditch, sump, concrete canal, or the like.
