ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a quick hitch for connecting a prime mover to an implement to be used with the prime mover. The prime mover has a male assembly which can be quickly and easily hitched and unhitched to the female assembly of the implement. The male and female assemblies matingly receive one another and a locking mechanism on the female assembly maintains the two assemblies in a locked relationship. The prime mover is driven towards said implement until said male and female assemblies matingly engage one another, thereby engaging the locking mechanism and hitching the implement to the prime mover. To unhitch the male and female assemblies, the locking mechanism is moved to the unlocked position and the prime mover is driven away from the implement.
