ABSTRACT:
Integral hitch and standard mounting structure for a toolbar includes a first embodiment having a hitch tube connected to a three point hitch and to a rear toolbar. Brackets located a substantial distance outwardly of the hitch connect the hitch tube to the toolbar in parallel, rearwardly offset relationship to provide sufficient space between the tube and toolbar for lateral adjustment of tool brackets. Upright plate structure fixed relative to the front face of the toolbar has slotted extensions which project above and below the toolbar. Tool standard mounting bracket structure includes an upper L-shaped member having a horizontal leg positioned against the top of the toolbar and an upstanding bolt-receiving leg positioned against the upper slotted extension. A lower L-shaped member having a downturned bolt-receiving leg is fixed to the top of the tool standard and is positioned against the bottom of the toolbar and against the lower slotted extension. Bolts extending horizontally through the legs and the slotted extensions and bolts extending vertically through apertures in the aft ends of the L-shaped members behind the aft face of the toolbar, secure the tool in the desired location along the toolbar. In an alternate embodiment, a shortened hitch tube having a width approximately equal to the hitch with width approximately equal to hitch width is utilized.
