ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a towing arrangement for a work vehicle. The towing arrangement includes a generally fore-and-aft extending positioning frame including a main frame and a guide frame. The main frame is pivotally connected to the vehicle for vertical pivotal movement between a raised transport position and a lowered position and the guide frame is supported by and movable longitudinally of the main frame and extendable from the free end of the frame by a hydraulic cylinder connected between the main frame and the slide frame. Lift arms are connected to the free end of the positioning frame for moving the frame between its raised and lowered positions, and a towing device is carried by the free end of the positioning frame. A retaining plate is secured to the rear of the vehicle and has a pair of rearwardly extending brackets secured thereto. A retaining lug is attached to one of the towing device and the free end of the positioning frame. The brackets and the retaining lug are provided with bores which are in alignment when the positioning frame is in the transport position for receiving a pin that transmits forces from the towing device directly to the vehicle.
