ABSTRACT:
A tractor front hitch10is provided for mounting an implement on the front of a tractor. The hitch has socket13mounted for pivotal movement relative to the tractor, a pair of lower implement support links12which form a sub-assembly received in the socket13,and one or more upper implement support links14supported from the tractor. The lower link sub-assembly12is moveable relative to the socket13between a coupling position, in which the lower link sub-assembly is at least partly withdrawable from the socket to facilitate coupling of the implement to the lower links, and a locked implement operative position in which the lower link sub-assembly12is locked in the socket13.The lower link sub-assembly12may be moved fore and aft, and side to side relative to the socket13and is also rotatable in the general plane of the socket to facilitate coupling when in the coupling position.
