ABSTRACT:
A variable offset hitch is especially adapted for selectively positioning a semi-mounted implement in a trailing, laterally offset relationship to a towing tractor having a three-point hitch. A pair of laterally spaced mounts, each having a plurality of horizontally spaced, upright lugs, are secured to the forward end of the implement and receive corresponding lift arms of the three-point hitch through the use of respective removable connecting pins having a length sufficient to span the distance between preselected pairs of lugs on each mount. Lateral displacement, in either direction, of the implement relative to its normal operating disposition behind the tractor is determined by the location of the tractor lift arms with regard to selected pairs of the horizontally spaced lugs. Relocation of the tractor lift arms relative to the lugs to effect the lateral repositioning of the implement with respect to the tractor does not interfere with the operation of a drive line between the tractor and the implement or the raising and lowering of the lift arms to control the height of the forward end of the implement with respect to the ground.
