A pair of front latch legs are pivoted to the hitch frame in depending relationship for movement by a handle between a position to latchingly engage the front edge portion of the mounting member and a release position. Lock arms are mounted on the hitch frame for pivotal movement by trigger mechanism between a position to retain the front latch legs in their latching position and a position permitting the front latch legs to move to their release position.
