Embodiment Construction

[0025] The following detailed description illustrates the invention by way of example and not by way of limitation.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates one illustrative embodiment of a frame of the attachment of the present invention. The frame 10 is mounted to a three point hitch 1. The three point hitch 1 includes two arms 2 and 3 of a fixed length, with means, not here shown, for raising and lowering them, such means, usually hydraulic, being conventional, and a third arm 4, the length of which is adjustable. The three arms 2, 3, and 4 form the three points of a triangle.

[0027] The frame 10 includes a center post 12, and bottom plate 14 with a flat upper surface 15. The center post 12 is a square, hollow post, welded at a lower end to the upper surface 15 of the bottom plate 14. The post 12 has a front wall 5, a rear wall 6, side walls 7, and a heavy top wall 11 welded into an upper end of the post. The bottom plate 14 has two flanges 16, perpendicular to th...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001] None.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002] Not Applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003] This invention relates generally to towing attachments mounted on vehicles. It is especially well adapted to be employed with a tractor with a three point hitch, alternatively to provide a fifth wheel hitch or a gooseneck hitch. It has particular, but not exclusive, application to a Category 3 tractor.[0004] A wide array of loads, and many configurations and styles of load carriers, such as trailers and flat-beds are pulled by tractors with a three point hitch. Such tractors have the capacity to pull many loads over rough terrain, but are not intended to pull such heavy loads as a heavily loaded trailer such as the type pulled over the road by eighteen wheelers, but for pulling fifth wheel trailers such as farmers use on small type trucks. A three point hitch comprises two hydraulically operated arms spaced horizont...
