Stafast Hitch

The Stafast Hitch receiver is bolted onto a drawbar, and tension springs are welded onto the implement tongue. The springs hold the tongue horizontal at drawbar height so that the receiver contacts the tongue and automatically hitches when aligned with the drawbar pin hole. A rope is pulled from the cab to unhitch the tongue. If automatic hitching is not necessary but the drawbar is very heavy, one may chose to purchase and install only the tension-spring assembly.

Cost: $450 (hitch) $60 (tongue lift kit)
