Has anyone attatched a hitch to this? If so how did you do it? I have a 1 7/8" ball on my riding mower.

I suppose you could fabricate a ball receiver to the sweeper but I just use the hitch pin that came with the sweeper.

i added the rear seat to mine which has a step pad to rest your feet on and this hitch with the receiver in it is tucked up under the rear step pad, which worked for me to hook a tow strap to pull a race car but you could not use this setup for a ball mounted on the receiver. the round hole is up under the step. i would have to do some measuring to see where it fits with the stock bag carrier mounted on the back. hope that helps.

Ours fits, but it is tight. Did you lubricate it? Hitches often get a little corrosion (rust) on the inside, so you might need a combination of oil and a little persuasion (I used some gentle taps from a dead blow mallet). Also, the weight of the basket makes it hard to get it to go straight in.

The hole in back fits a 3/4" shank (Class I & II - 1-7/8" or 2" balls). The hole in front is for a 5/8" lynch pin, not a trailerball (exact diameter is 11/16"). As you may know, some 2" balls (for Class III & IV hitches) have 1" shanks, so those 2" balls won't fit this hitch. The only thing I didn't like about this product was the closeness of the bar's lynch pin hole to the end of the bar - no idea why it had to go so far back... Hope this helps.

If there is a spot to attach it to the rear of the machine then yes. Normally on zero turn mowers there is a bar to provide engine protection at the rear of the machine. If there is a 6" spot there available for the hitch to be bolted or welded then you are all set.

you cannot mount it but it does have a metal bracket that came with it that fits through the handle and drops over the tow ball on a hitch. You have to go very slow as it only has push lawn mower wheels so it is designed for 3-5 mph. the ad does not show the hitch handle but mine came with one, and order the short hose they recommend as the one that ships with it should be in the tank not part of the package because it is of the same quality as what you are disposing of. the pre made hose is very good.

Bring the hitch into your local hardware store or Walmart and find one that fits in it. I found mine at Meijer, 2" ball for $6.99 the auto stores I notice charge double or triple what you can get them. I'm sure Amazon has the correct size, but I didn't want to wait.

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

Is there a receiver on the hitch? Square tube insert that the ball and tube pull out of? Ussually secured by a pin. If you mount the winch to a peice of 2x2x1/4" tube it will slide right in the receiver. You can also buy the adapter tube that fits this winch and fits a class III receiver. I belive they are around $40. I just purchased a small peice of tube from a local steel shop and drilled it my self.

The hole is for a 1-1/4" shank on the trailer ball, I am not sure if 2" balls are available in that shank size. You would not normally need the strength of a forged ball hitch when a 2" ball is used. The weight of the loaded trailer determines the strength of the ball and of the hitch required.

I don't see why not. It uses a standard lawn mower trailer hitch. You would just need a pin.

No, it does not require a 3 point hitch. The attachment is the same as for most lawn tractor drawn equipment, a horizontal "U" on the drawn piece goes over/under the hole in the "drawbar" at the end of the tractor and a pin goes through the "U" and the hole.

This item would connect with a standard hitch pin. Please check with the manufacturer of your lawn tractor to verify if the weight capacity of your hitch is compatible with this Lawn Vac.

That is the hitch receiver. You will have to buy the ball and attachment separatly.

Hi, I have a two inch ball on mine which I use to tow my boat. You have to pair it up with a ball with the right shank size as listed on the item. I used a 10000 pound ball.

The "Hitchin Post" includes a bolt that goes thru the lawn tractor's existing tow hole. So installation is one bolt to the tractor, then you add a standard ball as desired. Unfortunately, many tractors need reinforcementto carry the load of a trailer or equipment on the ball, since they increase the tongue weight considerably.
