Description

The StaFast Hitch from Foresight Services LLC allows a farmer with leg, back or mobility impairments to hitch and unhitch wagons without leaving the tractor seat or lifting a heavy drawbar. Even expert drivers don’t always get the wagon and tractor lined up right the first try so the result is a lot of climbing on and off tractors and lifting heavy wagon tongues. When harvesting grain or chopping silage, this routine may be repeated 40 or 50 times in a day.

The StaFast Hitch has two parts: a receiver bolted on the tractor drawbar and a wagon tongue spring kit. The receiver unit is a funnel shaped device bolted onto the tractor drawbar. The wagon kit is a heavy-duty tension spring that holds the tongue up off the ground. As the tractor is backed up, the receiver automatically lines up the tongue and guides it under a spring-loaded hitch pin. The hitch pin automatically springs into the tongue when it is aligned with the drawbar. A rope is pulled to unhitch the wagon and reset the hitch pin. The sides of the funnel are spring loaded and flex open when the tractor is turning sharply.

 

Heavy Duty hitches have 1 1/4″ hitch pin. The wagon tongue spring kit includes a heavy-duty top plate for the wagon. The original top clevis must be removed from the wagon, then replaced with the heavy duty top plate. The hitch pin on the hitch only goes through the top plate of the wagon clevis, so it must be reinforced before using with the StaFast Quick Hitch. If you do not want to modify the clevis on the wagon, a Pinned Clevis is available. The Pinned Clevis slips into the wagon tongue and is held in place with a regular hitch pin. This reinforces the wagon tongue without required cutting and welding.
