Extreme Max's High-Rise Hitch transforms your lawn or garden tractor into a versatile towing machine! The high-rise hitch raises the ball height 11.5" from the stock hitch plate, offering a more level and balanced tow for your utility trailers, wood chippers and splitters, tow-behind grills and smokers, boat trailers, or whatever other light-duty trailer you can get your hands on. The hitch provides a set back from the rear plate of the tractor, allowing an improved turning radius and wheel clearance over the stock hitch plate. The hitch is anchored to the tractor with a three-point bracing system and includes two brace sizes to customize the fit to best work with your tractor. A durable black powder coat finish protects the hitch from rust and other damage. Not for use in highway towing.
