Dexta Pick Up Hitch

Post by ADFDexta »

I've owned a Dexta for over a year now and was wanting to buy a pick up hitch for it, but was unsure that with the tractor not having one on before buying a complete one would it fit?? Can anyone help please :)

Yes it will fit but you will have to change the arms on the main hydraulic cross shaft; they can be beggers to get off the splines.

Why do you want a pick-up hitch - only useful if you're doing a lot of trailer work? For other implements a swinging draw bar is better. :wink:

One of mine has a PUH, hardly used as there are very few ring hitch trailers about for me, 50mm ball is more useful on a swinging drawbar.

Ebay has the fixed bits and I've seen the drawbar there often.
Ebay ref 181546692609
Otherwise try tractor auctions/autojumbles or tractor breakers like Ron Greet.

Swinging drawbars come up on ebay from time to time, but at ~£250 not cheap. :wink:
