Thanks The Swanndri Guy, this is an Irish version and no that is an aftermarket hitch, i think dromone make them, ive had them on a couple of 4000s now as they are a good alternative to the original hitch which to my eyes was a disaster, hard to unlock, bendy bottom plate, no way of changing the hook, lifting arms to prone to breakage, on top of that FAR too low to the ground because of the massive bulking plate the drawbar slid into !!!!!
Thanks lads, i try to keep it well, diesel leaks are annoying me at the minute, that side of the engine v dirty now as the tractor has ben busy all summer, but il get on top of them over the winter there will be room in the shed beside the Dexta project which is due to start shortly !!!
